If you have to ask then you don't deserve an explanation.

Regarding the bolded statement - 'Baby' by Justin Bieber disagree's.
Regarding the other statement - Maybe Toxic didn't go viral because we weren't in the digital age back then. But it was a huge video. So you can stop.

Bad Romance is iconic. It was the first time I can remember regular people (AKA non internet stans) heavily discussing an artist IRL. Like, actual people were interested in Gaga... she transcended pop music forums with that video.

Toxic is memorable too, though. That was just a while ago. I think Bad Romance is too recent. People saying they never hear Gaga's song on the radio, though...
What stations are you listening to? I almost hear it more often than her Born This Way singles.

Just give it up. It's sure to be iconic.

Both are iconic. bye

Both are very iconic and had lots of impact on the industry.

Are people actually saying BR isn't iconic based on the fact that their local radio station hardly plays it anymore?
7 VMA's, 500 million views, acclaim, the RAH RAH AH, it is probably Gaga's most iconic music video and maybe her biggest signature hit after PF.

But Baby came out months after BR
The original viral video was probably BR or Single Ladies
