This journalist compiled his own Top 10 list of the pop princess’ greatest recordings, in honor of music career of Britney Spears.
At No. 10 is her ballad “Lucky,” which had a neat music video accompanying it. “Lucky” would go on to reach the Top 25 on the Billboard Hot 100 charts in 200.
At No. 9 comes “Hold It Against Me,” which was a chart-topping single on the pop charts, and it had a catchy dance vibe to it. “Hold It Against Me” was a track from her “Femme Fatale” studio album.
“Sometimes” comes in a No. 8, which is yet another song from the beginning of her career, which struck a chord with her pop music fans and listeners.
At No. 7 is “Born to Make You Happy,” which would peak at No. 1 on the Billboard charts in the United Kingdom. The song is infectious and an ode to her fans about what Spears was born to do in life, “make them happy.”
“Toxic” comes in at No. 6, which is the song that earned Spears a Grammy award for “Best Dance Recording.” It reached the Top 10 on the Billboard Hot 100 charts, peaking at No. 9.
At No. 5 is “Womanizer,” which was a spitfire single, that became Spears’ second chart-topping single on the Billboard Hot 100 charts, after “Baby #One More Time” achieved that milestone in 1999.
“(You Drive Me) Crazy” comes in at No. 4 thanks to its memorable beats and stunning music video. It was a Top 10 hit for Spears back in 1999.
At No. 3 is the spitfire and unapologetic “Stronger,” which was sassy and a great deal of fun. “Stronger” is a true anthem of female empowerment.
“Oops! . . . I Did It Again” comes it at No. 2. This was the song that changed Spears’ image forever, from a teen sensation into a more mature woman. Her performance of this tune at the MTV Video Music Awards (VMAs) was met with mixed reviews and criticism that year from fans and critics alike.
When all is said and done, Britney Spears’ greatest recording, which comes in at No. 1, is her breakthrough hit “Baby One More Time,” which spent two weeks at the top spot on the Billboard Hot 100 charts back in 1999. This was the song that really propelled her into the global stratosphere, and earned her international fame.
