14. Britney Spears' 'Baby One More Time' was turned down by TLC
TLC were offered the song that kickstarted Britney's stellar career but they knew it wasn't right for them. T-Boz explained, "I was like, I like the song but do I think it’s a hit? Do I think it’s TLC? I’m not saying ’hit me baby.’ No disrespect to Britney, it’s good for her. But was I going to say ’hit me baby one more time’? Hell no! Every song isn’t good for each artist. So, I’m clear that it was a hit, but I’m also clear that it wasn’t for TLC.” (Pictures: YouTube/Getty)
