Justice for Cinderella!Β :truthtea_sips_britney_2011_ff_femme_fatale_red_mug_spill:

Not a bad list. Some unexpected deep cuts, which I appreciated! Could still use some re-sorting, but I love that critics are taking the time to showcase her discography these daysΒ 

Absolutely!

And I totally agree about "Cinderella"Β :letitburn_elmo_fire_flames_burn:

GLORY
25. Make Me (feat G-Eazy) (2016)
21. Slumber Party (2016)
13. Man on the Moon (2016)

From this, we can tell that the majority were singles, but "Circus" was left out omg!! Are they crazy? And I guess "My Prerogative" wasn't included because it's a cover? It's such a fan favorite...

I guess the "odd" choices then are those songs that weren't official singles: 7 out of a 30 song list, almost a third from the total.

26. Quicksand (2008)
24. Get Naked (I Got a Plan) (2007)
20. And Then We Kiss (Junkie XL remix) (2005)
17. Unusual You (2008)
14. How I Roll (2011)
13. Man on the Moon (2016)
9. Touch of My Hand (2003)

"Quicksand", "Unusual You", "How I Roll", and "Man on the Moon" seem the oddest choices, I guess simply because they are deep cuts.

So maybe the most debatable point is the ORDER of the songs in the list. In that case, "HIAM" being 30 is clearly and absolutely ridiculous. The rest, I haven't really analysed yet.

I may sound like some kind of elitist, but I feel like songs from Oops...! are always underrated in these lists because of the albums uniquely advanced production.Β :ehidk_britney_um_eek:

I mean this is probably the reason why so many fans rank Oops...! album so low in their mind, most of the songs have so many layers, harmonies, hidden vocals, variations and unusual chord progressions but people only listen to them once and think that they are aged and basic while they are timeless and resplendent.Β Β :yeahhh_britney_oops_red_fist_cheer_yeah_smile_happy:

The list itself is okay. I'm kinda bored of having mostly singles appear on these rankings, but hey at least Stronger is finally getting what it deserves instead of always putting toxic at the #1 place:gagacrash_driving_run_hit_lady_sunglasses:
