Other than its impact on British weather, what impact did Umbrella have on music?

It didn't even have impact on the weather

Sis, I was responding to someone who incorrectly guessed that "Umbrella" was more covered than "Toxic."

"Toxic" was a dance-pop song popular when only R&B songs were popular. "Umbrella" was an R&B/pop song popular when R&B/pop was popular. One of these was actually out of left field and the other was a typical single.
List of #1 singles in 2004
"Hey Ya" - Outkast
"The Way You Move" - Outkast
"Slow Jamz" - Twista
"Yeah!" - Usher
"Burn" - Usher
"I Believe" - Fantasia
"Confessions Part II" - Usher
"Slow Motion" - Juvenile
"Lean Back" - Terror Squad
"Goodies" - Ciara
"My Boo" - Usher
"Drop It Like It's Hot" - Snoop Dogg
You can't even lie and say "Toxic's" sound was remotely popular at the time of its release.
List of #1 singles in 2007
"Irreplaceable" - Beyonce
"Say It Right" - Nelly Furtado
"What Goes Around...Comes Around" - Justin Timberlake
"This Is Why I'm Hot" - Mims
"Glamorous" - Fergie
"Don't Matter" - Akon
"Give It To Me" - Timbaland
"Girlfriend" - Avril Lavigne
"Makes Me Wonder" - Maroon 5
"Umbrella" - Rihanna
"Hey There Delilah" - Plain White T's
"Beautiful Girls" - Sean Kingston
"Big Girls Don't Cry" - Fergie
"Crank That" - Soulja Boy
"Stronger" - Kanye West
"Kiss Kiss" - Chris Brown
"No One" - Alicia Keys
Can you even say "Umbrella" was a new sound when the #1 song of 2007, "Irreplaceable," was also R&B/pop. Rihanna's sound wasn't even slightly novel in 2007, so how could she have impact when she was not setting trends? |
Could a Navy member explain this, please? How has "Umbrella" had any impact? Even the "eh, eh" mess was big that year in other songs (see J. Holiday's "Bed)."

This thread is why the army is the most delusional fanbase on atrl  |
The Navy is really getting stupid and burning bridges with the Army. "Umbrella" has 0 impact and to compare it to "Toxic" alone is an insult, but for you all to go out of your way to call us "delusional" and then praise a song WITH 0 IMPACT
The Army is the only fanbase in here actually bringing in receipts.
