Sixth # 1 single for Britney.

 

"Don't Let Me Be the Last to Know" is a song recorded by American singer Britney Spears for her second studio album "Oops!... I Did It Again" (2000). It was released on March 5, 2001, by Jive Records as the fourth and final single from the album. After meeting with producer Robert John "Mutt" Lange in Switzerland, Spears recorded several songs for the album, including "Don't Let Me Be the Last to Know", which she considered one of her favorites on the album. Additional lyrics were written by guitar player Keith Scott and country pop singer Shania Twain. The teen-pop ballad speaks of a woman wanting to hear her boyfriend say that he needs loves her, and features a sound similar to David Bowie and Iggy Pop's song "China Girl" (1983).

Is it anybody here, who wants a continue of this thread ?

I'm always interested Alex, and you do seem to get "hits" so people must be looking at it for the unusual mix of class, obscure and cheese B-)
