I'm so excited, I'm in too deep 7. (You Drive Me) Crazy | 9.02 Highest Scores: 11: (Herbs), 10: (Nina West, Anita Hanjaab, Jessie Where, Nick F1, GTH, Lukuzz), Lowest Scores: 6: (JLJ) Heading into the 9 averages now at #7 with (You Drive Me) Crazy, released in August 1999 as the 3rd single from Britney's debut album Baby One More Time. Written and produced by Max Martin, Per Magnusson and David Kreuger with additional writing by Jörgen Elofsson and remix by Martin and Rami Yacoub. It was also featured on the soundtrack to the 1999 teen romantic comedy "Drive Me Crazy". The song was remixed for its single release titled "The Stop Remix". Upon release it garnered positive reviews from music critics & became a commercial success worldwide by reaching top 10 peaks in more than 17 countries such as Belgium, France, Netherlands, Sweden, Canada, Ireland, Germany, Switzerland, New Zealand, UK & in the USA. The music video features cameo appearances of actors Melissa Joan Hart and Adrian Grenier, who star in the movie "Drive Me Crazy", which is named for the song. As part of promotion for the song, Spears performed the song at the 1999 MTV Europe Music Awards and 1999 Billboard Music Awards. This track & the #8 entry 'BTMYH' were constantly neck and neck throughout the competition, but about half way through this started getting much higher scores & beat that other track by 6.5 points. This song especially in its remixed form acts as a spiritual sequel to her debut hit 'Baby One More Time' with its immediately distinctive thumping intro, however, this isn't doesn't pale in comparison by any means, as its a fantastic song in its own right with its simple yet effective formula of bouncy beats, edgy synths, recurring cowbells & smart production that helps this soar above the usual teen pop fodder from this time period & thanks to Britney's strong vocals and charisma the song bursts with infectious energy at the right moments. This is become one of Britney's most prominent and celebrated gems from her early career that further cemented her ongoing chart dominance that would continue to flourish with each release. |

Great result for '(You Drive Me) Crazy'! The Stop remix is such a fab uplift to the original.

It's Britney, bitch 6. Gimme More | 9.25 Highest Scores: 11: (Chapman, Lukuzz), 10: (Nina West, spiceboy, Jade, Jessie Where, Slayer, Nick F1, GTH, Nick Jonas, blacksquare, Tafty, Scene), Lowest Scores: 5: (Anita Hanjaab) At #6 is Gimme More, released in August 2007 as the lead single from Britney's 5th studio album Blackout. Written by Jim Beanz, Marcella "Ms. Lago" Araica, Nate "Danja" Hills and Keri Hilson, and was also produced by Danja. The song recorded in 2006 during Britney's second pregnancy and was one of the first solo productions by Danja whose vocals are also used on the outro. The single's only promotion was at the 2007 MTV Video Music Awards, which was panned by many critics, with one deeming it as one of the worst performances to grace the MTV awards. The music video mixed to negative reviews from critics, who panned the lack of storyline & dancing. Despite all this the song itself received critical acclaim & became a massive commercial success worldwide by reaching top 5 peaks in 14 countries such as Canada, Ireland, Italy, Sweden, Australia, UK, Switzerland, France & in the USA where it peaked at #3, becoming her 2nd highest charting single at the time. After her MTV performance, Cara Cunningham (then known as Chris Crocker) uploaded a video on YouTube in response to the criticism titled "Leave Britney Alone!", which made her an Internet celebrity and attracted attention from the media. That iconic opening line "It's Britney Bitch" has to be one of the most brilliant lines in the history of pop music, then the hypnotic electronic beats and fuzzy basslines kicks in and you instantly know that you're in for something very different to Britney's previous work & its fantastic. The brooding futuristic production, pulsating rhythms & breathy vocals gives everything a slick and thrilling sound at the same time, and sets the perfect tone for what to expect from her 'Blackout' which was very ahead of its time. The song like the album itself is a pure masterpiece and despite being released at what was perhaps her darkest time period in the public eye, she still managed to deliver something incredible and you have to commend her for that.

