00:09that don't get quite as much love as they deserve.

00:13Can't Make You Love Me

00:18Oops, I did it again.

00:24The title song from Britney's Oops album is the undeniable showstopper hit.

00:28However, we're very lucky that it's not the only song worth our attention by a long shot.

00:32Britney cited Don't Let Me Be The Last To Know as one of her favorites, which shows

00:36a softer, heartfelt side.

00:46Then there's Can't Make You Love Me, a bop that contrasts with many of the album's high-energy

00:51It adds emotional range to an album full of pop bangers, giving listeners a glimpse of

01:02a Britney we didn't always get to see.

01:04Its universal themes of heartbreak and rejection, paired with her delivery, make it easy to

01:09connect on a personal level.

01:149.

01:16The Singles Collection

01:173 is one of those tracks that shows off the singer's sexy, sassy side.

01:20Written by Max Martin and Shellbag, it brings cheeky, flirty lyrics to a melody that's downright

01:25catchy.

01:33It's upbeat and playful, and Britney's auto-tuned vocals give it that cool, futuristic energy

01:38that makes it impossible not to get hooked.

01:40The minimalist music video highlights her magnetic showmanship and iconic dance moves,

01:44making it even more alluring.

01:53Even though it topped the Billboard Hot 100, it somehow got lost in the shuffle of her

01:57bigger hits.

01:58But with its irresistible hook, infectious beat, and Britney's playful charm, 3 is still

02:03one of her boldest and most fun tracks.

02:088.

02:12Ooh Ooh Baby, Blackout

02:16According to producer J.R. Rotem, Britney went into the Blackout album aiming to stay

02:20ahead of the pop curve, and this track shows it.

02:23Inspired somewhat by Nelly Furtado's promiscuous, Ooh Ooh Baby exudes sensuality with a smooth,

02:29sultry vibe that makes you want to move.

02:39The lyrics are flirtatious and seductive, and Britney's delivery is flawless.

02:43The production has this dreamy, hypnotic quality that grabs you instantly and keeps you there.

02:55Britney definitely doesn't leave much to the imagination here, either.

02:58The song's got that perfect mix of confidence and charm, making it one of her best hidden

03:03gems.

03:047.

03:05Till The World Ends, Femme Fatale

03:18Teaming up again with the legendary Max Martin, Britney dropped this Europop dance track that

03:22proves she's not just a pop princess, but a dance anthem queen.

03:33It gives us electrifying beats, an unforgettable chorus, and Britney at perhaps her most empowered.

03:39The song makes you want to stop everything and just dance.

03:42It probably even takes you back to your clubbing days, dancing among the masses who are going

03:46just as hard as this song deserves.

03:50If there was ever a track for Britney to reclaim her pop princess crown, only this time a more

03:59bedazzled version, this was it.

04:02We don't know about you, but we'll definitely keep playing this track till the world ends.

04:096.

04:14Man On The Moon, Glory

04:23While Britney's 2013 album, Britney Jean, didn't exactly light the charts on fire, her

04:27follow-up in 2016 saw the singer come back in a blaze of glory.

04:32Songs like Man On The Moon took the elements we love from her earlier works, but now with

04:36a more mature edge.

04:43Using space imagery, she sings about longing for a loved one, and the emotion in her voice

04:47feels like it could reach the moon and back.

04:49It's a softer side of Britney, with a romantic, dreamy vibe, as she imagines being reunited

04:54with her love.

05:03Another hidden gem on Glory is Just Love Me.

05:06Trust us.

05:07Give it a listen.

05:08You'll just love it.

05:125.

05:15I Got A Plan, Blackout

05:25During her Blackout era, Britney was a new mom, expecting again and facing intense public

05:30scrutiny.

05:36Critics focused more on her personal struggles than her music, but with nothing left to lose,

05:41she embraced total freedom in the studio.

05:43It allowed her to experiment and create something unique.

05:46The result was a track that stands out as undeniably iconic.

05:56While the lyrics aren't groundbreaking, the funky dance melody and the hypnotic repetition

06:00of the few words we hear make it a timeless dancefloor hit.

06:03It's a song that shows off Britney's boldness and creativity in a fresh way.

06:08Talk about silencing the critics and making fans scream, give me more.

06:164.

06:20Let Me Be, Britney

06:21This album is packed with underrated treasures that deserve way more attention.

06:33a bop, while Lonely is an empowering banger.

06:44Yet for us, Let Me Be stands out.

06:47It's a pop track with a twist that absolutely oozes attitude.

06:50If you're after a confidence boost, and a major middle finger to the haters, this is

06:55the track you need.

07:03Britney's 2001 album was her way of shouting to the world that she was growing up and Let

07:08Me Be was the perfect anthem to leave the critics in the dust.

07:12With its simple production, her raw emotion takes center stage, making it feel real, fresh,

07:17and unlike anything else in her catalogue.

07:233.

07:28Touch of My Hand, In The Zone

07:37If her eponymous album signaled her growth, this one marked her full transition from girlhood

07:42to womanhood.

07:43Touch of My Hand was the first song created for the album, one where Spears had more creative

07:47input.

07:51She described it as bringing balance to the album, saying,

07:54"...we just went there."

07:55The melody's eastern influences make it unmissable among the dance-heavy, attitude-filled tracks

08:01that dominate the album.

08:07In it, Britney confidently celebrates the joys of self-pleasure, sending a powerful

08:11message that there's no shame in enjoying your own company.

08:15This album offers a buffet of genres, with tracks like Don't Hang Up showcasing yet another

08:20side of her artistry.

08:252.

08:29Unusual You, Circus

08:31Britney wanted to come out of blackout with something a little bit lighter, and she says

08:35it in the title track.

08:40And she certainly did.

08:42But hidden among the album's big singles is Unusual You, a track that beats with emotion.

08:55It's so different from the other songs on the album, with its haunting, almost ethereal

08:58feel.

08:59The production is smooth and dreamy, and Britney's delivery is raw, showing a side of her that

09:04doesn't get much airtime elsewhere.

09:12We get vulnerability with lyrics that describe a love that's anything but typical, but still

09:16totally captivating.

09:18Honestly, it's wild this song wasn't a single.

09:20It's one of her most mesmerizing tracks.

09:29Before we unveil our top pick, here are a few honorable mentions.

09:32Inside Out.

09:34A multi-genre bop that proves why Britney's songs are timeless.

09:45Anticipating.

09:46Britney.

09:47We're anticipating that this song will now find its way back onto a few playlists.

09:59Shattered Glass, Circus.

10:01A dark electro-pop banger that shatters all expectations.

10:13Alien, Britney Jean.

10:14A soul-stirring tune about life under the spotlight.

10:25Bombastic Love, Britney.

10:27Another song from her early discography that's bombastically underrated.

10:56Born To Make You Happy.

10:58You don't keep your spot as Britney's most successful album without packing in so many

11:02awesome tracks.

11:11It drives us crazy that sometimes some of Britney's early hits get forgotten.

11:16And honestly, from the bottom of our broken hearts, we wish they'd get more love.

11:27Born To Make You Happy is one of those songs that deserves so much more credit.

11:30At the time, it was a risque move for her teen pop idol image, but it's a beautiful

11:34glimpse into her growth.

11:43The lyrics might not be the most progressive, but they carry this vulnerability, which just

11:48hits differently.

11:49Its smooth, lush production takes you straight back to Britney's golden era.

11:53It's pure nostalgic pop that makes us happy whenever we hear it.
