Genie in a Bottle (1999)
Christina Aguilera
Rating: 4.2
A blatantly sexual song, I still find "Genie in a Bottle" to be a perfect guilty pleasure: catchy, obviously a pop song, with little real substance behind the lyrics. Even now, Christina has the talent to pump out such classics, though they're becoming slightly more mature (though not by much).
This song was pretty important to the 90's, and I don't think I could imagine how things would have been without this song. Though her musical style was somewhat similar to that of Britney Spears, her vocals were (and still are) strong and enchanting; any background accompaniment that isn't vocal is almost rendered unnecessary, as she steals all of the listener's attention.
(Side note: this song isn't part of the main 1001.)
