...Baby One More Time - 695M streams

 

[Hector]

It's Wannabe. It'd be eligible for 6-7x Platinum in the US if their certifications were ever updated.

Wannabe - 965M + 629M = 1.594B

BOMT - 695M + 874M = 1.569B

 

So Wannabe is bigger 

[CandleGuy]

Both absolutely iconic tbh

[Miichael]

Both are huge and probably the two most iconic pop songs from the 90's, but BOMT has the more iconic and memorable music video so it has the edge.

[Punky Rooster]

Both are obviously massive, but Wannabe was a cultural reset 

[Shelter]

This thread is made every year. It’s Wannabe, but BOMT is huge too.

Everyone can identify Baby one more time from the first 2 seconds played. Also it has an iconic video.

[The Man Who]

I feel like they’re both as big as each other. I’m not sure how you could ever decide which one is the biggest as they’re both so iconic and well known. 

[Nightingale]

Wannabe. Mostly because Britney had other signature songs but the Spice Girls’ main song is Wannabe so it gets all the attention

[Fleahive]

Atrl keeps exposing fraudulent success. First they exposed crazy in love as a flop now bomt as a flop. Spice girls really did that huh? I didn’t know people streamed that song like that in 2023

[Orsay]

BOMT video is definitely more iconic and well-known

[Erreur2 La Nature]

Both are among the biggest songs of all time lol but BOMT definitely takes it.

[adylovestaylorandjb]

Bomt because britney success wasnt just for one era and maintained it in long run. Not only that, she brought back solo artist at top again at peak of teen pop groups

Plus Wannabe had a far better chart run, spending 4 weeks at #1 on the Hot 100.

[naval23]

BOMT easily, it went #1 in every country it charted in and broke a Guinness World Record for that

 

It was #5 on Billboard's Year-End and #3 on Europe's year-end

 

Britney has so many classics so it makes sense BOMT isn't her most streamed, while Spice Girls main classic is Wannabe

 

[ninetales]

Wannabe is the bigger song by five strands of hair.

 

 

[holyground13]

That's a tough one

 

BOMT includes more iconography, but Wannabe is the type of song that everyone BELTS when it's played. Both are classics.

[Mystic Boy]

Not a 1996 song nearly crossing the billion mark, i knew the recurrent streams were good but wasnt expecting that 

Numbers dont lie,it's Wannabe.

[needs]

BOMT is the definition of a classic.

I was about to say. Atrl with revisionism of older hits because of Spotify as usual
