Halo is Beyonce's 4th highest charting song while Umnbrella is Rihanna's 12th and there isn't much difference anyway (and halo was released 2 years later).
In all fairness, BOMT is now 15/16 years old. It's gonna sit like a reliable book in the dusty archive in pop's big library to be pulled out every now and again like Girls Just Wanna Have Fun, I Wanna Dance With Somebody, Hero, Total Eclipse of the Heart etc.
Give her some credit it isn't like it's one of those 10,000 Madead singles no one below 50 cares about any more.
BOMT will be the first 90's female music video to cross 100m views on youtube
The Grammy award winning album Unapologetic really helped change the urban soundscape. Urban artists such as Jay Z, Kanye West and Drake decided to take more artistic route and went for a more grittier "Unapologetic" sound with their newest albums.
And WFL has been internationally recognised in changing the pop landscape tremendously. She basically ushered in EDM. Without WFL, Lana would have never smashed with SS.
I noticed that it's a lot of the Beyhive members who are tugging on Gaga and Shakira their wigs. I mean, kinda ungrateful considering Beautiful Liar and Telephone are like two of the very few global hits she has.
Only rich white people worship Beyonce as some omnipotent being. But their media influence is disgusting. They need to stop worshipping her. If it's not healthy for women to emulate Rihanna then we need to stop worshiping Beyonce!
