So i've been recently listening again to Britney's discography after ages and i've come to the conclusion that "3" is, and always have been, the perfect pop track that really deserved more high recognitions, such as a Grammy, for the following reasons: - The entire song screams 'Britney Spears' all over it, edgy lyrics, fierce attitude and makes you feel like the $€xiest person alive. - Max Martin proved once again that his production remains unmatched and when working with Britney, magic always happens! - It's one of the few Britney's songs to have a proper solid bridge, one of the best bridges of her entire catalogue, if you ask me...still getting goosebumps from it after all this years! If Britney will ever make music again i just hope Max reaches out to her...Glory was really cool and a lot of fun () but we need the "Britney Banger" once again! Thoughts?

I commented under the anniversary of Diary Of Britney spears documentary of Max and Britney making I'm not a girl. My comment was "I wish they worked together just last time, it's never going to happen but one can dream" after he liked it, I mentioned about the glory song DYFO being a banger lol. Can you believe that was left unfinished when it was their first Collab since 2011? I can't I was informed it was a fan site but I still stand behind my comment lol

So I've not seen "& Juliet" yet, but as an ardent Britney stan and student of Max Martin's songwriting and production methods, this feels like a must-see for me. Much as I love the songs included, I would be in favor of a shakeup of the song list with some of Max's more overlooked classics and newer hits. Personally, I'd want all of the Dr. Luke-credited songs to go, for obvious reasons, but I concede that only 6 of the 29 appear in the musical. Some of my personal recommendations would be Sam Smith's "How Do You Sleep?", Robyn's "Do You Know (What It Takes)", the oft-ignored predecessor to "Show Me Love", and this is pure pipe dream material, but I'd love to see Solid HarmoniE and Jessica Folcker songs included to help reintroduce them to new audiences. Finally, and most importantly, HOW IS THERE NO TAYLOR SWIFT SONG??? "Wildest Dreams", "Blank Space" and "...Ready For It?" would be fantastic, but my personal favorite would be "I Did Something Bad" at a pivotal moment during the musical. Now, I'm no theatre producer, nor do I plan to be, but I would like to see & Juliet explore Max's discography beyond just his big hits.

Max Martin became #1 producer with the most number-one singles on the Billboard HOT 100 (tie with George Martin (The Beatles)) with "My Universe" by Coldplay and BTS. He's also the #3 songwriter with the most number-one singles on the Billboard HOT 100. It all started with Britney Spears's "...Baby One More Time" in 1998. Legends. Also he's coming for blood with Adele and Dua Lipa...and maybe #B10?

So I was browsing Netflix and I bumped into this docu-series called 'This is Pop'. So far, I've only watched the third episode: Stockholm Syndrome. I found very interesting all the insights given on how Sweden has been so influential in pop music. Of course, Britney is mentioned. The Cheiron team says this about her: "...when we got to work with her we realized how professional she was and how hard she worked. I mean, she stood in that little singing room for, I mean, day in day out. And she just delivered, delivered, delivered..." I wish they had gone a little deeper about how ...Baby One More Time was done (mainly because Max Martin is brought up, obviously), but I just think it's so nice to hear respectable names in the industry talk about her that way. And well, the narrator lets a 'It's Britney, *****' slip in Check it out, I'll go and finish the rest of the episodes.

From his early days with Ace of Base, Robyn, to his iconic hits with Britney Spears, Backstreet boys, NSYNC, Taylor Swift, Katy Perry, To his lone Selena Gomez production " Hands to Myself"..enjoy.
