'Break The Ice' is brilliant but it would've placed higher on my list if it had been double the length. When the beat drops out at "I like this part" it never actually returns, but that whole section doesn't feel like an outro, it feels like a proper dance music break, building back up to the beat's triumphant return, and it feels like you're just getting to the amazing moment when it drops back in when...the song ends.

(On the subject of Britney, after living with Circus for a while, the one song that I go back to in a "must have on repeat" sorta way is 'Amnesia'.)
