8. Hit Me Baby One More Time Britney Spears
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C-u5WLJ9Yk4 The end of the 90s was defined by many things, but mostly it was defined by the introduction of Britney Spears; the bouncy all-American blonde, innocent girl who made her debut with Hit Me Baby One More Time. The song begins with the famous three piano notes and oh baby, baby the repetition of this is almost as well known as the song itself. It seems that baby baby-Britney would now be the go-to girl for teen music with her iconic video; dressed in school wear with massive fluffy pink bobbles and pig-tails, it created the sweet-girl-innocence the song was looking for. Because really, what does Hit Me Baby One More Time really mean? Domestic abuse? Giving her another hit of sex, or heroin? Because as she states in the chorus she is losing her mind, and if she knew she was going to be without her hit she would not have let it golike some masochistic drug addict. Of course because some sweet American-blonde wearing pink - like some future Miss America is saying this, we are supposed to think she is talking about love (she probably is). With 93 million YouTube views and 10 million copies sold worldwide, the video was a very big reason for its success. After all who can argue with a Catholic schoolgirl in pigtails with her stomach and bra on show?
