I personally prefer its twin Already Gone.

It's a nice talent show song.

No, but the song was meant to Leona, we all know Leona is dumb and can't recognize a hit song so she passed it and it went right on Bey's lap.
"I feel you, pretty baby, feel me
Turn it up hot, lovin' you is free"

Sometimes I do think how that song would've jumped started Leona career again if she had it in Echo. Such a shame because it's miles better than Happy. If Beyonc truly stole it (don't know) that's very nasty. Leona must of blocked Beyonce on Snap chat.

First of all she stole it from Leona Lewis
Leona wrote Halo? This is news to me.

The amount of streams does not make a song a classic or iconic. That's like saying heavy sales and radio airplay determine whether a song is a classic or iconic, which isn't true.
Hmm maybe you're right. But what does make a song iconic for future references?
Halo is a popular song, but it will never be a classic, and certainly not iconic.
People on here claimed it was forgotten not that long ago, glad you agree it isn't at least.

Giiirl, you claimed Nelly Furtado had iconic songs. With all due respect, but your opinion doesn't matter

Says the person who says SOS and Unfaithful are iconic

Literally no one thinks it's becoming a classic except for the Fleahive. Go ask a random person on the street and they'll laugh in your face.

That's not the same thing at all. The fact that the song is still in such heavy
EIGHT
years after it's release is certainly an indicator of being it classic. Let's also not forget the song gets covered on a frequent basis .

I was claiming it was on its way to becoming a
classic
, maybe iconic. On its way. You have to remember there is no female song released pre 2010 that has more streams than Halo. That says something since streaming is obviously the future and the way you will determine if something is a hit or not. It's already like that.
Besides, there was a thread claiming Halo is forgotten. This is PROOF of the exact opposite.

Weren't you claiming it was iconic?

Secondly, you think every Beyonce song is popular so no surprise there.
So you're saying Halo isn't popular? Hey, it's your deluded mind against actual facts. Nothing new there though.

I'm not trying it. It literally is the most streamed song of the 00s and gained another 90 million this year, more than classic Madonna, Britney or MJ songs. I'm legit asking why the hell that song is streamed so much?
Perhaps

jacs is still trying it with Hello

First of all she stole it from Leona Lewis. Secondly, you think every Beyonce song is popular so no surprise there.

For the service's launch in the United States in July 2011, Spotify had a six-month free ad-supported trial period, where new users could listen to an unlimited amount of music. In January 2012, the free trial started expiring, with users limited to ten hours each month and five song replays.
Spotify didn't EXIST in 2008 or 2009, boo.
So most of the streams come from AFTER Spotify launched. Maybe all those talent shows helped it?

It got 90 million streams in 2016 alone.
I've been saying this for a looooong time. Remember when people here claimed the song was forgotten?
Seriously it's like talking to a wall on this board sometimes.

Did Spotify even exist in 2008-2009? It got 90 million streams in 2016 alone. That is insane for a song that came out 8 years ago. It's probably her most loved song the GP

You do realize most of thoe streams came from 2008-2009 right?
