The Britney Spears Video Countdown: Number 7

Everyday until VMA Sunday, August 28th, I will be posting my top picks, with the number one video being revealed right before the start of the show!
7. Oops... I Did It Again
As mentioned earlier, this video is the first Britney Spears video I remember that truly cemented Britney as a bona fide pop star in mind. The main theme of this clip, besides shimmying in a skin tight red bodysuit, is that Britney is not that innocent. And it's quite true. We've seen her grow up from bubble gum pop, to more urban, edgier hip sounds, to icy European synths and sexy dubstep. But before the total transformation happened right before our eyes, this video cemented her star status and has become one of her signature hits. And when it comes to making hits, Britney keeps doing it again and again.

8. Me Against The Music
The Queen and Princess of Pop Music finally came together for a collaboration and music video. As we saw last year with Lady GaGa and Beyonce teaming up for Telephone and it's accompanying music video, when two pop divas come together the results are epic! Back in 2003, off the heels of their VMA performance (which needs no further explanation) Madonna and Britney teamed up again for lead single off In the Zone. This video is filled with intense choreography and passes the baton from elder pop star to younger. Check it out, as well as the infamous VMA moment and Glee's version featuring the amazing Heather Morris.

The Britney Spears Video Countdown: Number 9

9. Everytime
This clip was dramatic and statement making at the time of it's release in 2004, but looking back, it is very prophetic and introspective clip of her very personal breakdown and struggles with Hollywood fame. The video shows Spears running away from the ever intruding paparazzi, and after being hit by a camera, a concussion that leads to her untimely demise from drowning in the bathtub. Ripe with imagery that parallels some of Madonna's greatest video hits, this video while not her flashiest or danciest is certainly among one her most symbolic. Plus, when I first saw this video in middle school and the whole death by the paparazzi theme went completely over my head, I thought she looked totally hot running down the hospital hallway in nothing but a her boyfriend's shirt.

The Britney Spears Video Countdown: Number 10

10. Piece of Me
By the standards of Britney Spears, this may not be her best, but it certainly marked the beginning of her career comeback. This anti-paparazzi video was filled with enough in your face attitude, spunk and that Britney energy we all know and love to earn her first Video Music Awards. She won three that night, including Video of Year. Shortly after the VMAs, Womanizer was released and the rest is Brit History.

We're Counting Down Britney Spears' Top Ten Music Videos
This years MTV Video Music Awards will feature a tribute to Britney spears and I could not be more excited! When I think back to being a young kid, my first memory of a true pop star has to be Britney Spears in her red bodysuit from the Oops... I Did It Again music video. I was seven years old, and the video was being shown on Nickelodeon (back then I was banned from watching MTV and in fact, I think I technically still am) and I was convinced that Britney Spears was the most important person in the world. Eleven years later, Brit Brit is still at the peak of cultural relevancy and has only produced more hits and iconic imagery well deserving of a tribute.I am eagerly anticipating her VMA tribute and to contain myself, I'm going to be counting down my favorite ten Britney Videos. Beginning tomorrow and everyday until VMA Sunday, August 28th, I will be posting my top picks, with the number one video being revealed right before the start of the show!
What are some of your favorite Britney videos and moments? Let me know and you might see some of them in my list. In the meantime, check out this promo for Britney's VMA tribute.

Katy Perry Makes Hot 100 History!
On tomorrow's Billboard Hot 100 Chart, Perry's Last Friday Night (T.G.I.F.) will take over the number one spot, becoming her fifth consecutive number one from her album "Teenage Dream," and sixth overall. Launching five number ones from any album is amazing feat, and Perry is the first female to do so and second artist overall behind Michael Jackson who sent five singles from his "Bad" album to number one between 1987-88. Perry's other number ones from Dream include "California Gurls," the title track "Teenage Dream," "Firework" and "E.T." featuring Kanye West. Her first chart topper is "I Kissed A Girl" from 2008's "One of the Boys." To celebrate, let's countdown my favorite five Katy Perry Songs:
5. Peacock
If Katy wants to make it six number ones she should realease this addictive track from Teenage Dream. Seriously, I've heard this song once last year and it's still stuck in my head.
4. Firework
This inspirational tune is both a club banger and a pick me up. And the music video features fireworks launched from Katy's bosom.
3. Hot N Cold
The soundtrack to bipolar disorder, this single proved Perry was more than a one-hit wonder, and it's still one of her best.
2. California Gurls
I Love This Song and I have absolutely no ties to California! While it seems like the perfect summer hit, I have to tell you it sounds best volume blasted all the way up in December.
1. I Kissed A Girl
Hands down Katy Perry's best song. Ever. Possibly one of the best songs ever. She Kissed A Girl and oh yes did America like it!
And of Course, here's the lucky number one, Last Friday Night
