Discuss

It has a still current theme and the song is a true bop
The video is spectacular aswell.

We Found Love - 306.7 million streams

All this

Are we supposed to be convinced that RTWG is bigger than ET and OGITW now?

It has been continuously promoted in to 2016. She even did Lipsync Battle earlier this year

The song flopped harder than Criminal, dont even dare to go there

Notice I didn't say all...but for some, that may be the case.

It objectively means they are forgotten, and Run The World is more remembered as we are now in the on demand streaming era.

So yes

Cause Run the world is a classic.
The others are not.

I mean streaming clearly shows the other songs are not being used
So in the long run Bey won.

Run The World - 139.4 million
Criminal - 26.2


You shouldn't try it

And Criminal hasn't even sold 300k?

Did it really Britney fan ?

Basically, it's featured on a lot of those "Girl power" etc. playlists so it still generates a lot of streams.

I still loathe the song tho

But she didn't, that's the thing.

ET: 8x platinum
Only Girl (in the World): 6x platinum

Run the World (Girls): Gold

Great song, great video, it's an iconic legendary classic hit despite its chart run.
Yes promotion is what some artists do when they are invested in their own output and can be depended upon

wft is Criminal? No one knows this song in the real world yet everyone knows RTW is a Bey song.

RTW hasn't even been certified since it came out

It's sales are wayy past 1 million alone.

Featured on countless playlists, constantly promoted, etc.
Its sales are also much lower than the other songs listed
