It was iconic, but the GP doesn't use it anymore. The video doesn't help it, true. But 87M isn't good for a 2008 single.
...
Other hit singles' music videos' views from that time period from pop girls.
423M - Beyonce, Single Ladies (2008)
314M - Beyonce, Halo (2008)
257M - Kesha, TiK ToK (2009)
242M - Lady Gaga, Poker Face (2008)
189M - Rihanna, Take A Bow (2008)
185M - Lady Gaga, Just Dance (2008)
185M - Beyonce, If I Were A Boy (2008)
137M - Lady Gaga, Paparazzi (2009)
114M - Lady Gaga, LoveGame (2009)
114M - Beyonce, Sweet Dreams (2009)
104M - Beyonce, Diva (2008)
96M - Rihanna, Disturbia (2008)
Some of these songs weren't even as big as IKAG. Even Thinking of You only has 10M less views than IKAG and it was no where near the hit IKAG was.
Even with all of the promo it's had this year. Prismatic World Tour performances, Super Bowl, private shows, Harper's Bazaar, Rock in Rio... nobody cares.
