Is Britney Spears Tier 1? (with Molly Mary O'Brien, Jason King, Doreen St. Félix, Ann Powers, Caryn Ganz, & Troy McEady)

We've finally arrived! After four episodes and nearly ten hours of discussion and dissection, Pop Pantheon's Britney Spears Mega Series concludes with the big question: Is Britney Spears in Tier 1 of the Pantheon? To parse that out, Louie and Russ are joined by friend of the pod Molly Mary O'Brien to pull at this debate from every possible angle. Throughout the nearly two-hour (!!!) debate, they also hear from Dean of USC's Thornton School of Music's Jason King regarding his thoughts on Britney, her legacy, her ranking, and the Pantheon in general, along with ranking opinions from every past guest of the series including The New Yorker 's Doreen St. Félix, NPR 's Ann Powers, The New York Times ' Caryn Ganz and Beyond the Blinds ' Troy McEady. Finally, Louie ranks Britney Spears in the official Pop Pantheon.
