Drunk in Love was automatically certified gold (400k) in early July following streaming incorporation into certifications even though its 'real' sales were only of 287k. That means the song had racked up at least 11,263,400 streams (= 112,634 sales) back then.
645,000 - 112,634 = 532,366 sales (equivalent streams, to be exact) for Bey's other songs sans/without/excluding Drunk in Love.
Technically, Drunk in Love might've sold more as we only know it was
at least at 400k in early July thanks to the certification. XO's sales must also be well higher – close to 200k, hopefully.
I hope it's clear enough!
