"Happy" clearly has the better sales and was a more successful single especially worldwide but I feel like when we look back a year from now 2014 will remind a lot of people of "Fancy" by Iggy. Do you think "Fancy" is the biggest song released this year and will be more remembered?
It's not bigger sadly, but you're absolutely right, it will be more remembered. It's just more special. The fact that Happy is a throwback song and doesn't represent any fresh 2014 sound seals the deal.
Fancy is the one that everyone loves but Happy was bigger. Everyone hates Happy now and it got annoying quick whereas Fancy will likely be a classic that people go back to.
No. Happy will be iconic for the video, the viral sensation and Pharrell's biggest hit. Iggy can have a bigger hit this year and Fancy can be quickly forgotten.
For people in high-school and college, yes. Happy was a song that everyone could enjoy (little kids to adults) which will make it more remembered on a broader scale.
"Happy" is by far the biggest song this year, statistically and impact wise. "Fancy" only seems bigger to you because "Happy" has died down and "Fancy" is still fresh, but "Fancy" has yet to reached the amount of power "Happy" has met on all borders of the world.
