Oops!…I Did It AgainBritney Spears
Britney Spears, a pop icon who defined the early 2000s.
This song was included on her second album and served as its opening track.

HeavenDJ Sammy & Yanou featuring Do
An incredibly refreshing, heaven-sent banger from DJ Sammy, hailing from Mallorca, Spain.
The vocals, with their almost teenage-like tone, are energetic and super cute! It’s a literally feel-good, get-you-moving track—my top pick in trance music.
If you’ve been avoiding trance because it feels “too intense,” this one’s especially for you.
Highly recommended.
