haha she took the longest to record this. She's a really good singer.

I'm leaning on her image and her music.

Her image was something. It was copied by so many popstars back then.

But also the music because Baby One More Time, Sometimes and Crazy were catchy as hell.

The album isn't really that great but that's what leads you to stardom, the singles. Gaga's PF and JD were huge like Adele's RITD and SLY. Some may not agree but the singles are always the first indication of success with a very few exceptions like Norah Jones.

Music - it's one of her worst albums
The image - a little
The perfomances - her performance were bleh back then
The world was obssesed with her - this !

I wish I could've been old enough to see Britney-mania when it was happening. I was born 3 months after the album release.

Not you making me feel old

It sold 24M. No more, no less - certifications agree.

And she was a project for teen pop by her label, which was massive back then. Everything about that album (which her label made for her) was on point. To this day she is still the face of teen pop because of that

[sunny phoenix]

one reason was her personality.... no matter her succes britney was always britney so HUMBLE like a god....all the otehr popostars act like attention seekers, divas and spoiled brats... britney never, thats why she is so loved

[HeavenMonster]

Her days there wans't such a thing as a illegal download and she was "it girl" like Gaga was with The Fame because she was everythere with it same goes with Britney and she was fresh pop gilr in the game.

She had a string of four big hits, and album sales in general were at their historical peak.

Why has Britney become the face of teen pop when BSB and Spice Girls were just as successful? Is it because of her starpower that she punched them out and is influencing and impacting almost all the teen artists since today?

[FatShady]

You're all wrong. It was because back then it was harder to find singles. If you had one hit single thats all you needed. Of course the fact that she had that and she was a pretty traditional white girl who was a former disney princess helped.

You're confusing it with Oops! I Did It Again, maybe? 'Cause Baby sold 14 million copies in the U.S alone, and Britney back then was much more global than she is now; she sold more than half of her sales outside of the U.S. It's at 26-27 million sold - 30 million shipped.
