Track #2 off ITZ is a urban-pop song featuring The Ying Yang Twins(whatever happened to them) and was one of the songs Britney often performed in promotion of the album. The song is a catchy jam though I'm not the biggest fan of the feature.

FINALLY!

Oh my god no taste

Tell me what is #14 worthy about this

[Deleted]

Next up #8, another song with no #1's nor #14's
A bunch of top 5's will be lost and some bottom 5's
It's one of the 4 non-singles left

Track #3 off the album is one of the two Bloodshy & Avant produced tracks, it's a fun one imo though it's far from my top favorite.

[Glove Slap]

TOMH should have been out way before either of these. Same with the lead single.

[Deleted]

Next up #7, the halfway point and our first very divisive song, as this is the 3rd Highest SD
It's also another non-single (TOMH, BOM, & Shadow)
IMO I'm surprised this is out before Outrageous & MATM, though not completely
It's also upsetting cause it's my first top 5 victim

[bat1990]

WHAT?!?!??!?!? "Showdown" is out already?!?!?!??!

A Plague upon all your houses!!!!!!

[Au$tin]

Outrageous and MATM need to GTFO.

Out of the three non-singles left, Shadow better be the one leaving next. The other two not making the top five would be a tragedy.

Track #10 off the album is the only other ballad the album offers aside from Everytime and imo this is just as beautifully done. Though I believe it lives in the literal shadow of Everytime, the performance for it on the Onyx Hotel Tour was really pretty. Anyways I'm judging the bottom rankers 

[Au$tin]

Phew. I like Shadow well enough, but the only two track remaining that shouldn't be above it are the first and last single. So given that #7 had to be a non-single, this is the only forgivable one.

[Glove Slap]

I remember this being a fan favorite at the time, but it's always mostly been one of those 'just there' tracks for me. I think it's the chorus, it never delivers on the verses.

[Deleted]

Anyways I'm really tied today, so tomorrow I'll pick up with #6 onwards
So I'll leave you all with some more performances

[SHOOTER]

Shadow is my favorite Britney ballad hands down but I knew it would get shafted here.

[.indulgecountry]

"Shadow" is absolutely gorgeous.



This performance basically paved the way for P!nk to still have a career today.

[Zeebz]

omg wait totally thought I submitted for this?

Ugh @ "(I Got That) Boom Boom" already being out. Definitely one of my favorites from the album.

[born]

“Shadow” was awesome. Deserved better.

[Deleted]

Ready to pick up with tonight's reveals starting with #6
#6 is our 1st single to be lost, it is the 2nd Lowest SD

Outrageous or MATM please.

It's gotta be one of them. I can't see Everytime or Toxic not being the top two or at least top three.

Nope as far as I remember and looking back at messages
I only got a submission from you for the Femme Fatale Rankdown

Though, it could be possible I missed it, though I don't think I did.
I'll tag you as a watcher though

[.indulgecountry]

I imagine "Outrageous" will be the first single out.

The lead single and the opening track of the album, Me Against The Music is the start of the era and a collab with Madonna. The song was a worldwide hit though except in the US where it was hindered as it was the last song on US radio to be negatively affected by Clear Channel's blacklisting of her music. Though for what it was worth it was her best performing single during the whole radio ban, peaking at #11 on Pop radio and #35 on the Hot 100. The song itself was heavily performed by Britney and has been apart of 3 of her shows since it's release (Onyx Hotel, Circus, & Piece Of Me). IMO it's a total jam and a fun start to the record, a great lead single.

[.indulgecountry]

Before "Outrageous"? Mess.

Thanks for tagging me as a watcher! I figured out where the discrepancy happened. I submitted my rankdown in the same PM as the Femme Fatale one so it might’ve gotten lost in the shuffle! No worries though!

Here’s my list just for reference haha:

"Outrageous" isn't it 

Anywho next up #5, the Highest SD of the rankdown and the 2nd single to be lost
We lose a #1 rank and three #14's will be lost, which will leave only TWO #14's left in the rankdown

Still having fun following, though!

The 4th and final single off the album is a R.Kelly penned urban-pop track. It was set to be the fourth single with a full video and everything, however Britney suffered from a major knee injury during the video shoot. This resulted in the video never being finished and the remainder of the Onyx Hotel Tour to be cancelled as a direct result. Many people also believe her weakened dancing ability in the years following attributes in part due to this injury. IMO, the song itself is catchy and fun, but Breathe On Me, Shadow, I Got That, or Touch Of My Hand should've been a single over it.
