Madonna rode off of controversy, many artists do this. However she evolved with her skits musically and image wise. Clearly those skits worked well enough to give her a 30 year-long career and to become the best-selling female artist in music history, and by a wide factor as well.
People emulate both, but Madonna is miles more influential than Britney was and ever will be. And why is Twitter being brought into this? Social media typically represents what's currently hot.
I somewhat see your point, but her breakdown is NOT something people idolize and admire. People find her breakdown more humorous than "interesting". At the end of the day, Madonna is miles more influential than Britney is.

Here is where age really does matter. Because then, you would be getting your information first-hand instead of in hindsight from kii-ing homosexuals on ATRL.
Twitter matters because (maybe you're too young to remember) there existed a time when Twitter wasn't there, and the World only had like 20 TV channels and CNN didn't exist. That was when Madonna and her career began. She could be controversial every few weeks, and then leave the public alone to savor what she just did and want some more.
The Internet changed all of that. And when Britney had her meltdown and spawned sites like TMZ, Perez Hilton, x17, etc to monitor and gossip on celebs 24/7, it changed even more.
That's why Britney's impact to celebrity culture, and also by rule pop culture, has been so huge. Internet existed since the late 1980s, but Internet Fueled Celebrity Culture didn't truly take off until 2005 (slowly), 2006 (rapidly), and 2007 (breakneck speeds). And in all of those years, Britney Spears was the most searched women/person on the Internet.
And today, we have things like Twitter, Social Media on Billboard, etc to tell us who people are checking for online.
