PS: They are inflated receipts, I could easily inflate Unconditionally and say it sold 2,500,000 worldwide but then again, I'm not a little monster

So you are basically saying you are delusional ? I simply don't understand. I posted the certifications. Every single certifications has a source. Therefor those receipts are valid. You posted your own figures, that have no source , claiming Uncle outsold DWUW WW?!
btw I only talked about WW sales. In the US Uncle sold ~50k more.

US Sales
Do What U Want - 1,131,471
Unconditionally - 1,000,000
Since these are both kind of outdated numbers, let's look at Kworb's predictions.
Do What U Want - 1,134,000 (Last updated: 04/06/14)
Unconditionally - 1,109,000 (Last update: 12/28/14)
Now let's look at worldwide sales. (Some of these are based off of certifications.)
Do What U Want
US - 1,131,471
UK - 200,000
South Korea - 67,340
Mexico - 60,000
Canada - 40,000
Sweden - 40,000
Italy - 15,000
Venezuela - 5,000
TOTAL - 1,558,811
Unconditionally
US - 1,000,000
Australia - 70,000
Italy - 30,000
Sweden - 20,000
Denmark - 15,000
Venezuela - 5,000
TOTAL - 1,140,000

And the fact that huncle had such an extravagant video and was heavily promoted yet it flopped hard

Beyoncé got her first top 10 on hot 100 in 1997 and the last one in 2013.
Can't wait to see Gaga going top 10 in 2024.

Italy - 30,000
Sweden - 20,000
Denmark - 15,000
Venezuela - 5,000
TOTAL - 1,140,000
As you can see, both did about the same in the US (with Do What U Want doing slightly better), but it's clear which one was bigger worldwide, especially since one's worldwide sales just barely outdid the other's US sales. I can do this for Birthday and This Is How We Do as well if people insist on claiming they too were bigger songs.
Also, don't come for me saying that Unconditionally has more VEVO views. Of course a legitimate music video would have more views than a simple audio video - that's how it works. If you really wanna bring that up though, Do What U Want's simple audio video has 42,221,243 views, while Unconditionally's lyric video - which is the most comparable thing to the audio video for Do What U Want - has 21,237,681 views.

It was a bigger hit in the beginning (we've already established this) but it has sold more in the entire year

I am dying at "we've already established this"
Like when? We all posted valid receipts showing DWUW > Uncle.
Dude, you seriously have some problems.
Katy absouletly destroyed Gaga this era. Nobody is denying that.
Roar > all ARTPOP singles combined.
Dark Horse > all ARTPOP singles combined.
Prismatic Tour's gross will probably end up being 3x more than artRave.
It's simply fascinates me. Your hatred. You are willing to make up receipts in attempt to show.........what? Just wow.

Look sis, they did comparably well (in the US). They each got a good amount of promo in the US, but Unconditionally got more on a worldwide scale if I'm correct (Do What U Want was only performed in the US and the UK), plus it got a video, while the other did not. It can be bigger in your heart, but you cannot deny receipts. If we start denying facts, what will we have left? Anarchy? And no need to be so rude - I never once called it or any of her other singles "flops," because they weren't. You were spreading a fallacy, someone asked for receipts, and I provided them.

Should we be suprised that the OP is a Katheryn fan. 
Anyways, Katy. Honestly if TIHWD and BD are any indication for what the future holds, I am sorry but Katy's chart career isn't looking bright.
