That's hot: Britney Spears celebrates 20 years of Oops!...I Did It Again with a playlist of Y2K songs
Turns out burning down your home gym gives you lots of time to wax nostalgic about the best era of bubblegum pop music. With her second album, Ooops!…I Did It Again, recently 20 years old, Britney Spears (and totally not her publicity team) has released an Apple Music playlist of turn-of-the-century tunes that will give school-dance flashbacks to most Millennials. “I can’t believe it’s been 20 years since a lot of these songs came out,” Spears apparently told Apple Music. “For me these songs remind me of the time period when Oops! came out, which was a special time for me. I hope you love them like I do.”
Here are why a few of the songs made the cut on her “I Miss Y2K” playlist (which makes it sounds like she was one of those doomsday preppers who were stocking up canned goods ahead of the clock striking midnight in 2000…):
“Mariah is one of the main reasons I started singing…she is simply amazing. [‘Always Be My Baby’] is one of my favorites by her.”
“[‘Crazy In Love’] really makes me want to dance. Who better to make you want to dance than Beyonce?!”
“I still listen to [‘Cowboy Take Me Away’]! This song makes me think of being outside ….. and falling in love of course!”
