I just listened to Toxic and I must say that Crazy In Love is the superior song

[Alexey]

And why y'all Bey stans bring up the soundtrack and so on? We are tired of counting how much toxic got re-makes by contestants on different singing shows and so on.

CIL numbers over Toxic aren't that impressive or big, considering it has had Superbowl promo this decade and Beyonce recorded a new version for one of the biggest soundtracks this year (50 Shades of Grey) and it was also featured on the trailer which had 100 mill+ views.

Toxic is definitely more remembered and it has the more iconic video.

Only one fan base would have the logic "even though a song is streamed, bought, and played more it's less remembered because it doesn't have a big lead for my standard".

Why is Crazy in Love selling more than the other in 2015 with NO performances and it streamed more the last months without any performances or promotion?

Give me the logic that you though performances from 2013 and 2014 somehow effect a song 2 years later. If it wasn't as remembered them soon as the promotion stopped the songs activity would fall back to irrelevance correct?

Did you forgot it was the soundtrack of one of the biggest if not the biggest movie of this year?

The song has been promoted to death this decade, she really needs a way to make her classics stay afloat, we all know that if it wasn't for all that promo the song would be forgotten because even tho it's a good track, there's nothing iconic about it. Toxic was revolutionary, CIL was just another big hit.

What's wrong with putting those numbers into perspective? The amount of promo CIL has had this decade is astronomical and yet it is only selling 1k copies more per week than Toxic.

[SimpleKindofLife]

Toxic's video is much better than CIL's but I still find CIL more iconic longevity wise.

Britney Spars - Toxic

obviously.

[iHype.]

There's no point in bringing up the Soundtrack when CIL was outselling it and outstreaming it prior to it. In 2015 CIL is selling more and streaming more performances and remakes or not, therefore it's more remembered.

Time to move to 2015 stats and not past history.

what? lol are you being serious? it's still sounds like nothing on the radio! while CIL is just some typical Bey song or any other song with saxophone or what's that idk. There is a reason why it was Britney's biggest radio hit at that time.

But it was overshadowed by Yeah and a few other songs obviously
Crazy In Love was on top for 8 weeks. What other song sounds like Crazy In Love (besides Deja Vu)

Exactly, you would be expect a bigger difference
Right now, CIL is in the 900s and Toxic in 1200s so there isn't that big of a gap.

Toxic is effortlessly remembered And not even Britney's biggest classic hihi.

But the question is which one is more remembered. And even if there is only a gap of 300 spots, then it's clear one is above the other.

[Nicole]

More remembered?

The one that gets more recurrent airplay, gets more YT views, was recently performed at the Superbowl, was played in the record-breaking trailer for 50 Shades + in the TV spots and in the movie.

It's horns not saxophones.

CIL sounded nothing like what was on the radio at the time, and it still doesn't. There was a period afterwards where imitations came out because it was so popular (1 Thing, Get Right) but this is not a typical song, though it is indicative of Beyoncé's "live" style which was further explored in B'Day.

[i spit on haters]

"Crazy in love", easily. I still see it referenced often. Especially the "uh oh uh oh no no no" dance.

Did it ever occur to you CIL receives more promo because it's the bigger classic.

Classics get performed at the Super Bowl, World Tours, and Soundtracks. Kinda like how All I Want for Christmas is more promoted than any other hit from 1994 because it's a huge recurrent classic people want to see performed yearly? Maybe if Toxic was a bigger classic it would get half the major performances and promotion this decade.

Thanks for helping prove the point!

Trent you are so desperate to discredit Bey at any chance you get. You really think that Crazy In Love would be forgotten if it wasn't featured in 50SOG?
