what would be different if it was a song you liked or thought was "good" ?
Sometimes its about what connects with the public and timing. "Drunk in Love" had all the makings and released correctly and was blocked. This is going #1 just on the strength of it resonating.
Didnt need a video, major promotion or anything from her aside from .... just releasing the song.
to further my point. Drunk In Love had a video and major performance and still couldnt unseat the #1 spot
