SYA and Sorry will take over GS as the most viewed vids ever, OD is soon the most streamed song ever, Closer will likely be #2 OAT.
itīs kinda diiferent to compare.
one thing that a song like Hello is unique with tho is the overall stats: 4.7 million in US in already horrible sales climate, huge #1 on radio, 585 million WW streams on Spotify, 1.7 billion+ views and from an album that has sold 20 million copies (9 mill in US)

But still such huge hits have sold 6m digital copies and more in the US alone and they have impressive chart run and dominated the charts all over the world, I'd take sales over streaming anytime.
