In many Countries Shallow did have a lot of sales, longevity not to mention media impact and covers etc Doesn't mean it was bigger than Poker Face or Bad Romance tho I'm just asking since it's #8 But I just realize this is probably last year's Global chart not all time Yes it did really well WW but not in level of BR or PF. But just my view. I just saw a tweet that says it sold 10.2M units in 2019. As per Wikipedia, PF has sold 14M and BR has sold 12M. Again, I am just answering your question- Is it a bigger global hit than BR and PF. Love it when you call me legs In the morning, buy me eggs Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

A “tweet” is not a source, we will only know how much it sold when IFPI reveals its full report next month. Even if it was true, Shallow would’ve sold 10M in a year, while BR sold 12M in 12 years Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess singles sales in streaming era will be much higher than digital sales 10 years back irrespective of how big the songs were. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_best-selling_singles Love it when you call me legs In the morning, buy me eggs Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't hear any music sound like BR after that I don't think it changed industry U could argue Gaga increased the bar for music videos but it wasn't Bad Romance alone that did that Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
