Don't know about a favorite but top 3 for me is:

Heaven on Earth
Toy Soldier
Why Should I Be Sad

[alterector]

I feel like no one ever mentions Toy Soldier, but it's such a fucking banger, it makes my bussy touch the floor

[ghostsaddle]

toy soldier is that bitch!!!

[ghostsaddle]

shoutout to all of the fucking amazing b-sides too

[shittysoup]

[breaktheice89]

this should have been on the album!

[tucker]

Yes yes yes I’ve always loved that song

[easemybones]

It is by far my favorite pop album. I picked Perfect Lover, but all the songs are perfection.

Yass the one I voted for (Break the Ice) is actually winning for once!!

So if she makes a new album it would actually be a continuation of what she started with blackout, yes? Was that the last time she was in control of these things?

It's been speculated that Britney finally had input on Glory again. I think she loved that album.

Remember in her testimony how she complained that they wouldn't allow her to perform her new music--it was always remixes of Britney classics? So it's kind of like, they don't care what she puts out on an album--at the end of the day, Piece of Me classics are the money maker.

[ghostsaddle]

yeah i can definitely tell she had input with glory

[breaktheice89]

i absolutely believe that about glory, for the most part the songs have that typical britney sound. i can't even put my finger on it, but there's something that makes britney's music stand out to me from other pop music. and that's why i hate femme fetale (with the exception of he about to lose me, i'm convinced that was more the sound she wanted to take with ff) & britney jean, you can tell she had no creative control with those albums, they don't have that specific britney sound
