Britney Spears was the driving force behind the return of teen pop in the late '90s. She was, and still is, a true pop phenomenon. Not only did she sell millions of records, she was a media fixture regardless of what she was doing. Her celebrity star power was rivaled only by Jennifer Lopez.
Britney Jean Spears began performing as a singer and dancer at a young age. Spears' debut album, "Baby One More Time," was released in early 1999. It entered the charts at number one and stayed there for six weeks. Once the lead single died down, the album kept spinning off hits: the Top Ten "(You Drive Me) Crazy," "Sometimes," and the Top 20 "From the Bottom of My Broken Heart”. Britney Spears' sex appeal is an important part of her image. The video for her debut single, "Baby One More Time," sent her well on the way to becoming an international sex symbol.
Oops...I Did It Again appeared in the spring of 2000, and the title track was an instant smash, racing into the Top Ten. The album entered the charts at number one and sold over a million copies in its first week of release. Rumors that Spears was dating N Sync heartthrob Justin Timberlake were eventually confirmed, which only added to the media attention lavished on her.
On the personal front, Spears has had a string of failed relationships, and even a bizarre two-day marriage to Jason Alexander. She recently filed for divorce with husband Kevin Federline, with whom she has two children.
