5 old school Britney Spears hits to jam to before her first ever concert in Singapore

So you’ve heard the news that Britney Spears is finally making her concert debut in Singapore. If you were super psyched and called all your friends immediately to share the good news, only to realize tour details hadn’t been announced, here’s a much-anticipated update.

Yep, the Princess of Pop will perform on June 30 at the Singapore Indoor Stadium — with tickets going on sale May 18. And given it’s her first time on our shores — if the previous Coldplay chaos and Ed Sheeran madness are anything to go by — you should probably come up with at least 10 backup plans before that day rolls around. Or else you’ll end up re-watching her old YouTube videos instead of catching a glimpse of her on stage.

So before you get excited about having all your childhood dreams come true, take a stroll down nostalgia lane with these late-’90s-early-’00s hits by Britney Spears. (Because who really knows any of her new songs?)

…Baby One More Time (1998)

The teenybopper chart-topper that started it all, this high school-set video was the one that introduced Britney to the world. FYI, she sings the word ‘baby’ 25 times in the track, which is apparently about 30 times lesser than young Justin Bieber crooned in ‘Baby’.

Sometimes (1999)

Britney dances her way through everything. Even this song. Which is a ballad.

Oops!… I Did It Again (2000)

Who can forget that red latex bodysuit? That dance routine on Mars? That cheesy dialogue interlude? That Titanic reference?

I’m A Slave 4 U (2001)

It’s goodbye, innocent schoolgirl Britney; hello, all-grown-up sexpot. Re-watch this vid if you’re into bumping, grinding, gyrating and massive amounts of oil (sweat?) on slick bodies. Also, Britney really loved those super-low hip-huggers.

Toxic (2003)

That bedazzled nude jumpsuit. ‘Nuff said. (And let’s not forget the dance routine that recently resurfaced, thanks to a flight attendant who did a sassy tribute to Spears).

Britney Spears performs on June 30, 8pm at Singapore Indoor Stadium. $188-$568. Tickets go on sale on May 18 at noon.
