you can't be serious

it's Beyonce ft Lady Gaga

Only by the Hive. Everyone else seems to rate it like it should be. In a current rate dealing with the Pop girls' signature hits, 114 ballots have been casts and CIL rates lower than Umbrella and Toxic. All three songs made top 40 though.

Always tours with you, even though it's completely unrelated.

Silly fxaggots. Stick to fingering bussies in the back of the gay clubs.

These excuses don't make sense

Cause telephone is as urban as videophone ?
And telephone was performed and promoted live.

The real tea is it walked away with GRAMMYs, also the highest ranking song from this generation on the Rolling Stone 500 Greatest Songs list, also named Song of the Decade by several places and still get praise 11 years later... and for 1 Thing the rip-off wasn't even an option or a factor. And when he was apart of the Grammy committee she won 1 Grammy for B'Day.

It's still a remix. The only new thing was the Gaga verse.
The only reason they made that video was because of Telephone. It's just a cute song.
How do you explain Rihanna ft Maroon 5 flopping or Rihanna ft Shakira flopping?

It is actually underrated. It's chart success does not define it's legacy - otherwise one would could consider songs such as "Tik Tok" and "Party Rock Anthem" bigger than all 3 songs in the OP.

What gives "Crazy In Love" it's edge is its quality and impact - Not to mention that it is the debut solo single of Beyoncé, and is a great metaphorical representation of Beyonce's career. It just holds up better than the other songs in the OP.

Her father was on the Grammy committee from 2006-2007 during the B'Day era and she walked away with a whopping 1 Grammy

But that's quite normal that he was on the committee. The committee is made up of industry insiders, producers, managers etc. Anyone can join, once you qualify. Rihanna's has members of her team on the Grammy committee, producers who have worked with some of your fav artists has as well.

Just like how Beyonce will have more longevity and will be more remembered than both Rihanna and Britney, Crazy in Love will have more longevity and be more remembered than both Umbrella and Toxic.

Y'all are acting like the song hasn't been adapted twice in the past two years alone for different high profile movies.. y'all act like people don't lose their **** every time Beyoncé performs it because it's one of her most universally recognizable and loved singles from just about anyone. And y'all hide behind such minuscule ways to measure success and impact such as sales or chart positions instead of how many people overall the song has reached, and I'm willing to bet money that more people know Crazy in Love than both Umbrella and Toxic. Why? Beyoncé is simply the bigger star.

Sooner y'all accept that the easier y'all's lives will be.. smh yet y'all have the GAUL to call the Hive is 'sensitive' or 'defensive' when y'all literally spend your minutes thinking of which thread y'all can make next trying to discredit her.

118th on Rolling Stone's 2010 list of the 500 greatest songs of all time. It placed at #1 on VH1's 100 Greatest Songs of the 2000s. It won Grammys for Best R&B Song and Best Rap/Song Collaboration.
2M sold in the US
and has been also certified platinum/2x platinum in most countries it was released in
Peaked Top 10 in almost every region except for Finland & France.
ASCAP cited "Crazy in Love" as one of the most performed songs of 2004
etc.

If anything CIL doesn't get the recognition it deserves.

I stand by my point.

I never said that.
I said. This legendary song that's going to be remembered forever seems to not have enough people remembering to buy it. That's all.

QueenBeyoncé

"Tik Tok" and "Party Rock Anthem" are bigger than Crazy in Love, Toxic and Umbrella going by ATRL logic

just as why don't you love me was perfomed

I was a very successful song all over the world, but I wouldn't say it was bigger than Toxic and Umbrella.
