No shade but checking the positions of Hollaback girl outside US it was definately inferior than both "Dirrty" and "Slave" internationally / Globally.
About LAMB having more impact? It was a great pop album but nothing more really I doubt people will remember any of its songs or there's a pop legacy in the way songs produced during Stripped / ITZ eras like "Beautiful" and "Toxic" are.

Fergie was inspired by Gwen A LOT, I remember she was accused many times of copying her (style)
Imo, LAMB is as urban as ITZ, they're both still very pop-y tho (haven't heard Stripped). And yes Gwen was more successful on the radio but let's not forget Britney was blacklisted from it (not degrading Gwen's success by saying that, that's why Britney wasn't that successful with her singles)
ITZ is not really urban except for Outrageous but that song never happened and the point is that neither of them had an urban hit.
And yes I mean Fergie's look was basically the same look Gwen had while she was promoting LAMB.

If your gonna research at least do the job right
2003
Me against the music - 2.608.000 points
2004
Me against the music - 2.752.000 points
Total: 5.360.000 points
And that was actually ITZ's least successful single
if she puts in some effort she can slay. i'm pretty sure Gwen was most people's original faves when she was at her high point. No Doubt is pretty much done at this point so i don't see why she can't try a solo comeback again. i think Nelly Furtado has proven though that you actually have to put in effort to have a successful comeback after being absent for so long.
False , "(I got that) Boom boom" , "Early Mornin" , "Outrageous" , "The hook up" and "The answer" were pop-urban while the only pop-urban song on LAMB was "Hollaback girl"

Funny but "Hollaback Girl" still the one with most impact + crossover success and "Luxurious" exist.
Stop.

Can't argue about Xtina though

As already listed, (I Got That) Boom Boom, Early Morning and the two "The" songs was also very pop-urban oriented just like Outrageous.
On LAMB what was besides Hollaback Girl and Luxurious urban-ish? Could Rich Girl count?

The answer wasn't even in normal version
And none of them were released as a single so it doesn't matter

I know they weren't released , my point was that "In the zone" as an album explored and experimented way more with urban than LAMB. And those weren't the only ones , because even "Showdown" and MATM also have a slight hip hop / rhytmic influence but I won't count those
I don't really see the point of comparing Gwen to Nelly Furtado I don't think a solo comeback would do phenomenally, but there's no way in HELL it would flop like TSI. Gwen is a legitimate celebrity and has been since 1995. Nelly Furtado, on the other hand...
It would be literally impossible for Gwen to sell 5k like that She would at least do decently.

... and helped open those urban "doors" for other pop girls

But they didn't had an impact on radio or the GP
thats the whole point of this.

Gwen has done an excellent job keeping herself relevant. She could potentially come back any time she wants, especially since she is ageless. People underestimate the amount of Gwen fans that still exist, they are/were just inactive because she was.
