Lol it is the pop song that's had like the biggest impact on pop culture in fair amount of time.
It won't be forgotten, even if Carly inevitably ends up a one-and-a-half hit wonder.
I agree.
The song itself is bigger than Carly's name though. No one is talking about Carly, just the song. Baby One More Time had the video and Britney herself attached to the song more than CMM does, if that makes sense.
I just told so many lies in this thread. I'm not even being sarcastic but I really feel like the song is going to be iconic after seeing the Chat Roulette video. It's so beloved among everybody and even if it annoys you that song just oozes of joy and euphoria lol. Undeniable.
How is it not her debut single? Don't even try to count her previous album, she wasn't even remotely on a large record label. This is her first debut single on a major record label.
Even at a party I went to last night, one guy was like "OMG did you see the ChatRoulette video, that song is just massive, there hasn't been a song that massive in a really long time". Even non-stans know the impact of this song. C'mon, name a hit in the last five years thats as big as CMM. I really can't name one....
call me maybe will stay as a huge hit of 2012 but don't think it will get the same hype as baby one more time had since back then it wasn't just the song but the video that still makes the list on several best music videos charts... bomt was a hit debut single and sassy music video from a teenage girl. Carly's video is funny but not as memorable as bomt was.

+1 exactly what i came here to say. carly rae is being overshadowed by her own song, the average person doesnt even know who sings the song, they just know it. while britney spears became a household name with bomt.
Death at all of you saying "Britney became a household name" with BOMT. We're half of you even born when that song came out Lot's of twelve year olds signing up lately.
Her debut single was released in 2008 and it tanked.
To answer the question, option #3, I guess.
Her official first single Tug Of War hit Top 40 in Canada. You can't say she "tanked" when she wasn't even on a major record label. Her first record label was local as hell.

i was in middle school during the pop explosion! backsteet boys, nsync, britney spears were on top of the world!
Even if Call Me Maybe spent more weeks at #1, it doesn't feel as big to me as Baby One More Time was.
Carly just doesn't have that special 'it' factor that Britney had.
Soon she'll be forgotten.
This is so disrespectful. I mean Kesha's tik tok was the most played song of the year and was #1 for 9 weeks or something. Doesn't make it BOMT iconic material. Katy perry hit with I kissed a girl...
Call me maybe is a cute song but let's not place it in the phenomenon category that is BOMT.
No.
Personally, i hate the song and find it annoying. It's the next 'Baby'. People love it for a while and then it continues on for a few more years as a joke.

So you refuted your own point. Her first official single was Tug of War, not CMM, thus, she is already disqualified for the song being BOMT's successor.
