It was mostly big in Europe, tbh. It did something everywhere, though.

I thought the Latin countries used it up because of the Shakira feature?

Going by peaks: If I Were A Boy
Sales: Single Ladies

So I don't see how can someone say Telephone is her most global hit

Beyy

Halo >

Superpower

The wasps are so embarrassing

I am pretty sure songs like Single Ladies, Crazy In Love or Halo are bigger than this

Let me help you understand.

Imagine you're a fan of a lesser popstar, or a fan of a popstar and you think that any success Beyoncé has is a threat to your fave (because you can't like something without worldwide validation). You need to say something to make it seem like Beyoncé is not as big or important as she really is. What do you bring up? Something like this.

No, it's not

ReachOut

Nope it's already forgotten

Single Ladies, Halo, Crazy In Love >>>

Bie

Sale Wise? Yes
Everything else? Crazy In Love

Haribo

Yes. Telephone was big everywhere including Asia, Beyonce's weakest market.

South Korea:

Halo: 2.1 million (still charting)
Telephone: 1.3 million (not charting)

Not WW, and the only country where Telephone is Bey's top selling song is France.

Gavroche

Nope. It's Crazy in Love.

I would even go as far as saying DIL is a bigger hit, simply because it got a lot of airplay and people all around the world know the song and celebrate it. I think Drunk in Love will definitely become a song beyonce is going to be remembered for. Telephone, however not.

Take some tissue paper and WIPE the **** that's coming out of your mouth.

Nope, it's not, but voted yes.

I never got the people who said Telephone was a global hit. Sure, it had some hype when the music video came out but I wouldn't say the song itself was a hit. I heard it very few times on the radio and I just feel like both artists have had songs that were much bigger

Beyonce's biggest global hit is probably either Crazy In Love or Single Ladies

RomaZzzRoma

yes

M A R C

CIL is.

Telephone is probably Beyoncé's biggest hit but it's not a career defining song for her.

Telephone sold 8.5+ million WW, more than any Beyoncé single this decade.
