One Dance is obviously the better song, but it will not be more successful than Starships. First of all, sales > peaks (Starships sold 8M+ worldwide). Second of all, One Dance has the advantage of streaming. Back in 2012, streaming wasn't incorporated into the charts. Had streaming been incorporated into the charts, Starships would've have way better peaks worldwide.
One Dance will not sell 4.5M WW, much less in the US
Anyone who's comparing single sales from 2011 and 2012 to 2016.

Anyways, One Dance has went #1 in 6 countries (Canada, UK, France, Netherlands, New Zealand, and Sweden) with Australia, US, Germany, Switzerland, and Belgium on the way.
Starships went #1 in 2 countries, Superbass went #1 in 0 countries.
The Barbz comparing digital sales from 2011 and 2012 to 2016. I guess Born this Way is bigger than every #1 in 2016 since it's sold more then all of them?

But the song sold 8 million copies.
I'm not following your logic. You're asserting that because One Dance peaks higher, even if it sells less than Nicki's 8 Million Copies, it's more successful?
What parts of it are actually innovative, deviating-from-the-norm & progressive?
I legitimately don't know anything about these parts of it, so I can't be sure.
95% of the music I see shared here/online in general by stans is definitely generic.
east asian pop music is like, unafraid to blend genres in ways that western pop stars wouldnt
Metal instrumentals with pop hooks
the structure being all over the place but still working so well
Get On Your Knees could've been Onika's biggest song ever she's so stupid to waste a single with global princess Ariana Grande in favor of The Song Is Still Bad Side to Side is coming though
These are all so ****ing good.
) are all slaying.
