Coming in at #2................................................






















2. Dirrty (featuring Redman)

Average Score: 9.48
Highest Score: 10 (x16)
Lowest Score: 7.5 (x1)

Dirrty was released as the lead single from Stripped. It became notorious for its highly-sexualized David LaChapelle video which was bashed by critics. Linda Perry, upon seeing the video, famously asked her “Are you high? This is annoying. Why are you doing this?”. Christina decided to misspell Dirrty as a way of personalizing it, and also considered other spellings like Dirtee and Dirrdy. While becoming a smash #1 hit in the UK, it ended its US chart run at #48 becoming her first single to miss the Top 3 on the Hot 100. Christina later recorded a sequel to Dirrty called Still Dirrty for her third album Back to Basics.

A big thank you to everyone who participated! It's been a lot of fun.

Order has been restored to the forum.

Believe it or not, Dirrty was actually winning for a long time. It was only near the end when it got a few 9s that it got pushed back to second place.

I had a horrible dream last night. I actually dreamt "Dirrty" had won and all the Christina stans made fun of those who voted for Britney. I'm so glad that I woke up to find "Toxic" had won.

E-Mail My Heart would be the rightful winner. Everyone can relate to it after all.

Well that depends on if you're putting your heart into said PM when sending it, and I would say if you can truly stand behind your scores within said PM, only then can can you say you've emailed your heart. So with that in mind, if you really do understand the meaning behind album rates, and the effort that should go into giving what you feel is indeed the right score (putting your heart into said PM [email]), then I guess theoretically yes, because of its amazingly relatable nature in this circumstance, E-Mail My Heart has to receive a 10 from everyone, for their scores to even be valid in the first place!
