Britney Jean Spears was born on December 2nd, 1981 and raised in
Kentwood, Louisiana. She began singing early, but her big break came in the
early 1990s when she competed on the television show, “Star Search,” and was
then cast on the variety show, “The All-New Mickey Mouse Club.”
After that show’s cancellation, she recorded a professional demo that
eventually caught the attention of executives at Jive Records. Her first album,
…Baby One More Time, was released in 1999. The pop record topped the charts
worldwide, and debuted at number one on the U.S. Billboard 200. Its lead
single, “…Baby, One More Time” quickly turned her into a pop phenomenon.
After embarking on her first headlining tour, Spears’ sophomore record,
Oops!…I Did It Again, came out in 2000. It hit the top of the Billboard 200
chart in its first week of release and followed a pop vein similar to her first
album. The effort spawned hit singles such as “Stronger” and the title track.
MTV Awards and Justin Timberlake
While touring for the album, Spears made a provocative performance at
the 2000 MTV Video Music Awards. It was around this time that the starlet also
confirmed she was dating Justin Timberlake of the boy band ‘N Sync.
Number One Again and First Movie
Album number three dropped in 2001 and was simply called Britney. It
gave Spears her third number one record, and had more hip hop and
sexually-influenced lyrics. This was especially notable in the international
hit, “I’m a Slave 4 U.” Another single from that album, “I’m Not a Girl, Not
Yet a Woman,” was also featured in 2002 film, “Crossroads,” in which Spears had
her first starring role.
Following that album was one of the highest grossing tours of 2002,
making Spears one of the most powerful and sought-after celebrities on the
planet. That year also marked the end of her high-profile relationship with
Timberlake.
Madonna and Album Number Four
In 2003, Spears made another highly publicized performance at the MTV
Video Music Awards, this time sharing a kiss with Madonna. Her fourth album, In
the Zone, was released a few months later. Debuting again at number one, the
dance pop record yielded the duet with Madonna, “Me Against the Music” and the
Grammy-winning, “Toxic.”
Marriages
The next few years were filled with ups and downs for the pop star, who
was constantly being hounded by the media. Spears married twice in 2004. The
first marriage was annulled in less than three days. Her second was to dancer
Kevin Federline, and the pair’s courtship was recorded and became the reality
show, “Britney & Kevin: Chaotic.”
"My Prerogative"
2004 also saw the release of the compilation, Greatest Hits: My
Prerogative, with her cover of Bobby Brown’s “My Prerogative” becoming a global
hit. In 2006, though she had two children with him, Spears filed for divorce
from Federline due to irreconcilable differences.
Bizarre Behavior
In early 2007, Spears’ behavior began to take a bizarre turn. She also
endured several stints in rehab, and lost custody of her children.
Comeback
Her attempted comeback album was 2007’s Blackout. The urban-influenced
record featured lyrics about love and dealing with the media. Hitting the
second position on the Billboard 200, it generated the worldwide hits, “Gimme
More” and “Piece of Me.”
Hospitalization
In early 2008, Spears was briefly hospitalized after refusing to give up
custody of her sons to Federline’s representatives. Her father and attorney
subsequently gained temporary control of her estate following this incident.
After her release, she guest-starred on the television show, “How I Met Your
Mother.”
"Circus"
Her sixth album, Circus, came out at the end of that year, and became
her fifth number-one debut. With its electro-pop and urban sound, Circus had
several successful singles, such as the title track and “Womanizer.”
"Femme Fatale"
In 2009, Spears had another number one single with “3,” taken from the
compilation, The Singles Collection. The next year, she made a cameo on “Glee,”
which gave the television show its highest ratings yet. 2011 saw the release of
her seventh album, Femme Fatale, and its lead single, “Hold it Against Me,” which
debuted at the top of the Billboard Hot 100.
Pop Princess
Thanks to her best-selling albums and an image that mixes innocence with
sexiness, Britney Spears is a pop culture icon.
