Check out "I Got The..." by Labi Siffre for an Eminem sample, and "Footsteps in the Dark" by The Isley Brothers for a classic Ice Cube sample as well as a Thundercat sample. Samples are everywhere in music and these days they're often paid for, unlike the heyday of the early 90s where so many people were sampling everything in the lawless west of copyright.

[@brainey001]

Those years almost everyone in the pop industry were inspired by indian sounds... That phase lasted about 3 years 2002-2005 and then never came back again because then it became all about pop rock 2006-2009 and then it became all about dance pop 2010-2013 then it became about synthpop 2014-2017 and then about hip hop pop 2018-2020. Everything lasts 3 years so we are looking for a shift at the end of this year (finally....hip hop/rap pop is terrible)

[@jong9379]

we are now in mumble rap, soft spoken pop phase

[@VanquishMediaDE]

Dance pop from that time was just Eurodance. And Synth Pop was Synthwave (1980s genre). Eurodance is still very popular here in Europe I go to the Discotek often.

[@brainey001]

Vanquish Media . It may be popular there but not seen anywhere on the global streaming or sales charts . Everything goes on exactly as i said it. Mainstream music is a never ending bandwagon cycle that resets every 3 years and at the end of it all the kids jump on a brand new trend. Today is billie eilish, in 3 years nobody will remember her name

[@rads3586]

That wasn't news for me. Having a lot of friends who are musicians or composers and work in this industry, there are so many hit American and British songs which are based on either Indian classical music or bollywood. And the vice-versa is also true; Indian musicians have also been stealing a lot of music from the west.

[@lenchenes]

Thats the beauty of art and entertainment... u get inspiration from west to east and vice versa.

[@alexanderostman4465]

@@jakehowathmsp2098 Like someone else mentioned in another comment. Depends on what a "big hit" is considered as. Slave 4 U was "only" 27 at its peak on Billboard. By Britney standards it was regarded as pretty moderate, so Oops would be her previous smash hit, at least in the US, which was 3 and a half years before Toxic.

Ok, first of all Toxic is not the greatest hit of her career. She has more than one hit, that’s why she is so successful and opened many doors for what pop is nowadays.

[@taintedlife2618]

Juan Carlos Dena what doors? More like Madonna opened those doors for her. What is her biggest hit then? I fee like this is her best song although I like Everytime.

[@mohsen2327]

Tainted Life her biggest hit is baby one more time. It sold so much more than toxic, but because toxic is pretty modern, it’s played on the radio more often

thank-you insider for bringing it to everyone's notice! 🙏

[@mp4c12winning]

“Critics said her career was slumping” her forth studio album sold 10 million copies world wide, five years into her career. Imagine calling that slumping. To put in perspective Beyoncé’s debut album, which was huge and had one of the most iconic singles ever on that album sold 11 million copies world wide. And they were both released in 2003.

[@tubeytube1961]

HotelOnyX they literally did call that slumping back in that time. If anything sold less than the artist had previously sold, it would be over the magazines etc

[@evilluniticboy]

The did criticise her career sales at the time, though. It was stupid because she was still mostly outselling or selling on par with fresh mainstream talent at the time. She even criticised the media for this by pointing this out in an interview around the time.

[@johanthomas8430]

In the zone sold already 8 million copies by the end of 2004, which was also a increase in album sales as her third album, Britney sold 5 million by the end of 2001 or 2002. So thats like a 3 million in sales increase that the critics called "slumped". BTW, beyonces debut album Sol only 5 million copies around that time which is amazing.

[@tintin11th22]

Wrong. "In the Zone" completely outgrossed Beyonce's album.

I don't think this song would have worked if anyone else sang it. The main thing in this song is Britney's voice, that signature breathy voice which adds mystery element, a sense of hope, like a girl that shows what you are missing and if you go with her, you will get everything, without her voice this song would have not sounded good..
