What's the GP's status on "Not A Girl, Not Yet A Woman"?

[forefortifive]

The song only charted on the Bubbling Under. By all accounts, it'a flop.

 

But even to this day, I still see pop cultural references to this song and it has 78 Million views on youtube.

 

So, does the GP know of this song?

[troubleguy]

it is one of iconic songs that GP remembers, but due to radio ban i guess it didn;t do well on charts..

its her def one of best ballads tbh

You just answered your own question.

[MakeMeFweaky]

People saw crossroads I guess and they know the song

[celebration2009]

It's not entirely forgotten, not yet a classic.

[Mr_Steven_Spears]

It was a hit in the uk and Europe. 

 

But it’s a dated song and think it would be awkward to perform now  

[BabyOneMoreTime.]

If you grew up in the early 2000's then you DEFINITELY know this song

 

I would say people ages 20-30 100% are familiar with this

[singularbritney]

Charted extremely well here in the UK. So, okay I suppose?

[Applejack]

It was under the radio ban so it's a miracle it even charted. It's well known because of Crossroads and 2001 Britney was everywhere.

[prettylittleliar_2214]

It's considered a Britney classic I would say not in the same vein as Toxic and BOMT but more like Lucky in the sense that it showed a different side to Britney. 

[DollyParton]

I think its her most performed song. 

[Iexpectyouto]

the other day, me and the vice principal at my school got into an argument over Britney having more impact than Beyoncé, and he's been tainting me with little Britney references ever since. The other day he came in my class cause he's friends with the teacher and made an INAGNYAW reference, and me and my teacher got it, but literally none of the other students did. 

So id say it's a hit with the people that grew up with her. Not older people, not younger people.

It did well internationally at the time but I think most of the GP have forgotten it tbh.

What were his arguments though? I can name 10+ new popstars (male and female) who have cited Britney as an actual musical influence... Beyonce? Correct me if I’m wrong but Beyonce’s impact is outside of that realm. It’s more having to do with concepts.

[Guest Brichney.]

Flop? No, hunty. It was a decent global hit! Number 2 in Europe. It wasn't a major hit, tho, but definitely not a flop. The album sold well, though.

Her vocals are flawless on that song!

Nothing, mostly he would just say inflammatory stuff like "crazy in love is better than toxic, single ladies is better than womanizer" and stuff like that. He told me later he agreed with me the whole time and just wanted to mess with me lol. I think he said something about bey's record sales being comparable to brit's because of the dip in album sales after downloading became a thing.

Personal opinions, bye.

Even with sales, it’s different. B eats Bey in albums. Singles it’s probably even? Probably with a bigger edge towards B. Bey is a bigger touring force though.

[Dripping For Britney]

Honestly 10 year old me belted those lyrics out of the window of my dads car everywhere we went so I think it's very well known

[SlayOut]

People are scared to listen because they know deep down they’d be wigless upon first listen!
