However, there are threads like this (from 2016, btw) which
really showcase ATRL's delusion re: Britney being 'sooyyyy iconiqueee thoooo!!!':

Then there's this thread re:
Blackout being iconic (two personal attacks on the first page alone):

The answer is the Army.
They think
Blackout is this mega iconic and highly influential album when it's faaaar from it.
It's on the same level of critical acclaim as
ARTPOP and
PRISM, didn't hit #1 in any major market, wasn't one of the top 40 highest selling albums worldwide of 2007 or of 2008 (for perspective:
4 was top 10 of 2011,
ARTPOP was top 25 of 2013), it had only one top 10 single on the Hot 100. Its one and only

hit

, 'Gimme More', stayed in the top 10 for just three weeks (for perspective: 'Applause' was there for 14 weeks: almost five times more longevity).
