Its productions are rooted in today's pop-EDM default mode [...]".[144] Andrew Hampp of Billboard wrote: "[...] is a collection of 11 shinily produced pop songs that find Gomez trying on a series of different personalities with her slight-yet-capable vocals [...]".[145] Stars Dance became her first album to debut at number one on the U.S. Billboard 200, with first-week sales of 97,000 album-equivalent units.[97] At that time, Gomez, who turned 21, became the youngest solo artist to take first place since Speak Now from Taylor Swift in 2010.[97] The album also reached number one in Canada.[93] Gomez incorporated choreographed dance routines into the album's music videos and her promotional live performances, having been inspired by artists such as Janet Jackson and Britney Spears.[146][147] The music video of "Come & Get It" won the Best Pop Video at the 2013 MTV Video Music Awards.[148]

Insider weighed factors like listenability, lyrical quality, production value, and critic reception to come up with the 10 best and 10 worst songs of the singer's career thus far, including tracks from her latest album.
Gomez has historically had trouble making non-irritating dance anthems. Much of her early discography was populated by excessive EDM-flavored songs, most of which felt like sequined outfits she was handed to try on. In recent years, she has triumphed when she ignores that urge and bucks radio trends.
"Round & Round" falls victim to the same overwrought maximalism that doomed many of Gomez's early songs. Adding more synths and extra layers of production does not automatically make an electro-pop song compelling. In fact, the excessive production here makes it the opposite, giving it a bloated and lazy effect.
