Britney on Best of Decade Lists

Posted under Blog, Music on December 10, 2009

With 2009 drawing to a close, music publications are releasing their "Best of the Decade" lists- and Britney is popping up all over them! 

Here are just a few places her songs and albums ranked:


Rolling Stone: Toxic is #4 song of decade in Decade-end Reader's Poll.

Rolling Stone: Blackout is #7 album of decade in Decade-end Reader's Poll.

PopEater: Toxic is #2 pop song of decade

The Times: Blackout is #5 pop album of decade.

NPR's Most Important Recordings of the Decade: 'Toxic' and In The Zone

Mixing dance, house, crunk, Diwali beats and Neptunes-style hip-hop with a heap of campy sexuality and controversy, 2003's In the Zone is a primer on the sound of pop in the '00s. The lineup of producers is a who's-who of hit-makers: Bloodshy & Avant, R. Kelly, P. Diddy, Tricky, Moby, Frou Frou's Guy Sisgworth and The Matrix. Still trying to break free of her teen-pop past, Spears served as the ideal vehicle for a futuristic sound. The album features some of her best singles, including the critically embraced dance hit "Toxic" and the wrenching confessional ballad "Everytime." While the decade's history of celebrity obsession, paparazzi voyeurism and conflicted constructions of female sexuality and motherhood are written on Spears' body, the decade's history of impeccably crafted pop is written on her body of work. -- Amy Schriefer

    You need to make a correction.

    'The Times' didn't rate Blackout as the 5th best album of the decade, they rated it as the 5th best album of ALL TIME.

    Please make this correction.

    I consider Toxic the most influential song of the decade, In the Zone, the best album of the decade and Gimme More as one of the best songs ever!

    All of Britney's music is good, you can't go wrong! She has sent and continues to set ways of doing things in the pop world. Without Britney performances would suck, award shows would be nothing, and pop music would be just plain boring! Thank you Britney for changing not only the music industry, but the world! :)
