Rob Sheffield, Rolling Stone (USA) - Every Britney Spears Song Ranked (2022)

Lists by single critics or musicians, published in magazines or on websites, have lower priority. The amount of such lists would be impossible to handle.
(However, priority is given to single author lists from books, very famous music critics and artists with albums or songs ranked on Acclaimed Music. Single author lists are also more likely to get priority if they are not limited to a genre or artist.)

I'm annoyed that after Rob Sheffield introduced me to "Sometimes" via the '90s songs list, whereupon it instantly became my favorite Britney Spears song and the one by which I judge all the rest, he doesn't even have the decency to put it in the top twenty here. Shameful.
