The singer, born in McComb, Mississippi, December 2, 1981, is considered to have influenced the rise of teen pop during the late 1990s and early 2000s.
She has sold more than 150 million records worldwide, making her one of the best-selling music artists in the world.
Received Many Awards
Britney Spears has received many awards and accolades, including a Grammy Award, 15 Guinness World Records, six MTV Video Music Awards and seven Billboard Music Awards (including the Millennium Award).
Then, she also won the inaugural Radio Disney Icon Award, and a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Her choreographed music videos earned her the Michael Jackson Video Vanguard Award.
After appearing in stage productions and television series, Spears signed with Jive Records in 1997 at the age of fifteen.
Best-Selling Albums of All Time
Spears' first two studio albums, ...Baby One More Time (1999) and Oops!... I Did It Again (2000), are among the best-selling albums of all time and made her the best-selling teenage artist of all time.
With first-week sales of over 1.3 million copies, Oops!... I Did It Again held the record for the fastest-selling album by a female artist in the United States for fifteen years.
Spears adopted a more mature and provocative style for her albums Britney (2001) and In the Zone (2003), and starred in the 2002 film Crossroads.
She was the executive producer of her fifth studio album, Blackout (2007), which is often cited as her best-selling work.
Chart-Topping
Following a series of highly publicized personal problems, Spears' album promotion was curtailed, and she was involuntarily placed in a conservatorship.
Spears subsequently released the chart-topping albums Circus (2008) and Femme Fatale (2011), the latter of which became her most successful singles era on the U.S. charts.
With "3" in 2009 and "Hold It Against Me" in 2011, Spears became only the second artist in history to debut at number one with two or more songs on the Billboard Hot 100.
She began a four-year concert residency, Britney: Piece of Me, at the Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino in Las Vegas to promote her next two albums Britney Jean (2013) and Glory (2016).
In 2019, Spears' legal battle over her conservatorship became more public and led to the formation of the #FreeBritney movement. In 2021, the conservatorship was terminated following her public testimony.
