Ah, young Britters. The contemporary queen of pop, the darling of every gossip rag on the shelves, the original good girl gone batshit insane. Nothing can compare to that nasally, robotic voice, and no one will ever forget the grown-up kiss you shared with pop's favourite attention whore Madonna, or the red PVC all-in-one you once wore so demurely. We do love you. After a decade in the biz, she's the releasing 'The Singles Collection', which boasts, well, exactly that: eighteen classic Britney tracks, thoughtfully compiled on compact disc for your listening pleasure. Some excellent, fine-tuned pop ('Stronger', 'Boys', 'Toxic', 'Piece of Me' and 'Circus') nestles amongst the dodgy mush we'd rather forget ('Born To Make You Happy', 'I'm Not A Girl, Not Yet a Woman' and 'Everytime'), but all-in-all, the singles compilation is a journey through a blossoming career in pop, and is the musical equivalent to a wine and cheese party.
