Britney Spears took creative control on her fifth album, and with three words, the lead single made a now-iconic statement of defiance: “It’s Britney, bitch”
Britney Spears – Womanizer
‘Womanizer’ aimed to put Britney Spears back at the top of the charts after a tumultuous year. And it did…but at what price?
Britney Spears – From The Bottom Of My Broken Heart
While ‘Born To Make You Happy’ was Britney Spears’ fourth single in Europe, America got ‘From The Bottom Of My Broken Heart’ instead.
Britney Spears – Me Against The Music (Feat. Madonna)
‘Me Against The Music’ was a well-timed collaboration between Britney Spears and Madonna, emerging from the fallout of their VMAs kiss.
Britney Spears – Stronger
‘Stronger’ was always a powerhouse pop song for Britney Spears. But now, it’s a triumphant anthem of survival.
Britney Spears – My Prerogative
After years of intense media scrutiny on her every move, Britney Spears answered back with a cover of Bobby Brown’s ‘My Prerogative’.
BBMak – Back Here
‘Back Here’ wasn’t a hit when it was originally released in the UK, but that didn’t stop BBMak casually conquering America in the meantime.
Britney Spears – 3
What better way for Britney Spears to mark a decade in the music industry than reuniting with Max Martin for a song celebrating threesomes?
Madonna – Hollywood
‘Hollywood’ was quickly released to try and rescue the ‘American Life’ album. Instead, it led to one of the most iconic moments of the ’00s.
Ellie Campbell – Don’t Want You Back
Almost two years after her first top 40 single, Ellie Campbell was back with one of the best songs Britney Spears never recorded.
Britney Spears – Don’t Let Me Be The Last To Know
