Genie in a Bottle – Christina Aguilera
"Genie in a Bottle" was the lead single on Christina Aguilera's self-titled debut album (1999). Its worldwide success made the young songstress a household name.
The two-measure programmed drum loop was used throughout the song. It featured a displaced clave pattern on the hi-hat and a rapid bass drum phrase in the second measure. Don’t attempt this with a single bass drum pedal!
