Yes, if the question is which song is bigger. No hypotheticals.

Which song could have been bigger, however, is a separate question.

But it's not about what is fair and what is not. Not about what would be if The Cure had promo and video. It's about which song is bigger hit. And that's Never Really Over 

The Cure would have been bigger if it sold 1,000,000,000,000,000 units and that's that on that

Gaga was also a YT giant back in 2009/2010. She was probably the biggest streaming artist on the planet with Justin Bieber back in these days. 

TRUE.. remember when Bad Romance was the Most Viewed Video in YT?? 

It all went downhill during BTW Era aside from the cute YT Hits Judas and Applause.. and gotten worse after C2C & Joanne.. 

thank GodGa she gained a lot of views since ASIB Era but quite unfortunate for her that YT is starting to fade for English MVs since 2019

YT is so dead in the anglosphere

Spoiler

Not only in the anglosphere tho, YT’s audience is nowhere near its peak (2017, 2018). Don’t really know why tho, maybe the people who only was on YT for the music vids moved to streaming platforms instead (Spotify, Tidal...). Maybe those people just watch the mvs the day they come out and from time to time, but they stream mainly in those platforms instead of YT...

I think the YT Peak is 2016-2018

Digital Downloads Peak: 2011-2013

Joanne era? Pls that era had the smash hit Million Reasons and the other smash hit( for Katy's standards) Perfect Illusion.

 

Better compare Katy's new singles with Joanne ( the song )

It's obvious that Spotify/AM etc stole a huge chunk of YT Views

[little legend]

If iTunes wasn't dead in recent years, Shaow woukd have been the first song ever to sell 10m downloads
