It is about the "era". Which includes singles

this is just pointless. Oops, and lucky are two of some of the biggest hits of my generation. There isn't one single soul that doesn't know those two songs. Oops defined a generation. The album, the hits, the videos, the accessories, etc. were all HUGE pop culture moments.

Remember this in the next 4 discussion.

Nobody in my fellow Beyhive declared 4 as one of the most successful eras of all time. People drag it for not creating a top 10 and call it a complete wreck, which is wrong because a wreck album doesn't sell 3M copies in '10s.

Nobody called Oops! a flop album, it is not one of the most successful eras of all times.

in what world are Oops, Lucky, and Stronger not hits? Everybody knows them. And all three were generation defining hits. I fail to see logic of some people.

For an era to be ''one of the most successful eras of all time'' dominating Hot 100 is a must.

Thriller is one of the most successful eras of all time. True Blue is one of the most successful eras of all time. The Bodyguard Soundtrack is one of the most successful eras of time. Musicbox, Rhythm Nation 1814, 21, Confessions and many others that had both albums + singles success are best successful eras of all times.

Oops... I Did It Again! lacked hits in the US which is the biggest music market in the world. It is a great era which went diamond, that's all. Alanis Morisette's Jagged Little Pill is another example of a similar era.

No, it is not a must. OIDIA had legitimate hits - this much you cannot deny - and so whether they were, in the US only, 10 week #1 smashes or moderate hits (with strong sales support in one case) isn't very important when you look at the big picture. The singles were hits worldwide, album sales were still phenomenal, and the tour was a great success. I think that overall it qualifies as "one of" the most successful eras.

Depends how many eras you think when said "one of the most successful eras". An era like "Oops" comes once in a while.

Hot 100 chart was irrelevant for pop artists then because it was the Airplay 100 and with pop artists only being played on Mainstream radio whereas their competition were being played on Mainstream, Rhythmic, AC and Urban radio. "Oops" spent 3 wks at the top of the Mainstream radio and all her videos were huge on TRL, which defined our generation like the Hot 100 defines this one.

Exactly

Let's just ignore the pressed souls, poll results don't lie. It was huge worldwide.

If you're saying no, I can only think that you aren't old enough to remember this era. It was HUGE. Even though her songs didn't get to #1, they were hits, and the album sales speak for themselves.

Huh? There was nothing funny about that. Unless you're ignorant of the charts during that time, you should know that the things people are claiming didn't happen until 2002-2003, so they can't be used against the Hot 100 in 2000.

Calling the Hot 100 basically an Airplay chart in 2000 is extremely inaccurate. Sales still made a difference then.

"Oops" didn't get a CD single release though. "Oops" was charting completely based on airplay points.
