Britney Spears

Did I miss the opportunity to throw "Work Bitch" into the ring as one of her worst ever singles?

It's pretty middle of the road to me. I still bop to it frequently, mostly when I'm at the gym or going for a run, and it works really well as the opener in Vegas. It's obviously nowhere near as brilliant as Gimme More, Slave, Toxic, Oops, etc. It's certainly no Make Me, which has quickly become one of my favourite Britney singles ever.

...come to think of it, I guess Work Bitch is one of her worst singles, but that says more about her impressive single output. Pretty Girls and Ooh La La are the bottom of the barrel for me, but then I genuinely like or love every other single that she's released. Work Bitch and Perfume are both in the lower half of that list.
 
I've always loved Work Bitch for what it is but I'm surprised at the amount of people I've come across that actually know of it. Must be from all the Spotify workout playlists.
 
Ten years from now Work Bitch will still be remembered while Make Me will not. I hardly ever listen to Make Me anymore. There are so many better songs on Glory that should have been the first single.
