Not wearing my stan shades, but "We Found Love" set a new high for EDM styled influenced songs & breakdowns. The video was also iconic and has influenced the hipster look in the mainstream. It also hit #1 on the BBH100.
There are also multiple other songs that are bigger than Bad Romance.
Toxic, Paper Planes, What You Waiting For, Umbrella, Stan, Hey Ya, Crazy In Love, Music, American Idiot, Seven Nation Army, Kids, Rehab, Last Night...
I dont know how much they have sold, I dont care tbh. I just know they have lasting impact and that Bad Romance is not the only song that should be considered. Just because Bad Romance is fresh and successful, doesnt mean its the most important or biggest song of the 00s, especially when in the 00s was the shift to digital era, so the sales are hard to compare.
This. Bad Romance is not as remember as Toxic, Music, Rehab or Seven Nation Army. Sales will never give you a classic status, ask Carly and her CMM.
