Other than
Not so ironic, all made it to the top 40, but most pretty much stopped there.
Britney needs few more albums and she will definitely become among the Top 5 most successful female artists of ALL TIME. She's already the youngest one in that list.
She has accomplished a lot in so little time, looks like Britney is here to stay. I really want her to come back as strong as we all wish she would. Once she gets her kids back, we can officially say that the trainwreck era is over, right?
