It was also among the pioneer in reviving POP/Dance music as a whole. That song is really something. Its success in US started overseas. Had it was released in US first, it'd easily be a #1. That song was dying out when it finally received US proper release.
That MJ sample is everything.

I'm aware, but I'm not disillusioned. A song's success nor what it does for one's career make it a superior song. Only Girl could've not even touched the Bubbling under charts and I'd still list it as her best uptempo, because it is. DSTM helping to continue the GGGB era does not make it any better than had it stayed an album track.
The quality, the production, the theme, the content, the lyrics, the meaning, the melody, the beat of Only Girl in the World are all superior to DSTM.
