This is part four of five, and the Britney songs were ON.

20. ’Till The World Ends’ - Britney Spears

Every Britney song from this era was amazing. There is no escaping this. Perhaps all four should have been The List and have done with it. But no, one had to place the lowest. It is most certainly one of Britney’s best ever ever singles though.

19. ’We Found Love’ - Rihanna

The post-chorus rave up is out of this world. This won’t be remembered as one RiRi’s best long term but it’s easy to see why this is one of the biggest hits of the year.

18. ’E.T.’ - Katy Perry

Made better by the video and then again by Little Mix’s performance on The X Factor this is my fave KP song from all of Teenage Dream. And no, ‘Last Friday Night (T.G.I.F)’ is not on this list sozzles.

17. ’Criminal’ - Britney Spears

Flawless Britney song is flawless. It was like Music/American Life era Madonna had been resurrected inside Britney, except The Queen is still very much alive and our Princess just did a very good job of replicating that amazing sound.

16. ’All Fired Up’ - The Saturdays

Xenomania cheat on Girls Aloud with The Saturdays and the result is this fairly generic but overall addictive dance song. Altogether now: ON YOUR RAIDER, GIBBY GIBBY GIBBY ON YOUR RAIDER…

15. ’Louder’ - Parade

This is such a basic pop song and yet it has such an infectious element to it, you can’t help but come back for more.

14. ’The Edge of Glory’ - Lady Gaga

I’m still far from keen on the saxophone element (DOWN WITH SAX IN POP ETC), and Kitty Off Of X Factor tainted this slightly in my eyes, but this song is almost perfect. The song that will probably be remembered most fondly from the Born This Way era.

13. ’On The Floor’ - Jennifer Lopez

The sample that almost didn’t work ended up working very well indeed. The version I play is without Pitbull because he is awful. You should all do the same because let’s face it, you get a middle 8 then and who doesn’t like them? Pitbull that’s who. :((((

12. ’Hold It Against Me’ - Britney Spears

HEY. OVER THERE. PLEASE FORGIVE ME. IF I’M COMING ON TOO STRONG. Sang Britney through her nose. But hey, this is a Britney song with a motherfucking dubstep breakdown, and that is pop science that cannot be argued with.

11. ’Marry The Night’ - Lady Gaga

I knew this would be special when the instrumental track was played on one of the Gagavision episodes. I was not disappointed. The video was also a triumph. After about the 8 minute mark.

Coming soon: 10-1
