Born This Way does not have more sales worldwide US. At the end of 2011, according to Media Traffic Born This Way sold a little over 6 million world wide while Firework was closing on 8 million.

Born This Way sales are more than 9 million digitally wise only.

Yes it's selling one copy per 2 weeks in all those countries you listed.

Lol. Firework ***** on BTW in every way. And it is a big recurrent hit whereas BTW fizzled and faded. I don't hear it at all anymore. I hear Firework all the time, still.

Where did you get those inflated numbers from?

IFPI . The only reliable source

Love both songs but Fireworks is slightly more encompassing and less stand offish than BTW.

Oh you guys are still on sales?

Well , I don't think you can talk about impact on ATRL without bringing up sales , obviously the videos I posted in the first page are just a tiny sample of how impactful Born This Way has been , then KatyKats brought up sales and awards , and still Born This Way outdoes Firework

They even discredit IFPI receipts , but they credit fan estimates [and Mediatraffic] on Firework.

If you're going by sales, I'd say Born This Way.

If you're talking about impact, then I'd still say Born This Way.

Well here is the definition of anthem as it relates to a song:

Anthem
A usually rousing popular song that typifies or is identified with a particular subculture, movement, or point of view

Firework is still in the Top 100 of the iTunes Worldide Chart and Born This Way is out of the chart. Firework has so many more views on youtube, and only the first verse of Firework will be more remembered than Born This Way. The answer is so obvious

[DripDrip]

I used Firework more as an anthem type song then BTW tbh.

[Brite Lites ☆]

Firework. No one outside the monsters remembers the other song.

[fpppy]

Born This Way

[ThaMusicLover]

Firework.
Still plays on the radio, the longevity of the Queen.

[ChandlerBing]

Firework is iconic, the anthem of the generation. BTW is forgotten. Deal.

[pika]

Firework. It was a bigger hit, is globally known, iconic to the Fourth of July and News Year Eve, and is still constantly played on the radio. Even if Born This Way sold more (which is not even true) more people are downloading Firework than Born This Way as of late, and it came out earlier than Gaga's single. THAT is an anthem.

"Firework"

[BlondeAmbitionxX]

BTW tbh, it's more global and legends coverd it....
