Is Work ***** bigger than HIAM?

[Guest Edge Of Clockin' You]

It seems that WB is bigger nowadays despite being considered a flop (even tho I'm The One debuted at #1 selling less than WB and including streams which WB didn't) so it's nor really flop and managed to get some longevity. Don't vote based on ur favorite but on the one that is bigger. Like for example Circus peaked higher that Toxic while Toxic is way bigger nowadays.

I like Hold It Against Me better but I think Work ***** is the bigger hit so  I mean I wasn't a Britney fan when Work ***** was released but I remember the song being talked about. So the gp knows it.

HIAM had the better chart peak and hype but WB had more longevity.

[pablitonizer]

It is imo! Both songs are so different and if you ask me I fell in love with HIAM the moment I heard it, however WB took me a while to grow on me  

 

But Work ***** phrase helped a lot to become popular. it's short, effective and something Britney would say 

[Anti-Hero]

It’s interestimg, HIAM went #1 in 8 countries but I feel like it had barely any impact. Till The World Ends had more impact. 

But to answer your question, I don’t think anyone outside the fanbase remembers either song tbh

No I know people who aren't Britney fans who know HIAM and WB. HIAM didn't have a lot of impact but WB ended unemployment and obesity

It seems like WB is definitely more memorable. I feel like nobody knows that HIAM exists anymore 

[MakeMeFweaky]

Everybody knows work *****. One of her last biggest hits. Work ***** and Toxic both prove that a #1 hit means nothing. Plus I always got HIAM and TTWE mixed up, so I always thought she only made one song.

[prettylittleliar_2214]

HIAM is bigger in sales but WB made an actual impact because:

1. Britney looked way more present in the video

2. the next singles outshined HIAM i.e. I Wanna Go and TTWE

3.  Britney never performs HIAM

Britney was coming off a big era with Femme Fatale and people were shocked with her lack of dancing and overall attitude during the era. I think people were turned off by the HIAM video and the ones who didn't like it ended up loving TTWE. WB is one of her signature songs and it just shows what good visuals do for a song. 

[HeavenOnExhale]

I know quite a few people actually who aren't big Britney fans that know BOTH HIAM and Work B.

I think Work B has had the longevity because of Vegas for the past 4 years and agreed with some of the users above she was way more present in the music video than she was in HIAM.

It only seems bigger because Britney performs it everyday, but HIAM is the better song and is ultimately bigger and sold more.

HIAM is wau better than WB the problem is she did more for WB than to HIAM. i still hate how they wasted the Grammys and let the song die

[Wouszz]

they are both pure perfection

Work ***** was considered a flop in 2013

However after all the (late) promo it got in 2016 it's actually considered a hit now

maybe in the next era we can consider Slumber Party a hit too 

[Roger]

Literally no one remembers Hold It Against Me; it never gets referenced, it is never performed, it is never used whenever a Britney interview / video comes out...

Meanwhile Work ***** is still being played in parties and clubs 4 years after its release; It is one of her signature hit

My friends know Work ***** because it came on at the club and two of my friends were singing the lyrics. Not the case with HIAM though

[Pretty Boy]

I'd say Work ***** is much more well known among the GP. Not that I care what the GP thinks, but still.

[vdez83]

HIAM to me was a major hit.  Because of that song, dubstep made its way in to the mainstream.  She set a new trend for popular music.

WB is a hit because it gave us another iconic Britney phrase..... "You better work *****" became the new "It's Britney *****..."
