Since 1999, Britney Spears has been a force to be reckoned with in the music industry. We had already fallen in love with her on the Mickey Mouse Club, and fans were excited to hear more from the pint sized talent. Her first CD, “…Baby One More Time,” was an instant success, with the title track taking radio by storm.
She followed her debut with “Oops!…I Did it Again.” The title said it all, Britney Spears was not going to have a couple of hits and fade into obscurity. She was securing fans for life and more hit songs then anyone could have predicted.
Britney’s third CD was simply titled “Britney.” It was the first CD where fans really felt like they were getting to see a personal side of the star. It showed maturity as an artist and performer. “In The Zone,” her fourth CD, took it a step further and showed Britney as an adult. She let us in on little peaks of her break up with Justin Timberlake and she definitely showed a sexier side.
The next two CDs came out while Britney Spears was having quite a few issues in her personal life. Her every move became tabloid fodder, and it was obvious that there were some mental health issues that had gotten out of hand. Anyone who has personally dealt with mental illness, or is close to people who have knows, that this is no laughing matter. During this time, she released “Blackout” and “Circus.” These titles were very telling, and while there are still hit singles on both records, it didn’t seem as personal as the previous two albums.
As a fan, I am hoping Femme Fatale will bring all of this full circle. Britney’s life is back under control and she seems happy and healthy. Until we can hear it all, let’s rank all of her past songs! Remember, these are songs just off of her 7 regular studio albums.
