Obviously? The "Dirrty" outfit is associated with the song which was a huge #1 hit in the UK. Stripped also charted from 2002 to 2005 in the UK.

 

The "Dirrty" outfit was also replicated by actual popstars:

 

 

In addition to celebrities and members of the general public:

 

 

Lastly, "Dirrty" has more streams than IAS4U on Spotify + YouTube combined.

 

So Sam Smith would be correct and white gays fuming on ATRL will not change this fact.

And "Dirrty" has more Spotify streams  the difference in their YouTube music video views is minimal whereas the gap in their Spotify streams is huge:

 

YouTube:

"Dirrty" 161.7M views vs. "IAS4U" 167.8M views

 

Spotify:

"Dirrty" 191M streams vs. "IAS4U" 157.5M streams

 

Overall:

"Dirrty" = 352.7M streams

"IAS4U" = 325.3M streams

It's totally normal he chose Dirrty since the era was HUGE in the UK....

The Britney stans completely losing it over an opinion

[Istan4R]

They also released Unholy, the worst song of all time, so I’m not sure I would trust their opinion on anything but kudos to Xtina for someone remembering her

Nobody but balding gays remembers that Britney outfit. I've only ever seen the Christina one.

They don't look bald.

I don't care enough about comparing the two but something I was always wondering.....

 

No shade to XTina but why exactly did Dirrty stall on the Hot 100 - was it actually confirmed Les Moonves at ClearChannel boycotted or is that just a conspiracy by Fighters?

[EnterTheAttic]

I have NEVER in my lifetime seen that Christina outfit. Before seeing the clip, I thought it was going to be the outfit for the music video. 

 

Everybody and their mother knows about the snake albino snake performance!

Also this outfit is not even Britney's most iconic, there's the school girl one and the red latex jumpsuit. Xtina has NONE other than this lol. 

Lie again.

 

 

[JustThatGreat]

I think definitely in the UK. That MV dominated. 

[xperience30]

No lies detected 

[PoisonPill]

I think there may be a US/UK divide on this one. Dirrty wasn't really a hit in the US, the video made some waves but it certainly isn't remembered by the gp like "Beautiful." 

[A.R.L]

he should've dressed something similar in his last music video, better than that black and white suit that didn't really fit his body. 

[Ombre]

Christina has like 3 iconic outfits while Britney has like 7 or 8. Britney is the most iconic pop star in terms of imagery

Dirrty was sabotaged in the US but the video was still huge. 

[WEEKND]

Expected 

 

his new song is very Xtina influenced 

[Flanders]

The Dirrty video was indeed quite a serve. Not sure which of the two is more iconic, they're both remembered amongst homosexuals

Exactly it peaked at #48 on the Hot 100, but the video was still really talked about there. It stalled at about #14 on pop radio althought stayed in the top 20 there for a while. At this point most artists werent releasing physical singles and eras were radio driven. Had their been a physical single release it would have at least reached top 10. 

[Freakshowvato]

its their opinion.

 

they chose britney's denim tho, when she was against JLo

The Dirrty music video look is iconic, but not as iconic as the snake look from the VMAs performance. Especially, if we want to argue “outside of pop culture”. You are definitely more likely to have random people recognize the picture of Britney with the snake wrapped around her neck than Christina in her Dirrty outfit. However, both are very iconic moments in pop history.

Maybe in the US. UK I’d say otherwise. 
 

I don’t know why Brit fans are mad. It’s just his opinion.

Outside of a small number of gays, no one knows about the snake 

 

Everyone knows the Dirrty outfit

 

Both aren’t known to the GP.

But of course the haters pretended not to see that part.

 

idk if it was already threaded but Megan fox recently paid tribute to deminey

 

ot: both outfits are hot

[UseYourIllusion2002]

Andy Cohen could've compared Madonna's wedding dress to Cyndi's look at the time. 

But damn, that's how Sam Smith looks now?

[RobynYoBank]

Never even seen that outfit tbh

Are you Patrick Star? Have you been living under a rock all these years?

 

 

[Jaay]

This the the gayest thing of all time. Gay men in their 20s/30s arguing on the internet about which outfit from a pop star is more iconic. 
 

From an un biased opinion, in the US, I’d definitely say it’s Britney’s. That doesn’t mean Christina’s isn’t “iconic” but if you put a stuffed toy snake around your neck, anyone in their 20s/30s/ possibly 40s will know who you are.
