* Stronger is the perfect example how the music industry has changed as it was the highest selling single of the album while only selling 500,000 copies. While right now, artists can sell millions of singles but cannot even get a certification in their albums. No Shade. The Truth.
My Queen!!!! Such an underrated album nowadays It should be higher, hopefully all Britney CDs are in!
