The First Anniversary of 'Till The World Ends'
The second single from 'Femme Fatale' was unleashed on 3rd March 2011, becoming yet another massive US top 3 hit for Britney. The single went #1 in 6 countries as well as going top 10 in 24 counties. It was ranked the 27th most successful single of 2011 and has sold over 5.4 million copies worldwide.
'Till The World Ends' was backed by two videos directed by Ray Kay, featuring Britney's underground 'end of world' rave on 21st December 2012, with one video focusing on choreography entitled 'Dance Till The World Ends.'
While Britney nabbed the 2011 Best Pop Video MTV Video Music Award with the video for 'Till The World Ends,' with her gritty dance moves and leather duds, beating out Adele and Katy Perry, even the Britney bashers could deny the super-charged star-burst synthesizers and the iconic "woah-oh-oh" chant along of the party jam for the post-apocalyptic future. The song received high praise from critics, not only reminding everyone that Britney is still capable of making truly terrific pop music, but that, really, she never stopped.

It's right behind (You Drive Me) Crazy as my favorite Britney song. I didn't really use FF, but this song is a great pop track. And it had the best remix of its time as well.
