History YMMV / Haim

** They're more popular in the UK and Australia than at home in the United States, where they're still generally relegated to college radio.

* WinBackTheCrowd: ''Something to Tell You'' underwhelmed audiences and critics alike, with some suggesting that Haim was a OneHitWonder that would never escape [[FirstInstallmentWins the shadow of their debut album]]. Not only did ''Women in Music Part III'' refute this idea and allow them to recapture the public's interest, it won newfound respect from critics that had previously eluded them. It is their best reviewed album to date and their first to receive consideration from the Grammys.[[note]]They lost the Grammy Award for Best New Artist to Music/SamSmith in 2015.[[/note]]

** They're pretty popular in Brazil, where during their most recent tour they played to the kinds of crowds they otherwise only see when Music/TaylorSwift is on the playbill.

** In the music video for "My Song 5", which is a homage to 1990s Trash TV talk shows, Este appears as guest who confesses her sexual attraction to mimes.

** “Haim invented walking.” This is due to the fact that starting with the music video for ''Want You Back'', a large number of their music videos have involved the sisters walking down L.A. streets.
* SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-q-yqkELFrA Haim covering]] Creator/AdamSandler's "The Chanukah Song"

* SpiritualSuccessor: They're often hyped as pop-era Music/FleetwoodMac's successors. Music/StevieNicks [[http://musicfeeds.com.au/news/hear-haim-and-stevie-nicks-recreate-fleetwood-macs-rhiannon/ apparently approves!]]

** She even does this in ''other artists'' music videos, such as when she cracks someone over the head with a pool cue in the video for Music/{{Chromeo}}'s "Old 45s".

* BigLippedAllegatorMoment: Este is good for these:

** They're also (less frequently) compared to early 1990s pop group Wilson Phillips, another all-female trio that frequently utilized vocal harmonies and two of its members[[note]]Wendy and Carnie Wilson, who are Music/BrianWilson's daughters[[/note]] were sisters.

%%* SignatureSong: "The Wire."

* BlackSheepHit: ''The Wire'' has a slightly country-tinged sound, not far from something Shania Twain would have made.
** While "Pray to God", their collaboration with Scottish DJ and music producer Music/CalvinHarris has some of their recognizable guitars, the song is more-or-less a dance track with some rock influences, making it the blackest of their hits.
* LimitedSpecialCollectorsUltimateEdition: Some versions of "Days Are Gone" came with a second disc compiling various remixes, the BSide ''Send Me Down'' and "Forever" track ''Better Off''.
** ''If I Could Change Your Mind'' was released as a vinyl single on Record Store Day with three different covers, each one depicting one of the Haim sisters.

* OldShame: What The Valli Girls - and more specifically, their appearance while members of The Valli Girls - are to Este and Danielle. Both have expressed regret that Haim wasn't their primary focus from the get-go.
** For one of Este's freestyle raps, the audience member picked by Danielle to select a topic suggested The Valli Girls. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OWzG6k33TSk Danielle and Este skipped over her and picked out another audience member to suggested the dating app Tinder instead.]]

* EarWorm:
** "The Wire," epically so. Its similar sound to [[Music/TheEagles "Heartache Tonight"]] helps.
** As does "Falling," which could be a lost track from the ''Film/{{Manhunter}}'' soundtrack.

** And then Este's swipe at the rise of far-right politics in the region at the end of the song, "We love you UK! Hopefully we'll still be allowed in the country after this song comes out...."
