In their heyday, The Beatles were the center of the pop universe. Many groups have been hailed as the next Beatles, but does pop music even have a center anymore? Who represents the core of pop music to you?

Britney Spears.

Really, though, the nature of the modern music scene is that people are choosing to be more idiosyncratic in their tastes, now - there's a reason why people turn to classic rock songs when they want commonality. Spears may be the biggest figure in pop right now (or in the recent past), but 'big' is smaller now.

I totally agree. I think Britney Spears is the center of the pop universe, regardless of whether or not she is liked. Back in '95, she made it and the title has stuck. "Miss American Dream since I was seventeen..." totally true.

That said, I do like "Toxic" (but not the music video).

(P.S. That is one awesome icon! Who is it?)

thank you! and I'm definitely a closet Britney fan, haha. I have no idea who the person is, I got it from a random icon community :?
