Here’s to one of the most consistent record makers of the last fifteen years. As I wrote in 2011, “Britney Spears is the polymorphic essence of every disco dolly who’s so post-feminist/post-sexual/post-woman that to wonder whether she’s used or being used by the purported objects of lust she’s dancing/fucking is beside the point.” Her recombinant voice suggests she’ll do anything: subject as object, object as object, freak show as display of virginity. If he keeps releasing albums as strong as last year’s Glory, she’ll do fine.
1. Heaven on Earth
2. Seal it with a Kiss
3. Oops!…I Did It Again
4. Till the World Ends
5. Toxic
6. Piece of Me
7. Break the Ice
8. Hit Me Baby One More Time
9. Radar
10. Overprotected
11. Do You Wanna Come Over
12. Criminal
13. Get Naked (I Got a Plan)
14. I’m Not a Girl, Not Yet a Woman
15. (You Drive Me) Crazy
16. Everytime
17. Jut Luv Me
18. Perfume
19. How I Roll
20. Touch of My Hand
Probably the most nonconforming ranking of Britney Spears songs. Two questions:
1.Is (You Drive Me) Crazy referring to the “Stop” remix or just the album version?
2.How would you compare this list of music with her peers like Beyonce and Justin Timberlake? (As you made ranking of their best songs as well)
1. It doesn’t matter.
2. As strong and weird as any by Justin and Beyonce, and weirder than Justin’s.
Thanks for reading!
