It's a remix, not a single I think...

but it got a music video. wouldn't that make it a single? was it released on its own? i don't really remember.

actually if we're considering the music video you are right. boys needs to be higher.

[i sometimes sing live]

1. Overprotected
2. I'm Not a Girl, Not Yet a Woman
3. (Anticipating)
4. I'm a Slave 4 U
5. Overprotected (The Darkchild Remix)
6. Boys (The Co-Ed Remix)
7. Boys (Was the album version even a single? Either way, I prefer the remix only because Pharrell is hot AF.)
8. I Love Rock 'n' Roll

[i sometimes sing live]

IMO, I Love Rock 'n' Roll is such a snoozer, and based on the replies so far, it checks out.

[Dorian Gray]

1. Slave 4 U - too iconic to not be 1st. The song is the only appropriate debut single for the album

2. Overprotected (Darkchild Remix) - Historically my favorite song off the album

3. I’m not a girl, not yet a woman - the song was great for that moment in her career

4. Boys - because of the video

5. I Love Rock n’ Roll - Love her rendition of the song / and the video is a look…. but covers rarely make good singles, including here (imo)

[Frankie8]

Slave

Overprotected Darkchild was the US single

NAG

BOYS Coed remix

 

They are all very much of their time, but Slave def takes the top spot easily. Overprotected remix is a strong 2nd. NAG and Boys are weak songs and I skipped them when listening to the album. The Boys remix video is good until the end when it gets cheesy, but watching the video makes the song kinda tolerable.
