In what probably surprised a lot of people, the legendary miss Britney Spears has debuted at number one on the Billboard Hot 100 and Canada Hot 100 Chart's, breaking Billboard's own record. The last time an artist debuted at number one was nearly three years ago, not to mention the past few artists were none other than American Idol's. (How the hell did Taylor Hicks Do That)
"3" is nothing special. It is a straight forward mainstream radio friendly pop song, that gets it's charms from the hit maker that is Max Martin. Max was responsible for being the primary producer of "Baby One More Time" and "Oops... I Did It Again". He also produced some of "Britney", before being cut off, because she wanted something more mature. He later re-invented himself with hits from Kelly Clarkson and Katy Perry. After seven years, he and Britney teamed up again and created the moderate success "If U Seek Amy", which was released as the third single off of Brit's sixth studio album "Circus" earlier this year.
Without any doubt, "3"'s stand point is the slow down in the middle, which is complemented by Britney's auto-tuned voice. The song is about threesomes, so it is of course the classic, princess of pop pushing the boundary's as usual.. That is why we love Britney Spears.
After all, there is a reason she is the number one female artist of this decade.
"3" is the first (and probably) only single to be released off of her upcoming second greatest hits album "The Singles Collection" due to compete with Lady Gaga's re-release on November 24th.
