Britney Spears - “Toxic”

For many people, this is their favorite Britney song/video. And it’s easy to see why — This is Britney at her best.

I mean, come on… Britney as a female assassin? Hot. Britney naked and covered in crystals? Hot. Britney with bright red hair on a motorcycle with Tyson Beckford? Hot. Everything about this video is hot, so it’s no wonder that some of her recent videos — like “Womanizer” and “Break the Ice” — have tried to capture again what made “Toxic” so great.

And it certainly helps that the song is insanely catchy, fun, and danceable (the girl won a Grammy for “Toxic,” for goodness’ sake), and even non-Britney fans can’t deny it’s magical pop power.
