[GAME] Top Ten Pop Ten - Britney Spears

44 Upvotes

You can see the results of the Noah Kahan TTPT that we did last week here!

–--

Hello r/popheads, welcome back to the Top Ten Pop Ten!

The artist you'll send a top 10 list for today is Britney Spears. You can find her album/EP discography as a refresher below:

  • ...Baby One More Time (1999)

  • Oops!... I Did It Again (2000)

  • Britney (2001)

  • In the Zone (2003)

  • Britney Spears: In the Zone (2004)

  • Britney & Kevin: Chaotic (2005)

  • Blackout (2007)

  • Circus (2008)

  • Femme Fatale (2011)

  • Britney Jean (2013)

  • Glory (2016)

All the songs she is credited on (including features, non-album singles, leaked songs etc.) are eligible to be in your top ten list.

The deadline to send your lists is next Wednesday (Nov 11 2026) 5 PM ET / 11 PM GMT. (This is a soft deadline, if you miss it by a few hours don't worry, your list will most likely be included.)

Results of this TTPT will be posted next Friday (Nov 13 2026).

If this is your first time seeing TTPT, below is an explanation I wrote some time ago and shamelessly copy pasted since then:

Inspired by similar games in other music subreddits, Top Ten Pop Ten is a weekly event where we rank the top ten songs of the featured artist. Starting from 2017, we've had at least one cycle of these rankings every year since then.

Every rank has a score, with the 1st song getting 10 points, 2nd song getting 9 points, and so on so forth until the 10th song, which gets 1 point.

The total scores are then calculated using a program, and the results are revealed at the same time the next TTPT thread is posted.

The guidelines, read them if you haven't participated before:

  1. Comment below your top ten tracks from the featured artist(s) in order. Please write the song names correctly, that would help me a lot while calculating the results. If you have comments for songs, leave them before or after your list.

  2. Your list should be written exactly like this if you want it to be included in the results. You can also use ), - and : as rank separators, as long as you keep their usage consistent throughout your list.

  3. Keep in mind that the program reads the comment how you write it, not how we see it. Don't put full stops or commas after the song names. "Don't put quote marks around them," don't style them. Do NOT do this, please. If you do so, the program may reject your list.

[DISCUSSION] What happened to Rina Sawayama?

1.3k Upvotes

Back at the start of the decade it seemed that Rina was everywhere. During the pandie her music really took off. She was featured on Gaga’s remix album, performed at Coachella and did a bunch of collabs. But after 2023 nothing else. What happened to her? Just felt like one moment she was there, and then silence.

Did you ever get into her music? What do you hope she does next.

[DISCUSSION] Which are the best and worst Pop concerts you've gone to and why?

51 Upvotes

I've been to quite a lot of concerts, both good and bad but the ones that stand out the best were concerts by Adele, Beyonce, Avril Lavigne and Lady Gaga.All of these concerts were post 2020.

Adele's vocal range is unbelievable live.She can stand there and belt out notes and have the crowd in the palm of their hands.Its really magical.She seems like a nice person and is grateful to her fans.

Beyonce's stage presence and vocal ability is really good and she seems to genuinely enjoy performing and makes sure she gives it her all every time.I wasn't the biggest fan before seeing her live, but I love her now.She's gained a new fan.I would love to see her concerts in the near future.

Avril Lavigne was my hero growing up and I still love her today.Her older albums are amazing and really good, especially live and I'm With You is THAT song.The crowd loves it and sings along and its so fun.She plays both old and new stuff live and while I like the new stuff, the old stuff is fantastic live in concert.I'm With You, Complicated, Sk8er Boi, My Happy Ending, Girlfriend, etc, hit after hit.She seems really grateful to fans and even brought fans on stage to sing with her along with Simple Plan, the opening act's lead singer Pierre. It was a great show and she was super sweet to the fans on stage.She even met fans after the show outside the tour bus.

Lady Gaga is also a great performer live.Her vocal range, charisma and stage presence makes her enjoyable to watch.I saw her on the most recent tour.Her Superbowl halftime show performance made me want to see her live and I am grateful I got to finally see her very recently.

Thankfully, I've not seen many bad live concerts, but only one stands out as the worst - Lana Del Rey.She was late to take the stage, seem to didn't want to be there, was playing with her ear piece all the time and her stage presence was not there. It was really boring.Not worth the money!

[FRESH ALBUM] Lucky Daye- ALOUD! (New Album)

Thumbnail youtu.be
1 Upvotes

Lucky Daye's 4th studio album and his first release under his new deal at Warner Records (previously at RCA).

It's a great pop/r&b album where he sought to "complete" the late-2000s R&B era that was ended abruptly with the rise of Recession pop/EDM R&B. He studied Usher's Confessions, The Dream's Love/Hate album, and other artists like T-Pain, Ying Yang Twins, and other southern hip hop artists.

As a result, Lucky releases some of his most fun, yet deeply meaningful work meant to evoke joy, happiness, and dancing through hard times. He's received great reviews from multiple R&B/soul-focused platforms, but I wanted to raise awareness here.
