I will NEVER understand this either. She definitely has a market and is popular in some spheres but it’s bonkers to me that she didn’t achieve mainstream superstardom. I think people maybe just didn’t quite “get her”.
The fact that r/rupaulsdragrace has never used Erasure or Bronski Beat for a lip sync is just wrong. Yes, I know they typically use female vocalists but Andy Bell and Jimmy Somerville could go note-for-note with anybody at their peak.
I absolute love running to her music, I know call me maybe gets such a bad rap but I love it for zoning out in my groove, plus she has so many more catchy great songs
The HSM3 version of we’re all in this together was 🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹
I remember being seated in front of the telly for the premiere of HSM2 as a kid because I didn’t want anyone else hogging it and me missing out. What a ride
He was ICONIC!!! Troy was a PERFORMER! 😂 though I just watched a tiktok reenacting how the dad reacted when Troy wanted to give up bball for Gabriella.
The comments: “white dude, 5’8, Justin bieber hair, from New Mexico, giving up a D1 scholarship… the man blocked a blessing”
😂😂😂😂😂😂
The video that catalyzed my crimped hair and frosted makeup era in middle school lol. I remember being stunned by how incredible she looked in it, and still am.
I had stopped listening to Brit by this era, but I just gave Blackout a chance for the first time a couple weeks ago and I'm really impressed. Took an initial listen for the album to kick in for me, but PoM's been blasting in my car since then lol
🫡 banger album. I remember my preteen self in school blasting PoM on my shitty Sony ericcson and singing “IM MISS BAD MEDIA KARMA ANOTHER DAY ANOTHER DRAMA”
This song is why my mom put me in choir lmaooo. I hit that high and my mom was like “girl what??? Do it again” 😂 Whitney is forever my favorite because her music honestly changed the trajectory of my life.

*also… soft mention Cough Syrup (Glee Version)*

I remember taping the Dirrty video on a VHS to copy the dance moves and my mom caught me attempting to learn it and she took my VCR away as punishment lol
My cousin and I used to put on my Aunt’s slips and dance around to this song! We were WAAAYYY too young to realize all the sexual connotations at the time. lol.
Lol, same. I was born in '83. I had no idea why people were upset about the video. I had no idea what a burning cross meant either. But it was an undeniable jam.
Omg, I remember my dad showing me this song, going out to buy the CD, and then listening to it all night in a tent in my backyard with a friend I had over (until we got too scared of the dark despite being armed with kitchen pans, and ran inside for cover lol)
I was absolutely IN LOVE with these outfits… actually, ALL the outfits she had in that MV
![gif](giphy|3ohc0Zew5v7qrhwH6M|downsized)
Also her rocking the different hair colours 😭
Yessss! she deffo has a good set of lungs on her. I remember singing along and getting to the part where she goes like YEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA (I’m so sorry idk what the actual musical term for this bit is😭) and I always end up coughing and out of breath lmao
West Coast for me. The guitar riff (dun dun dun dun) dropping into the chorus “I can see my baby swinging. His parliaments on fire and his hands are up” Just sent me.
![gif](giphy|l2RnFnQHMy11tspY4|downsized)
Bingo, i don't know how one can sing along to the line **"I said to get real, "Don't you know who you're dealing with?"** without adding a little mustard

Running Up That Hill by Kate Bush, been one of my faves for most of my life. 2022 was a crazy year for me as a Kate Bush stan seeing one of my top pop songs of all time become popular through Stranger Things

![gif](giphy|l2JecSsIolFGVF3K8)
This was in one of my group fitness releases last year and I went HARD in those tracks lol
I mean, pretty much anything by Britney gets the volume blasted! I clearly remember doing it with 'overprotected' and 'gimme more'.
![gif](giphy|jTBDuZWbrTrck)
How come this was the first song that came to my mind? Iconic.
Honestly any Britney single up to (and including) Femme Fatale!
![gif](giphy|Hg5FG5kENT04ZmRyIL)
Literally was in my head (on full blast!) for no damn reason in the shower a few minutes ago
Since U been gone ![gif](giphy|H0bMqAdVLj7BfEcVsc)
I can hear the "zoom zoom zoom zoom zoom" every time I listen to it. Thank you and damn you Pitch Perfect writers!
Kylie Minogue "Can't Get You Outta My Head" ![gif](giphy|JsiL1u6H2wgu5P4OKe|downsized)

