Foi o único single de Lauryn Hill a chegar ao topo da Billboard Hot 100, sendo a primeira música de hip‑hop de um soloista feminino a debutar em primeiro lugar.
A faixa tornou‑se a primeira música escrita, produzida e gravada por uma única mulher a alcançar o número um nos EUA desde “Lost in Your Eyes” de Debbie Gibson, em 1989.
O videoclipe venceu quatro prêmios no MTV Video Music Awards de 1999, incluindo Video of the Year, marcando a primeira vez que um rapper recebeu o grande prêmio.
Com mais de 50 milhões de ouvintes na rádio, “Doo Wop (That Thing)” estabeleceu o recorde de audiência para um single de hip‑hop na época.
Foi reconhecida como “Melhor Single do Ano” pela Rolling Stone, ganhou dois Grammys (Melhor Performance Vocal R&B Feminina e Melhor Música R&B) e foi incluída nas listas de “Songs of the Century” da RIAA, “300 Mais Importantes” da NPR e “500 Greatest Songs of All Time” da Rolling Stone.
