OMG did you even read? HDD is the site where people get album sales from and sometimes single sales.
As of February doesn't make it unreliable, it only makes it outdated, which means Unconditionally had sold more since then.
So embarrassing

When was Beyoncé's last song to go 2x platinum ?

Born This Way disagrees.
Applause is more global than anything Bey ever released in the past 5 (6?) years

US - Platinum (1,000,000)
Denmark - Platinum (30,000)
Italy - Gold (15,000)

+

Mexico - Platinum (60,000)
Canada - Gold (40,000) *not updated*
So it's more than obvious DWUW outsold Uncle WW.
|
DWUW: 1,690,000
Unconditionally?
1,500,000 (US) + 150K (UK) + 40K (Italy) + 20k (Sweden)
= 1,710,000
And that's not even including Australia, Canada, etc where it did well so I'm probably missing 200k sales and the other European countries too.
Check her receipts thread and seethe.

 nobody is denying that.
That user said Uncle outsold DWUW. That is not true.
You are an obvious troll. Whatever makes your life more entertaining I guess

7/11? #13 with no performances, no banner, no ****ing radio airplays (not even 30m Al)
so when Radio and especially Pop radio decide to comeback to her; the GP .99$ won't be a problem. not mentionning that she's a powerful streaming artist...

DIL's peak powered by a grammy's opening performance...okay push
Pop won't comeback to Beyonce...she'd need to comeback to them. I understand you are a fan but be realistic she didn't drop them after two of her singles failed to do anything on top 40.
Streaming also contributed to those peaks you speak of. 7/11's peak is also indicative of that.
that said, Beyonce's chart run has usually been all over the place. She has many top 10s but then barely top 40s in the same era.
Not sure if she will continue the surprise route which is effective like a shiny toy syndrome but without it I'm not sure she'll be able to dominate as much.
I think Feelin myself whether or not she has the ability to crossover into top 40 since we know she dominates urban.
We shall see...

First of all, not everything gets certified. HDD are very reliable and obviously Uncle outsold the other one. But regardless why are you comparing it to Birthday and TIHWD? Those are 4th and 5th singles after the album had already sold most its copies. And one more thing is people here seem to forget that Dark Horse was overshadowing Uncle (which honestly wasn't nearly as good). The minute she allowed one radio station to play Dark Horse in heavy rotation it shot up to the #1 spot, before the music video. Did DWUW have something overshadowing it? It even had more airplay than Uncle while one was coming off a smash hit, and the other was coming off Applause.
