When Telephone was released most of European countries didn't have iTunes there were only like 10 countries with music store, and people comparing a 11 minutes video long with a 3 minutes long haha Telephone is at 200 million (has an explicit version)

PLEASE, there was like an 8% increase in revenue between 2011 and 2012, you're talking as if there was this huge ass gap .

And it was 23 countries, not 10.

Telephone sold 7.5 million copies WW as of December, 2010, according to official IFPI numbers. You can bet it's sold 8 million by now since they love the song in Asia. Doubt Scream & Shout will sell that much hihi.

The gap between 2010 and 2012/2013 in digital sales is pretty significant, and yet it seems as though S&S will still not top Telephone worldwide. I think it's obvious, then, which was truly the bigger hit relative to the rest of the industry during each song's respective peak.

Except Telephone has an explicit version with almost 40M views.

But Telephone was released almost 3 years ago. While S&S 3 months ago. So that 40M doesn't really matter

S&S is clearly a bigger hit. People here should at first thought of a normal (ordinary) people who don't stan for any popstar and are regular listeners to the radio, music and tv.

In that terms S&S is already a bigger one. Telephone was rather exclusive in terms of a success. S&S is bigger in radios and on tv. Views on YT also says clearly who's the winner.

Doesnt change the fact that:

• Telephone - 161,550,240 views in 2 years
• Scream & Shout - 137,125,490 views in under 3 months

*pulls out seat for you - you sit down - I laugh*

Obviously Telephone is the much bigger hit. People are conveniently forgetting that TFM sold over 12 million copies worldwide, partly because Telephone was such a smash. S&S isn't helping will.i.am selling many albums in comparison. Ofcourse stans for singles artists would vote for S&S, but Telephone is much bigger,

[Jolie's Lips]

Scream & Shout has more Youtube views than Thriller, so I guess it's a bigger hit than Thriller has ever been.

[Haunter]

Telephone.

[JonnyϟLightning]

The logic, or lack thereof, in here.

Bigger hit =/= bigger album sales. Examples of this faulty logic:

1. Video Games was a bigger hit than Call Me Maybe, just because Born To Die sold more than Kiss.

Oh please. The Monsters used to always pull the Youtube receipts out when Bad Romance was the #1 most viewed video of all time. Now that a slur of videos have passed it you all act like you're above it.

The charts, views, searches, media and sales are all in favor of Scream & Shout, and no amount of inflation from your fanbase will change that.

Telephone obviously. The video alone is more iconic than Scream & Shout.

[Ivan_brit]

Scream and shout Its already bigger and the single Its not even done yet in charts so i think this beata telephone

Then why are more people watching S&S then? Certainly an iconic video like Telephone could at least rack up 200 million views by now, don'tcha think?

[freebitch26]

Telephone sold 8 million copies, has won Awards, & has made cultural impact

[iheartBrit]

Scream and Shout

Only trannys used Telephone and Beyonce fans who pretended to like the song because their fave was in it.
