== Pop not R&B (read the whole thing) ==


The song's genre has been the target of edit-warring activity. Let's take a look at what the published sources say about the song:
http://stereogum.com/826992/vh1-100-greatest-songs-of-the-00s/top-stories/lead-story/
*[https://www.vogue.fr/fashion-culture/article/beyonce-fun-facts-crazy-in-love-hit-song Vogue France said] the song has the following "influences", not overall song genre: "Retro funk, R’n’B, dance-pop, rap verse..."

*[https://www.theguardian.com/music/2020/may/15/greatest-uk-no-1s-ever-beyonce-crazy-in-love The Guardian UK presents] the song as pop.
*[https://www.nme.com/blogs/nme-blogs/beyonce-crazy-in-love-best-song-why-2316762 NME presents] the song as pop.
*[https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-news/beyonce-is-crazy-in-love-on-fifty-shades-of-grey-remix-91812/ Rolling Stone said] the song was pop.


Aside from ''Vogue'' who name influences but not the song's genre, the sources are in agreement that the song is pop. [[User:Binksternet|Binksternet]] ([[User talk:Binksternet|talk]]) 03:57, 4 October 2021 (UTC)

* [[:Crazy in Love (Beyoncé song)]] → {{no redirect|Crazy in Love}}
* [[:Crazy in Love]] → {{no redirect|Crazy in Love (disambiguation)}}
– The Beyoncé song is the primary topic. Its article received [http://stats.grok.se/en/latest90/Crazy%20in%20Love%20(Beyoncé%20song) 37,000 views] in the last 90 days – nearly 5 times as many views as all of the other [[Crazy in Love]] articles combined. (The factor increases to nearly 19 when [[Mozart and the Whale]], a film known only in select territories as ''Crazy in Love'', and [[Crazy In Love (Will & Grace)]], a redirect with negligible views, are excluded.) –'''''[[User:Chasewc91|Chase]]''''' ([[User talk:Chasewc91|talk]] / [[Special:Contributions/Chasewc91|contribs]]) 06:06, 17 December 2014 (UTC)
*'''Oppose''' per [[WP:Naming conventions (music)]]. If we were running a pop chart where the prize was deleting <s>Beyonce</s>, <s>Lady Gaga</s>, and a few others from all their songs then page views might make sense - but modern pop songs and albums typically (as in this case) have notability and recognizability derived from their artist, not vice versa, removing the artist isn't just unfair to the half dozen other songs: "Crazy in Love", a single by [[The Ike-Ettes]], written Ike Turner 1963, [[Crazy in Love (Jill Johnson song)]], Sjoberg, 2003, [[Crazy in Love (Kim Carnes song)]], Even Stevens, Randy McCormick 1988, also recorded by Conway Twitty and Kenny Rogers, (plus songs by Eminem on [[Encore (Eminem album)]] 2004 by [[Dorothy Moore]] 1980 and [[Louisiana's Le Roux]] 1978) and four TV/film items, it's also frustrating Beyonce fans who are looking for (Beyonce song) [[User:In ictu oculi|In ictu oculi]] ([[User talk:In ictu oculi|talk]]) 08:39, 17 December 2014 (UTC)
*'''Support''' per [[WP:PRIMARYTOPIC]] and [[WP:SONGDAB]]. The nom has shown pretty conclusively that the Beyoncé song satisfies the first half of [[WP:PRIMARYTOPIC]] hands down - it is much more likely than all other uses combined to be the topic sought when a reader searches for "Crazy in Love". It also has more historical significance, as evidenced by Google Books results:

:Only at WP would we send readers to a dab page in the face of convincing evidence that people searching for "Crazy in Love" are overwhelmingly looking for the Beyoncé song. [[User:Dohn joe|Dohn joe]] ([[User talk:Dohn joe|talk]]) 15:03, 17 December 2014 (UTC)
::It isn't only Wikipedia, Allmusic and other websites also give the artist name. Again [[WP:Naming conventions (music)]] recommends the artist name where there are multiple songs. And again for readers searching for "the <u>Beyoncé song</u>" then titling it (Beyoncé song) helps readers. On my mobile "crazy in" autocompletes with [[Crazy in Love (Beyoncé song)]] followed by [[Crazy in Alabama]]. If I have a good connection and images switched on the thumbnail is what tells me what the article is. But what if I don't? (Beyoncé song) helps those looking for the song and those not, removing it helps no one. Likewise if I can't remember it This is how songs by artists differ from [[Paris]] vs [[Paris, Texas]] type primary topic comparisons. [[User:In ictu oculi|In ictu oculi]] ([[User talk:In ictu oculi|talk]]) 18:55, 17 December 2014 (UTC)
:::Many people will not use the autocomplete, though - some will simply type "Crazy in Love" straight into the search bar if that's what they're looking for. And when the stats show that readers looking for "Crazy in Love" are overwhelmingly looking for the Beyoncé song, that is what we should point them towards, with a hatnote at the top for the minority of readers looking for something else. "Crazy in Love (Beyoncé song)" would, of course, remain as a redirect.

