1. Britney Spears, “Hold It Against Me”

    “Hold It Against Me” is prime Spears, packed with aggressive electro jitters, a Euro-cheese riff that’s strangely close to AC/DC’s “Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap.” The first single from her upcoming seventh album, the song recalls the synth-gloom ambience of Britney’s 2007 gem, “Blackout,” possibly the most influential pop album of the last five years. “Hold it Against Me” promises great things for her album, aside from the overall jaw-drop factor that Spears has hung in there to make a seventh album at all.
