I know a girl who has a picture in her locker saying, "If Britney can make it through 2007, you can make it through today."
I think it has to do with her early fairytale life combining with her downfall and resurrection. A lot of girls can relate to the whole "fell down, but I can rise again" story she's lived through. Plus I still know a bunch of girls who still gawk over her relationship with Justin Timberlake for some reason. The amount of times I've seen my friends post that awful picture of them in those denim outfits....
I also think it's because for many of us born in the 90's, Britney was one of our most early memories in terms of music and pop culture.
Britney vs. Xtina is the PERFECT example of how talent =/= quality.
There was a reason why the latter never could get a diamond album while the former managed to get 2. And to go back to Damien M's post, yes, Sometimes is indeed better than XPIRED's discography.
Avril had such a massive impact. Gosh I remember clearly how the school girls literally segregated between the ones who were into Britney, Beyonce, etc and the ones who were into Avril, Evanescence etc
Evanscence was so big . I remember thinking that wake me up song was so deep
All the girls in my middle school dropped Xtina after some girl (prob. a Beyonce stan) said only ugly people like her because of Reflection and Beautiful
Um Britney's Oops album is actually amazing. So are some of the ITZ tracks. Otherwise, it's the singles where it's at.
I don't see what's so groundbreaking about Blackout. It's just generic pop beats engineered for the gay clubs.
Yet these days she's outselling all those girls combined
Also Beyonce personal life and celebrity status were so irrelevant back then while J.Global and her relationships was all everyone was talking about, so weird to think all of that happened 10 years ago
