Nope, when you look back at the last decade, "CRAZY IN LOVE" will be mentioned, "Irreplaceable" will be mentioned. Heck, even "Baby Bou" would be mentioned over it. Single Ladies is disposable. Was good while it lasted.
The video isn't that Iconic. HALO is just 30 million views far from it. And we all know HALO is one boring video.

Maybe where you're from just those songs and videos will be remembered. "Baby Boy," as good and big as it was, is barely brought up as one of Beyonce's signature hits.
And you're comparing views, but if I'm not mistaken, "Single Ladies" was one of those videos that was affected by the VEVO takeover, like "Poker Face" and several other videos. That's not really anything to brag about really. Views do not mean that much. "Single Ladies" won Grammys, VMAs, and other awards. It's not as disposable as you would think. It's a respected song and video by a respected artist. I'm not going into it any further. "Single Ladies" is iconic.

Where I'm from, no one even knows what Beyonce is, so let's not get into that.
Let's just agree to disagree.

Girl please. It doesn't matter if your peeps don't know who she is, it's if they know the song. People that don't know who she is knows "Single Ladies". As well as a lot of other people that think of SL when Bey is brought up.
People don't think of "Bad Romance" when Gaga is brought up (except for ATRL). They just think of her as crazy/different and creative or Poker Face.

There are gospel and acoustic versions. Toddlers have tackled it. [So have] recreation centre dance classes, sorority sisters in their dorm rooms, suburban teenagers in their basements and high school cheerleaders... There are all-male tributes, an impromptu number in an airport lounge and even some 'new 'n' improved' videos of dance teams taking a second try. As with every Internet trend, there are of course the requisite Facebook groups devoted to it ... a couple of years ago, Soulja Boy initiated a short-lived dance craze ... but it remained mainly a male hip-hop dance, whereas the 'Single Ladies' dance has crossed over to all age groups and genders."

This pretty much sums it up. The parodies were shown everywhere, including national news stations and it was the most viewed video of the last decade. Bad Romance was great, but it's greatness is recognized in fewer circles than Single Ladies. It may have been the highlight of Gaga's career, but Single Ladies was one of the highlights of pop culture in the 00s.

We will never know 'Single Ladies' true amount of views. It has been viewed over 600 million times on the internet (not just YouTube). Also it would of have more youtube views than 170 million that it has now if its views were not reset. And sit down, it will always be referenced. It's iconic. It's copied in movies and is the 'put a ring on it' will always be referenced. sit.

Singles ladies is more iconic because of the dance, but bad romance is a MUCH better song and dance.

A complete lie
While the song is nothing special, probably one of the worst on the album, it will always be remembered as one of her special songs, her most iconic, especially with the dance, all in one take

Still many delusional people saying SL is more iconic but voted for BR because they like it better.
