Except it's nominated for Song and Record of the year.
And is critically acclaimed which is more important since sales are dying.
Eggs meet Face.
Why does the hive bring up impact in everything? A hit is about a commercial performance. And duh it's nominated cause it's an acclaimed song by Beyoncé. That don't change the fact that it barely stayed on the charts (but it was free!1!!1!1!1) and flopped everywhere else overseas. So yeah that's not a hit
Formation had the highest selling first week sales for a single by a female artist, after being unavailable to purchase for months. The song was literally given out for free up until that point. If that doesn't show the demand and impact, then idk what to tell you.

One is a very trendy, super catchy song fitting the production style of the time that was released and promoted and available for purchase/streaming.
The other was on trend but much more niche and divisive in it's message, was not released but given for free, that was not available on streaming, that was not released to radio and still went top ten.
Chantaje (WW Itunes peak) = 26
Formation (WW Itunes peak after being released 2 months beforehand and alongside the album itself, which contained Formation) = 1 (for 4 days)
