Britney Spears', "Ciricus"
The Lyrics:
There's only two types of people out there.....
Why:
The correct english grammar is 'There 'are' only two types of people out there' If something is plural, you're meant to use 'are' For eg: my foot is sore or my feet are sore. Not my feet is sore....

Britney Spears', "Unusual You"
The Lyrics:
There’s so many things, when I was someone else
Why:
I've heard this many times, it should be "There ARE so many things" and in this song it should be "There WERE so many things, because she's talking a bout the past, not only it should be plural, but also past.
