Pick a Side and Play On
Long before music was streamed and algorithms picked your favourites, you picked your side. You were Team Mel B or Team Mel C. You knew exactly why Christina Aguilera had more range, or why Britney was the queen of the charts. These were the showdowns that didn’t just fill the airwaves, they took over the playground, our bedrooms and our weekend magazine quizzes.
At Zingo Bingo, we’re always down for a little friendly competition. So let’s revisit the chart battles that defined a generation and see which stars still rule your dauber to this day.
