Criminal Vs Overprotected

[comeback kid]

Though neither were Top 40 hits - I feel both are considered “hits” in her catalog. “Criminal” is massive on Tik Tok while “Overprotected” was all over MTV etc during the early 00s (and released during her prime )  

 

I feel like Gen Z knows “Criminal” more while millennials are more familiar with  “Overprotected”. 
 

Sound off! What Britney single is the bigger of the two