:::[[WP:Naming conventions (music)]]'s disambiguation recommendations are moot when there is clearly a primary topic, as there is here. You would have a point if the suggestion was to move the article to "Crazy in Love (song)". –'''''[[User:Chasewc91|Chase]]''''' ([[User talk:Chasewc91|talk]] / [[Special:Contributions/Chasewc91|contribs]]) 19:23, 17 December 2014 (UTC)

::::::Nice dodge, {{User|Dicklyon}}, shifting plural references like "readers betters served" and "the large majority" to the singular, "the reader".

*'''Oppose.''' Several reasons.
# The “Kim Carnes” song of the same name has been recorded by [[Joe Cocker]], [[Conway Twitty]], [[Kim Carnes]], [[Kenny Rogers]] and [[Julio Iglesias]] and has charted on three different occasions with three different artists. If WP had been around in 1988 or 1990 there would have a proposal to make this song the “primary topic”
#At ASCAP, there are 60 plus songs with the same name, of which over half have a listed performer. This proves beyond reasonable doubt that the title is generic and in all likelihood another song will come along which, according to the number crunchers and blind fandom, should become “primary topic”
#[[WP:PRIMARYTOPIC]] says, inter alia, “A topic is primary for a term, with respect to long-term significance, if it has substantially greater enduring notability and educational value than any other topic associated with that term. My two points above clearly establishes that one song cannot be reasonably expected to have long-term significance.
#[[WP:STABILITY]], This is such a generic song title, there cannot be stability if we wish to move the latest song to prime position, merely because it is the latest.
#Stability. Again. This article has been at the present location since March 2009. That’s stable. Doesn’t need to be moved.
#I also point out that unlike the Kim Carnes song, this song is only known for the performance by Ms. Knowles. Why should we even be having this discussion? Is WP embarrassed by the delectable Ms. Knowles?

::*[[User:Chasewc91|Chase]]. I, as endorsed by [[WP:SONGDAB]], believe that primary topic is destructive and irrelevant to song titles.

:::*SONGDAB clearly says only to use disambiguation "when necessary". Plenty of evidence has been provided by myself and Dohn joe that suggests it's not necessary here. PTOPIC also says, "Although a word, name or phrase may refer to more than one topic, it is sometimes the case that one of these topics is the primary topic. This is the topic to which the term should lead." So while this is not the only "Crazy in Love" term, the fact that people read the Beyoncé song article 5x more than the other terms combined says a lot, and keeping this article disambiguated is a disservice to readers. The odds are very likely that anyone looking for "Crazy in Love" is looking for Beyoncé's song, and putting them through a dab page to get there is just a plain inconvenience. –'''''[[User:Chasewc91|Chase]]''''' ([[User talk:Chasewc91|talk]] / [[Special:Contributions/Chasewc91|contribs]]) 23:07, 18 December 2014 (UTC)

*'''Oppose'''. Way too many "Crazy in Love"s, both songs and not songs.

***No. I have given reasons that are not JDLI. And WP:PRIMARYTOPIC does not say blindly follow page view stats. The pageview stats don't reflect quantitative likelihood to be searched for because they don't detect multiple hits from the same device (a propensity of modern hand held devices to not cache) and they don't detect hits on mirrors. So there is doubt, and there is good reason to doubt as the title is an well known idiom, and there are so many unrelated notable alternatives not favoured by a narrow current pop culture. --[[User:SmokeyJoe|SmokeyJoe]] ([[User talk:SmokeyJoe|talk]]) 10:45, 20 December 2014 (UTC)
****You seem to be saying that you believe that since "the title is a well known idiom" many more people are searching for the idiom than statistics indicate because the methods driving the stats don't filter out repeated queries by the same person, which is far more likely for popular song names than for idioms. That argument is pure conjecture. We don't even have an article about the idiom. The popularity of this decade-old song is not a temporary blip in history. If it's usage fades in the coming decades, we can always adjust. But for now, and the foreseeable future, when people search for "crazy in love", the vast majority are looking for this song. Whether we like it or not is irrelevant. --[[User:Born2cycle|В²C]] [[User_talk:Born2cycle#top|☎]] 17:11, 21 December 2014 (UTC)

The three you have moved by adding the artist's name are [[The Beat Goes On]], [[And the Beat Goes On]], [[Beat Goes On]].The fourth was already at [[The Beat Goes On (Beady Eye song)]]. As the name is slightly different for the 2nd and 3rd title there was no practical reason to add the disambiguation.

== Yahoo! source ==
[https://web.archive.org/web/20121011102748/http://music.yahoo.com/blogs/yradish/biggest-selling-singles-since-the-year-2000.html This source] is unreal. Is from a blog and from a Yahoo's user. So, the claim of 5 million copies or be "one of the best-selling singles" is unreal, at least for this song (and many others). I tried to find a better source, but is impossible. And after 2009, most of the references are probably primary sources. So, I will delete that, but before I want to notify on this talk page or if somebody can help find other (not primary source, please).

[edit]

The song's genre has been the target of edit-warring activity. Let's take a look at what the published sources say about the song:

Aside from Vogue who name influences but not the song's genre, the sources are in agreement that the song is pop. Binksternet (talk) 03:57, 4 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
