And I'm not saying the song is not remembered, is just it has a huge advantage over toxic, which was really really bigger than CIL last decade.

You can't force a song to become a classic. No radio deals, tv spots, performances, will make that happen if the GP does not love it and remember it. Period.
It has a huge advantage because people remember it. Meaning they wanna hear it, buy it, see Beyonce perform it, and if it's in a commercial they might give it extra attention because a song they remember and enjoy is being used with something fresh and new.
No one wants to hear Toxic in 2015 because barely anyone remembers it. Maybe if it was remembered enough someone would've put it on a soundtrack in 2013 and 2015...

Soundtracks does depend on labels, but does Britney's label have a history of not allowing songs to be in soundtracks?
Get Right has a very prominent live sample just like CIL, and was produced by the same guy. It clearly follows in its footsteps even if they don't have the same melody.
The choreography IS iconic. Do the oh-oh dance and asks someone to ask who it is. They'll say Beyoncé.

Nope! Her music has been featured in Freaky Friday, Bridesmaids, Grand Theft Auto V, Austin Powers, The Smurfs, You Again, EastEnders, The Hills, White Chicks, and Drive Me Crazy, among others. And "Outrageous" was supposed to be the theme song for Catwoman.

Is this suppose to be some kind of feat considering it only went #1 in ONE country?

It's hard to do when "I like Britney better than Beyonce" is your one and only receipt

"Crazy In Love" is Beyoncé's biggest song  Granted it had payola, but "Single Ladies" and "Halo" have their global totals inflated by those FreezOne sales in South Korea. They did not do as well internationally as CiL.

Single Ladies (a song which went top 10 in less countries than Work Bitch) is Beyonce's biggest hit?

LOLOL. And also three times less remembered.
That was a novelty hit and started no horn trend whatsoever.

Before she performed the song in the SB, it was forgotten, not completely, but it wasn't a classic at all.
CIL was a forced classic this decade, and it worked people felt for the trap.
This makes me remember to the Pepsi Commercial she launched in 2013, they displayed all her outfits like if they were iconic, but people only knew about the SL one

Where is the bias?
Was Get Right not produced by the same producer and using a similar live-instrument type sample that carries the song?
Did most critics not rate CIL so high?
Is this dance move associated to someone else other than Beyoncé?
