Her image. I listened to the CD 2 days ago and the only reason I enjoyed it was because of the sentiment and memories attached to it. Christina's debut was identical in sound.
Christina and N'SNYC(or whatever) weren't so big WW so..
In that time everyone loves Britney,kids,teens,grandmothers,even some guys who seems they don't like pop music,just everyone obsessed with her,no one will take that from her,only MJ peak of popularity was bigger and music was catchy,amazing videos,she was amazing influence to all girls around the world,sweet personality,talent and bunch of promo all around the world,when you mix that you got perfect era!Imagine that Sometimes,(YDM)Crazy,BTMYH were released pshyicaly in USA
You guys shouldn't discredit Britney. Her work ethic had a lot to do with it. If she was just your average 17 year old then they wouldn't be able to do what Britney did. The reason why the phenomenon got bigger and kept going was because she always have projects after projects, whether an album, music video, promotion or touring.
Britney toured non-stop. BOMT tour, June - September '99. Crazy tour, March - April '00. Oops tour, June - November '00. ALL when she was a high-schooler. Let's not forget that the interent was barely anything then, so to be successful WW you had to get your ass over there and promote like hell. All the music videos she did non-stop between 1999-2002.
Also, all of the above she needed to learn NEW CHOREO. Imagine in high school you had a learn new choreo all the time for your non-stop touring, promotion and music videos. That's right, you couldn't handle it and even most teen stars couldn't. Look at Christina, Beyonce and Justin's work ethic at the time and compare it to Britney's. They were also a year older than her.

Let's not forget that Britney certainly benefitted off the success and breakup (Geri leaving) of the Spice Girls which happened to coincide with her debut. It's not as if Britney created a genre, or a fan base. That audience was there they just needed a solo singer to latch onto, and with the Spice Girl's releasing a farewell single (Goodbye), it was perfect timing for Britney to smash.
People were obsessed with her, that's for sure for all the reasons you've mentioned. However not to shade her, but I don't think anyone has honestly liked her for her talent first and foremost. That has never been part of her success. I'm sure some stans will say otherwise, but I doubt talent is what attracted her to them.
And are we forgetting the peak of Madonna? I think it's safe to say that Madonna has had a bigger peak and more of them.
Because shes the queen of pop, everybody deal with it
Don't be delusional.
