emmanuel, the number of #1 hits on their debut albums has nothing to do with this thread.
What really makes a song iconic is how it's remembered after a long time, how many people actually bought and/or listened to the music overall and how recognizable it is.
Spending a limited amount of time on some chart's No. 1 position means nothing.
both did amazing 'Complicated' and 'Sk8er Boi' even her third one 'I'm With You' but the biggest according to charts one was def 'Complicated' and it was her first single.
3 consecutive #1 singles on a debut album?
WHO ELSE?? no one.
Christina get close only
I'm not talking about charting position. I'm talking about impact big difference.
"Sk8r Boi" overshadowed "Complicated".
britney. . it spawned a line of other teen pop tarts like Mandy, Jessica, that other one, etc. its look is distinct and people know exactly what you're talking about when you say "the schoolgirl outfit". not only that but it caused controversy. its impact is undeniable.

Crazy In Love Was Ranked In The Top 5 of The Best Songs of the last Decade. #3 song of the decade According to Rolling Stone. Also Crazy In Love is #118 On the 500 Greatest Songs Of All Time According to Rolling Stone.
Also According To Billboard Crazy In Love Topped The Charts solely based on Airplay. It also Made Beyonce The first Female artist to have her single and album simultaneously Reach the top of the charts in America and In the UK. Crazy In Love is still being played today, according to mediabase it still has 8 million audience impressions at radio.
NPR also Named Crazy In Love one of the most important recordings of the last decade.
Also Crazy In Love had everyone going "Uh Oh" dance Crazy.
and FYI "Work It Out" was for a soundtrack to her movie. It was not from her Debut album. She didn't even start recording her album until after that song. But it was a top ten hit in the UK so that counts for something i guess.
IMO CIL & BOMT are Neck and Neck when it comes to Cultural Impact and Critical Acclaim.

I Didn't Try, I DID! Where is BOMT on Rolling stones List of Greatest songs of ALL TIME? Did BOMT top any 90's decade-end lists? What about it's airplay....8 years later CIL still has 8 million audience impressions? What about BOMT? i'll wait....
