It'd say the top 10 11 are 1) ...Baby One More Time 2) Toxic 3) Oops!...I Did It Again 4) Slave 4 U 5) Gimme More 6) Womanizer 7) Stronger 8) Work Bitch 9) Me Against the Music 10) Till The World Ends 11) Sometimes

I Did It Again I'm a Slave 4 U Toxic Everytime Gimme More Womanizer Work Bitch 'Scream & Shout' too but I assume we're just talking about Britney's own singles. It can be hard to be objective about these things but, putting my mind into the point of view of someone who has no interest in Britney, those are the songs I feel they'll be aware of and recognise as Britney songs. 'Baby', 'Oops' and 'Toxic' are unquestionable and would make up her Top 3 most iconic/significant; 'Slave' and 'Womanizer' were huge and are significant moments in her career; 'Gimme More' and 'Work Bitch' have big hooks and I've seen first hand how people of all music tastes and demographic recognise them. 'Everytime' is one I'm more unsure about - I don't know if I was letting my personal experience cloud my judgement, but I feel most people remember Britney drowning in a bath and many think that "every time" is one word because of the song.

Till The World Ends was huge but only huge in America so I'd swap those. I still think Sometimes is one of the most instantly recognizable in the UK though!

Maybe that's just my personal experience, but I know I heard '(You Drive Me) Crazy' for instance a lot as a kid in the early 00s whereas 'Sometimes' was only one I was aware of by going through her videos on the internet.

Much bigger hit worldwide and still well known today I dont think WB would be in the top10 at all as far as general public goes. Its very much a Britney fandom thing This post has been edited by Euphorique: Oct 26 2017, 01:07 PM

It was kind of a blink and you miss it hit that came and went very quickly in the UK. In the Britney community it's iconic but I wouldn't say the general public would name that song. 1. "Hit me baby one more time" 2. Toxic 3. Oops I did it again 4. Slave for you or "the one when she went all slutty" / Womanizer 6. "That one she did with Madonna" I think that is what the general British public would say as in casual fans or non-fans .

Not only for the "It's Britney Bitch" line, but because whenever I talk to people at work about her, they seem to always sing the chorus back to me! (These are people who aren't really fans)

It’s definitely iconic just for the sake of it being the creation of “Its Britney, bitch”. 1. Baby One More Time 2. Oops... I Did It Again 3. Toxic 4. I’m A Slave 4 U 5. Womanizer 6. (You Drive Me) Crazy 7. Gimme More 8. Work Bitch 9. Lucky 10. Till The World Ends I’d say the top 6 are definitely WW classics tho

It might seem like that on the surface, but it's trickle sold lots since then which indicates it seems to have become a well-remembered track over time.
