HIAM and BTMYH can stay out the top 10. But I'd happily trade Stronger and Work Bitch for MP and Womanizer. :heart:

Not huge on 'Piece Of Me' but the rest of that top 10 is fantastic :wub:

that would be really strong top 10 IF Everytime got replaced. :wub:

Omg. #NickF1IsSACKED #BYENICKF1 #SACKEDFASTERTHANANF1RACINGCAR

Starting us off in the top 10, is I'm A Slave 4 U. The lead single from her 3rd album 'Britney' and it was the moment she shook off her whole girl next door, cutesy teen girl image. '...Slave 4 U' is a really sensual, mid-uptempo urban-tinged banger. Her image from the previous two eras was completely stripped from this point on. IAS4U went on to become a huge hit WW and is seen as one of her signature hits. It's also responsible for being one of the most iconic and greatest live performances of all time at the VMAs. It really put the VMAs on the map in terms of awards shows. Such a great song! The breathy "Ah-ah-ah"'s are DELICIOUS. Just so perfect. Watching the iconic video is enough to make anybody sweat tbh.

'I'm A Slave 4 U' is such enjoyable trash *.* that dance breakdown in the vid is iconic too!

IAS4U is one Britney's finest moments! She looks so sexy in that video - the hair, the tan, the clothes, the figure - and the choreography!! :wub: She looks completely different to the girl in BOMT and Oops.

Catching up :magic:

 

Til The World Ends is such a bop <3

 

Circus is a tad too high for me - it's beaten some of her legendary songs and some of her underrated faves. To only just miss out on the top 10? Reductive.

 

Not my favourite way of starting the top 10 either, oops. Slave.. isn't really one I return to much :(

 

 

Excited for the rest of the top 10 ~

I would have replaced WB and POM with Womanizer and Circus.

 

Not that I dislike WB and/or POM but the other two they just edge it for me!!!

Pop music would be so poor if Slave didn't happen. Such iconic track.

Did the video for I’m A Slave 4 U get a Dirrty like reaction to it in the US? I know it was before Dirrty lol but I mean like was the reaction like the one that got?

 

Like was it a real controversy moment. I remember the In The Zone era more clearly in terms of how the videos from that era were received but the Britney era really passed me by until I done my rate. I can only really recall the snake performance from that era as something I really remember.

Very much so. But more in terms that she's stripped the girl next door image and gone "sexy". I think Christina's was more controversial and raunchier. To me it feels like Brit's was "classy trashy" but Xtina (she got that nickname then too I think, due to it being "X Rated" - but I may have completely made that up lmao) was just all out "trashy".

 

I think Britney definitely got it easier, but her VMA's performance of the song was the thing to turn more heads I think.

What a great start to the Top 10! Such a sassy and self-assured lead single, and one of her very best videos. Queen of choreography :wub:

I always thought Christina got the nickname Xtina because "Christ" can be replaced by "X" like Christmas/Xmas. :lol:

:lol: :lol:

PIECE OF ME [8.67]

 

 

Highest: ...ready for it?, Nick F1, blacksquare, isolAddy!, FUTURE NOSTALGIA, jakewild, Jonjo, StupidLove, Jack (10); Jay, LMLou, Euphorique & JosephStyles (09.5); SamJudd; Nick Jonas, Vülker, Liam.k. & Tawdry Hepburn (09); DionTheSats123 & WinterFreeze (08.5).

Lowest: 🍆 (03); Jade + StayatHaus (05)

 

Up 1 spot, we have second single from Blackout, Piece Of Me. In the UK single peaked @no.2 in the US @no.18. That peak was caused due the low airplay. WW the song was hit reaching in many countries top 3/5/10 peaks. In 2008 single was nominated for VMA awards and it triumpfed in the main categories. Best pop video, best female video and video of the year. Britney was obviosly shocked by the triumf and in the interview for Z100 she said that she personally had way better videos but it was really cool and inspiring for her that she won all the awards. Fun fact; back vocals of Piece Of Me is sung by one and only Robyn. Imagine real collab between them. :wub:

I'm A Slave 4 U is iconic, and deserves the high rating, but it's not a song I go back to and listen often.

 

Piece of Me is still a bop, I definitely prefer it over Gimme More (overrated).

Piece Of Me is the best track on Blackout for me.
