Then why couldn't IASF do the same?

Bey didn't promote the re-release like rihanna did with disturbia and take a bow.

I think it's bey's biggest hit. Still has some recurrent airplay out here.
Still not bigger than Umbrella or Toxic by a long shot, only delusionals think that, but no- the song's success is not overrated.

[materialboy]

Yes like Beyonce

Toxic is much more bigger than CIL

These excuses

Maybe, speaking chart-wise.
But a songs legacy doesn't end after it charts (Thriller's chart positions weren't impressive either).

Beyoncé has elevated and transformed the song over and over again.
Keeping it fresh for current generations.

No.

It's kinda the poor man's version of CIL, and Rich Harrison knows it.

Nope, by the time he got to Jennifer's "Get Right", the sound was beyond reductive and stale, but Amerie's song is a classic.

OT: Yes, CIL is overrated and the main reason that it's looked upon as this huge song when having super average sales is due to her constantly performing it over the years and people just choosing to buy into the hype her PR created. Toxic, Umbrella and others are much more iconic and remembered than CIL or they should be anyway.

Are the girls mad that Crazy in Love is more praised than the other two? Another thread, and you all are mad

Idk why the op resorts to lying about sales to make a flame bait thread

Crazy in Love came before 1 thing & Get Right. Poor man version.

A never promoted song vs a bonus song we already had when the album came out ?
