Culturally, Drunk In Love. By in terms of sales, Do What U Want is ahead, especially given it doesn't have a video.

By the way, before you try it with these "receipts" of yours. Drunk in Love was a US only single.

Do What U Want was, especially considering it had no where near the airplay of Drunk In Love and it had no (released) music video.

Drunk In Love, but both are around the same. DIL only peaked at 2 because the position was bought. It was impossible for it to reach #2.

Boo, since you're mentioning the "no music video" for DWUW, please be sure to mention DIL was an urban single for the US!

lmao at these stats.
DWUW has so manyy and high peaks because of album pre-orders effect. It debuted high in a lot of countries but it went down fast.
Obviously
Drunk in Love
.

Don't quote me, I know what I'm saying. DIL was originally released as an urban single in the US.

The pre-order sales are not counted for Do What U Want's total sales (in the US at least). It sold 1.2 M just based on the greatness of the track
