I avoid modern pop music in general… But I’m sorry, I will always have a soft spot for “Baby one more time” by Britney.

I would add “I want it that way” but let’s be real, every dude secretly likes that song.

    Max Martin is the genius working behind most of the artists mentioned in this thread. The dude is a total hit parade machine and the fact that no one said his name tells me a lot about how music is perceived in the mainstream.

      Possibly because this thread is about the songs, not the producers, but please I would absolutely love for you to expand on what it tells you about how music is perceived in the mainstream, should my eyes ever stop spinning like a one armed bandit.

        No need to be sarcastic, I’m not attacking anyone on a personal level.

        I know this thread is about songs, in fact I wanted to give credit to the people who actually had an active part in writing these songs (not just producing).
        I know people cannot always credit every member working behind a piece of music, like it’s a scientific paper, but if you’re a lover of this art sometimes is nice to stop and be curious about who these people are and how they work. If you don’t you’re just a consumer, which is fine but you’re missing a big part of the process.
