Rolling Stone Chooses Britney Spears's "Clumsy" As One Of The Best Songs In 2016

[Jordan Miller]

Oops!

It stung when Time listed Glory promotional cut "Private Show" as one of the worst songs of 2016, but it's equally distressing that Rolling Stone listed "Clumsy" as one of the best this year.

The music giant put out their list of the 50 Best Songs of 2016, which includes Nicki Minaj's "Black Barbies" (#49), Miranda Lambert's "Vice" (#31), Lady Gaga's "Perfect Illusion" (#28), Ariana Grande & Nicki Minaj's "Side to Side" (#22), Rae Sremmurd & Gucci Mane's "Black Beatles" (#10) and Solange's "Cranes in the Sky" (#7).

They also listed Britney Spears's "Clumsy" at #34, despite a dozen other impeccable songs off the pop princess' recent LP that deserve the spotlight, like "Make Me," "Slumber Party," "Liar," "Love Me Down," "Mood Ring" etc etc. No shade to the Felder and Alex Nice-produced electro banger, but it's one of the weakest records on the LP due to it failing to connect with her fanbase.

They also chose Beyonce's "Formation" as the best song of the year.

Rolling Stone's Top 5 songs of 2016:

5. Kanye West, "Ultralight Beam"
4. David Bowie, "No Plan"
3. Drake feat. Wizkid, Kyla, "One Dance"
2. Frank Ocean, "Ivy"
1. Beyoncé, "Formation"

See the full list here.

LITERAL MOOD:

Do you agree?

Is it Private Show? If so then not surprising they praised it to the heavens when it was released

Edit: Wait... it's something worse than Private show

Clumsy? SERIOUSLY?

Too short, too simple and it needed a better/bigger/more explosive beat after the "Oops".

[MaPlayz]

I love Clumsy I think there's better songs on the album overall, but Clumsy is a bop and a couple of my straight friends have asked me what the "oops song with the beat that I played last week" was called.

[MaPlayz]

Not to talk poorly about any song of the album coz they're all great - but really ... who'd rather listen to hard to forget ya than clumsy..

[Peter Pan]

lol @ all the clumsy haters XD

I agree it's not the best song on the album but I do think it's a fun song. I love "call me a fool call me insane" bit so much.

[Legend]

I don't understand why so many of you hate it I personally love it  

It's definitely in my top 10 

[britneyausfan]

tbh i actually really like it.. it came on in a spin class once (the teacher of the class is the guy who places the love interest in RADAR... cycle house west hollywood!).. and it made me like the song more

[shadowaddict]
