Roar has higher sales, higher streams, and had better radio peaks (not sure about longevity since I don't pay attention to radio that much) so how was SIO bigger
That's like Billboard saying E.T. is Katy's biggest hit because it charted the longest in the Top 10. However, of the Teenage Dream era we all know E.T. was definitely NOT her biggest hit.
