blurbs very much in character:
Britney is on the short list of pop stars who became so hugely iconic that they were at some point pretty much synonymous with pop music itself. And she'd easily be the worst singles artist on that list. Of her early bombastic Max Martin hits, only "(You Drive Me Crazy)" would get anywhere near this list if it'd been released a few months later, and ever since then it's been a parade of subpar tracks from hip hop producers and desperate attempts to jump on various dance subgenre bandwagons. But it's not the music or the vision, but simply Britney's stupid duck cartoon voice that makes her merely mediocre tracks unbearable. This song is pretty dope, though.

^^i'll actively rep for all those songs - that's quite a lot, which makes this a strong list in my eyes. "toxic" is one of the lesser numbers in there, tbh.
with pop it's always obvious which are the "approved" songs it's "okay" to like, whether because they became pop culture monoliths through sheer force of commerce or because of dodgier indiecrit reasons - but the fact that people have such kneejerk reactions is really proof that basic antipathy towards pop and its perceived unartisticness/shallowness has never gone away
also why take out "since u been gone"? that is also towards the lesser numbers in this list imo

i think - moreso than with your rap or r&b lists - the fact that you actually engage fully with this kind of music and have your own unique taste and approach to it means your list is going to be personal and throw off others who would just prefer the canon. you got similar reactions to your rock list iirc
― the buttonmasher, the party crasher, the forget-my-lotion skin rasher (k3vin k.), Saturday, 7 May 2011 01:33 (thirteen years ago) link
most of yr other top 50 lists felt like a better overview of the genres they were covering even granting the fact that theyre expressions of personal taste this one is too scattershot & its interpretation of 'pop' is probably too narrow
also most of the songs are just really terrible so
― Lamp, Saturday, 7 May 2011 01:34 (thirteen years ago) link
what would be a broader interpretation of 'pop' though? what artists did i give the shaft?
― ORIGINAL DUDE (some dude), Saturday, 7 May 2011 01:35 (thirteen years ago) link
actually, and i'm not going to go to your other lists to back this up but, i'd bet you have more repeat artists on this list than any other one? seems kind of light on novelty hits too, which is probably what most people expect when they're about to read a pop list
― the buttonmasher, the party crasher, the forget-my-lotion skin rasher (k3vin k.), Saturday, 7 May 2011 01:38 (thirteen years ago) link
yeah there's definitely a lot of repeat artists here and it's very much a product of my favorites and biases, i will cop to that. i'm just curious what definition of contemporary pop (not counting stuff on the other lists) could make this list seem 'narrow,' just because for me Norah Jones and All-American Rejects and the Shakira and Feist and Fergie and Dido span a pretty wide spectrum.
― ORIGINAL DUDE (some dude), Saturday, 7 May 2011 01:44 (thirteen years ago) link
well you couldve included more old ppl/lol yuppie pop - 'leave your boyfriends behind' charted didnt it? or that irish piano ballad - but its also weird that stuff like 'gold digger' or 'crazy' doesnt 'count'. theres also all the pop country trax that were giant hits idk looking at the billboard top 100 for the last decade so many of the songs were covered in yr rap & rnb lists so, sure, youre drawing from a narrower pool.
really the biggest exclusion were sorta-indie trax that seemed to 'cross over' imo

Feist was kind of my token representative for indie crossover -- how many other examples of that are there, though, that wouldn't have fit better on the rock list?
― ORIGINAL DUDE (some dude), Saturday, 7 May 2011 01:51 (thirteen years ago) link
I like this list. Off the top of my head my own list probably would include:
Britney Spears - Born To Make You Happy (00s by a whisker)Backstreet Boys - Shape Of My HeartTaylor Swift - "Love Story" and "Tim McGraw"Justin Timberlake - Rock Your BodyJessica Simpson - A Public Affair (and maybe "I Think I'm In Love")Kylie Minogue - The OneDaniel Bedingfield - If You're Not The OneMadonna - Get TogetherBlue - If You Come Back In My LifeMandy Moore - I Wanna Be With YouShakira - Objection (Tango)

well taylor swift & coldplay were kinda the biggest exclusions (other than kanye) in my mind but this is not really ~important~ to me or anything. the list is both more jarring & less comprehensive imo but i get that there are self-imposed constraints acting to potentially cause that, & that its also inherent in trying to outline a more amorphous 'genre' like pop

I think there is a certain air of absolute joyful plenitude and completeness and can-this-be-happening ecstaticness that a lot of disco-pop/house-pop anthems aspire to and that "Love At First Sight" actually nails.
Something like "Come Into My World" is going for a different vibe of escapist dreaminess (closer to "Can't Get You Out Of My Head", though that's slightly different again).
