If Britney had never came out in 1998 and was 16 years old now and released Baby One More Time would it be a hit, have the same impact it did in the 90's, or totally flop? Carly Rae Jepsen has had big success with Call Me Maybe which I could imagine being from the late 90's so idk.

[Duca]

Yes, but nowhere nearly as big of a hit as it was in 1999.

[BlaBlaBla]

With same promo and same Britney, yes. The song would be as big as Call Me Maybe (probably bigger). Not sure how far Britney herself would go. Right now we have so many solo females starts, back then Britney was basically the first of the kind in a very very long time that's why she took the world by storm.

[Fantasy]

Yes, it's catchiness is undeniable. Also teen pop seems to be making somewhat of a comeback with Carly Rae Jepsen, One Direction and others ruling the charts.

[Dr.Cake]

I don't think so.

[Georges]

Nah

[YoYo]

No, sound is too outdated.

Slave is the only song I can see becoming a hit from her 1st 3 albums

[Jabril]

Probably not. It's so 90s.

[Meredy]

I think so.

[Gui Blackout]

Baby One More Time would not exist in 2012.

[VAN deity]

No. It screams late 90's R&B. I think it would be DOA. I also think she'd be ridiculed for it. It doesn't sound like a song a 30 year old sings.

[Right Now]

With an updated sound yes.

[Michete]

The entire landscape of pop music could be drastically different if Britney had never happened, so it's impossible to tell.

[Nippy'sReceipts]

considering the line ''hit me baby one more time'', the song befits rihanna for the current day

[BabyCantYouSee]

Yes, but it'd be a hit like Call Me Maybe probably. Nothing bigger than that. But if 2001-2004ney were to be out right now, I'm pretty sure she'd be #1 right now or tied with Gaga.

[vuelve88]

Nobody in their right mind would create "Baby One More Time" in 2012. Its sound is very specific to the time in which it was released.

It wouldn't be successful in 2012.