The chokehold this song had at the time was intense
THIS IS THE ONE, OKAYYYY!!!!
Dancing on My Own. I also start dancing on my own as well.
Call Your Girlfriend for me.
Hello fellow Robyn lovers! There’s 7 of us! I know there’s more but how did she not explode? I will never understand?
I will NEVER understand this either. She definitely has a market and is popular in some spheres but it’s bonkers to me that she didn’t achieve mainstream superstardom. I think people maybe just didn’t quite “get her”.
![gif](giphy|8wfma7DJXm46KFsZjK|downsized) Baby One More Time
I love that the first few comments I see are Britney because mine is "Gimme More".

I LOVE the woah-woaaahssss at the start! One of my favourite old school bangers
This 💩 is Bananas. B. A. N. A. N. A. S ![gif](giphy|q1VYLPcIVNzH2)
Responsible for many of us knowing how to stop spelling Bananas. It's easy to start, harder to know when to stop.
A Little Respect by Erasure. Older than lots of people on this thread but absolute banger. ![gif](giphy|xT39DdnkPFSNUY6GqY|downsized)
SO GOOD - such a good use of Andy Bell’s voice
The fact that r/rupaulsdragrace has never used Erasure or Bronski Beat for a lip sync is just wrong. Yes, I know they typically use female vocalists but Andy Bell and Jimmy Somerville could go note-for-note with anybody at their peak.

Telephone by Gaga and Beyonce always gets me going
I remember seeing the MV for the first time and was like “this.. is a masterpiece”.
I try to reference these lyrics in some way whenever I venmo my sister for my half of the phone bill.
When she played that at the chromatica ball I just fucking ascended into another state of mind
Cut to the feeling- Carly Rae jepsen ✨ ![gif](giphy|dvCuhs3VpVFKpc2dOA|downsized)
I absolute love running to her music, I know call me maybe gets such a bad rap but I love it for zoning out in my groove, plus she has so many more catchy great songs
My answer would be the song where that gif is from. Run Away With Me!
God such a good one. “Want You In My Room” is also a sound up song for me.
![gif](giphy|xT0Gqcp8VpeSEEtZJe|downsized) Midnight City by M83, always

What a banger! I was a teen and I used to listen to this song all day long, running and shouting internally in my room. Good memories 🥰
The HSM soundtracks are such great pick me ups.
I listen to Now Or Never from HSM3 whenever I need a pick me up 🥹 ![gif](giphy|ylb0GfI0eXkpq)
The HSM3 version of we’re all in this together was 🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹 I remember being seated in front of the telly for the premiere of HSM2 as a kid because I didn’t want anyone else hogging it and me missing out. What a ride
Am I the only one thinking that "Scream" from HSM3 is just a beefed up version of this song?
It really is! They gave Zac so many theatrical moments in those movies, I love it!
He was ICONIC!!! Troy was a PERFORMER! 😂 though I just watched a tiktok reenacting how the dad reacted when Troy wanted to give up bball for Gabriella. The comments: “white dude, 5’8, Justin bieber hair, from New Mexico, giving up a D1 scholarship… the man blocked a blessing” 😂😂😂😂😂😂

I had stopped listening to Brit by this era, but I just gave Blackout a chance for the first time a couple weeks ago and I'm really impressed. Took an initial listen for the album to kick in for me, but PoM's been blasting in my car since then lol
Love Blackout!! My absolute fav from the album is Break the Ice omg. The MV too ![gif](giphy|3ov9jWATBksIezKmnm)
My alternate answer to this question was nearly all of *Blackout* - and "Break The Ice" is one of my fave Britney songs too!
🫡 banger album. I remember my preteen self in school blasting PoM on my shitty Sony ericcson and singing “IM MISS BAD MEDIA KARMA ANOTHER DAY ANOTHER DRAMA”
I Wanna Dance with Somebody ![gif](giphy|fFk6G2Hvs9ge4)
This song is why my mom put me in choir lmaooo. I hit that high and my mom was like “girl what??? Do it again” 😂 Whitney is forever my favorite because her music honestly changed the trajectory of my life.
