Drunk In Love is a bigger song (impact wise) and Applause was the stronger song chart wise (longevity in top 10, sales etc.

I'd never expect such ******** from a Katy Perry stan. They're one of the respected stanbases on here.

I'm just saying the truth, I think DIL is a good song, but it's a flop, it has a very high peak, but it's a flop. It's a lead single and its success is dissapointing.
I accept when my fave flops, and you don't know how to do it. Let go and just be free.
It's just what I think,

DIL feels bigger tbh

How is DIL a flop? 8 weeks in the top 10, 14 weeks in the top 20... And it's not like any other "lead single" this was released after the album sold like 1 million copies (in the US) unlike other cases where the fans can buy the single then wait for the albums a couple of months later.

The one with impact.

I cannot at you using entries from Urbandictionary as receipts of DIL's impact

Applause was more successful.

Drunk In Love had more impact.

Here are the facts: DIL is iconic, while Applause isn't really remembered.
Monsters are the biggest internet stan base by far and have scewed results in the past.
Don't come for me heaux.

[Rihhyonce]

Drunk In Love, by far.

Applause will win because it's more iconic, sold more, is a better song, peaked higher on radio, lasted longer in the top 10 on itunes and billboard and it's video has more views.

Applause wins in every possible category.

For once I'm happy to see you!

Applause has been out for almost 8 months. Of course it will have double the sales of 4 month old DIL.
DIL will catch up. And if not, it'll come close. The YT views definitely are.

How is "Drunk In Love" losing this poll? I'm a little lost here.

Not my fault it's such a memorable, quotable song

Yikes at some of the delusional Beyhive in here using the sales from the first two weeks when DrIL wasn't available for individual purchase acting as though the only reason those 600+K people, then subsequently 300+K people bought the album was for DrIL. The single hadn't even taken off at that point to even make that assumption

Beyoncé is a big star. People were gonna buy the album regardless. Doesn't mean you can start adding album sales to single sales to prove whatever point you're trying to prove. By that logic, XO was a massive hit too because we can take whatever sales it had and add those first two or three weeks of album sales to it since people "couldn't buy the individual songs on iTunes."

Applause is currently a bigger hit than Drunk In Love. Drunk In Love has/will have more impact than Applause. It could also end up being the bigger hit than Applause eventually, but right now, that is not the case...

My BFF works at a restaurant and they always have the radio on. He's says that he doesn't even remember hearing applause of the radio but he always hears DIL!

[Jackson]

Applause had some longevity and reached much higher positions on iTunes (and maintained them). Applause was bigger.

[clbylara]

The monsters are so hypocritical! First they say sales don't matter and that impact is what counts. And yet they are throwing numbers out left and right when DIL is the one who has clearly made the most impact and is the one that will be remembered. And I'm sure DIL will outsell Applause in the long run! DIL wins!
