Skyfall was never going to be that dominate because 1. it was a movie track (a Bond track at that) and they're rarely that big, especially these days and 2. her team knew she wasn't going to do anything to promote it, make a music video, etc because she was pregnant.
It's very clear of her starpower in the fact she announced the song five days before it's release and it still broke iTunes records, sold 260k in three days, and managed a top 10 debut, even after the Billboard rule change (where it would have debuted at number 3 if not for the change).
Let's not even get into it's critical accomplishments and the awards that it's won/still winning.
It didn't have radio airplay (songs that take so long to build up the way it did hardly find success on radio) and the lack of a music video ultimately stopped it's momentum, not her "lack of power".
So to simplify it for you if you think because Skyfall (the most successful movie track in YEARS) was a flop or a sign of having "little power" then I'm not even going to continue to argue with your flat out ignorance.
But then again, this comes from a place where people actually called Beyonce fading and having no more power.
