Sis, it won R&B Song of the Year at the Grammy's. It's the definition of a crossover R&B smash.
In today's culture, Single Ladies is still looked to and noted, all around the world. Just because the song didn't hit #1 in over 400 countries, doesn't mean the song is any less iconic.
Okay fine, they may be somewhat well known but there's no way it's more iconic than the single that kickstarted bubblegum pop on the verge of the millennium and help Britney get the highest selling debut album ever.
All it takes is a Catholic girl's uniform and people will get you're Britney Spears from BOMT.
And since Halloween is coming up...you don't see people dressing up in leotards and saying they're a single lady. But you have seen many many people, both girls and guys alike, dressing up in a Catholic girl's uniform and is instantly recognized as Britney. BOMT is much more memorable than SL. IMPACT.
This video of KPop superstar PSY performing the world famous Single Ladies dance by Beyonce was posted way back in 2011, but has only gone viral now after Gangnam Style launched the South Korean performer into the spot light.
I don't understand the whole 'hand gesture' argument. Bey sweeping her hand upwards isn't iconic; if I did that to my Mum (moderate Bey stan) she'd have no clue.
To follow the trend: the hand movement is only iconic on ATRL (where most people have seen it 5-10+ times).
So what is Britney's signature/iconic move from the BOMT video then?
This is actually iconic, whether or not your mom/ATRL chooses to acknowledge it.
I never saw someone do this in Germany or even heard someone name/sing the song here.
Even If I Were A Boy is more iconic and rememberd than SL here.
Well SL didnt even chart here.