I'm not that innocent 5. Oops I Did It Again | 9.395 Highest Scores: 11: (Anita Hanjaab, Roba), 10: (Nina West, spiceboy, Slayer, Nick F1, TimConArtist, GTH, pippa, Nick Jonas, Mack, Pandamic Tension, Tafty, Eduardo), Lowest Scores: 7: (Jessie Where, blacksquare, Lukuzz) Let's kick off the all important top 5 in almighty style with Oops I Did It Again, released in April 2000 as the lead single from Britney's 2nd studio album of the same name, and her 6th single overall. Written and produced by Max Martin and Rami Yacoub. The lyrics refer to a woman who views love as a game, and she decides to use that to her advantage by playing with the emotions of a boy who likes her. The bridge features spoken dialogue which references the hit 1997 film 'Titanic'. Upon its release it received mainly positive reviews from music critics & became a massive commercial success worldwide by topping the charts in at least 20 countries including Australia, Belgium, Canada, Italy, Netherlands, New Zealand, Sweden, Switzerland & in the UK, becoming her 3rd chart topper there. In the USA it only managed a #9 peak due to Jive Records not issuing a physical release, as they were focused on album sales, a tactic which worked as her 2nd album sold over 1.32 Million copies in its first week there. The song was nominated for Best Female Pop Vocal Performance at the 43rd Annual Grammy Awards in 2001. The iconic accompanying music video was directed by Nigel Dick; it depicts Britney dancing on Mars dressed in a red bodysuit. It went on to receive three nominations at the 2000 MTV Video Music Awards. Probably one of the most meta pop moments of all-time, its something that would have never existed without 'Baby One More Time', as despite having a similar formula to it, this manages to take the essence of what worked before, while at the same time takes some unexpected and unorthodox deviations to create one of Britney's most iconic and signature career hits that successfully continued the momentum built up by her first album & singles. Britney was simply too big to fail at the time and whatever she released it would have been successful anyway. However, now that her direction and sound was firmly established there was no going back. There was a lost riding on 'Oops' being the first new single to launch a new album cycle, the title alone is a knowing, self-referential nod to the role that the track was fulfilling. It successfully evolves her sound with one of the most recognisable intros in pop music, the thumping double synth stabs, catchy chorus and that tempo sustained throughout is glorious thanks to the stellar production. Then there's that now iconic tongue in cheek spoken interlude between Britney and her lover (voiced by Max Martin), which went onto become a pop-culture phenomenon in its own right. This has to be the lead single, it wouldn't have made any sense in any other context and what a brilliant offering it was, an incredibly fun pop song. |

QUOTE(Scene @ Mar 27 2024, 04:41 PM)  Amazing top 5 but I would replace Stronger with another tbh. Shocked it outperformed Oops.  'Stronger' got my 11 that should've gone to 'Gimme More' because it NEEDED to get the placing it deserves! I really hope it can push for #3 but I suspect #4 is where it drops. Which is still a great result! An all timer. Pop masterpiece. Honestly I'm not mad with anything that's left. I have preferences, but honestly, they all deserve their rightful win. |

My loneliness ain't killing me no more 4. Stronger | 9.5 Highest Scores: 11: (Nina West, Jessie Where, One For Sorrow, Tafty, Lukuzz), 10: (spiceboy, Slayer, Nick F1, JLJ, Nick Jonas, blacksquare, Mack, Chapman, Eduardo), Lowest Scores: 5: (Scene) At #4 is one of my personal all-time faves - Stronger, released in October 2000 as the 3rd single from Britney's 2nd studio album Oops I Did It Again. Written and produced by Max Martin & Rami Yacoub. The song was one of the several tracks recorded in Sweden with Max & Yami at Cheiron Studios. The track features self-empowerment lyrics about a girl who is tired of her cheating boyfriend and decides to move on without him. Upon release it received acclaim from music critics, with many deeming it the best song on the album & became a global success, reaching top 5 peaks in Austria, Germany & Sweden, while reaching top 10 peaks in Ireland, Switzerland, Finland and in the UK. In the USA it peaked at #11 on the Top 100, becoming the album's 2nd highest charting hit there. The song ranked at number 37 on Rolling Stone's "The 50 Most Inspirational LGBTQ Songs of All Time" list. One of Britney's greatest achievements in pop music and its something that became a lot more meaningful long after its release. Opening with that glorious snarling electric guitar riff then the aggressive thumping beat kicks in and you can already tell that you're in for something very different to what she's done before with its heightened drama as she belts out the chorus with almighty confidence & never lets up until the middle eight before coming back with a new melody and distorted beats & therefore this pop masterpiece takes you on one hel of thrill ride from start to finish. The visuals that accompanies the song is equally as iconic and remains one of the most toweringly epic in her extensive back-catalogue. Despite its somewhat mixed commercial success, it's #7 peak in the UK meant that it was her first to miss the top 5, doesn't take away how prominent and well-regarded it has become, especially in relation to her career & how successfully it pushes those bondaries to become an absolute powerhouse of a song, that has now become a triumphant anthem of survival. |
