Britney Spears celebrates 20 years of hit album
Britney Spears is celebrating the 20th anniversary of her hit album Oops!… I Did It Again with an old-school video montage.
The pop star, who released her second album on May 16, 2000, shared the Instagram clip, which included a young Spears excitedly promoting the title track in an interview. “It’s incredible, it’s amazing and I think it’s better than ‘Baby One More Time’” she said, naming the 1999 album that made her famous at age 16.
“It’s really really weird that my name is known all around the world,” the mother-of-two said in the old clip.
In her Instagram caption, Spears admitted that she didn’t know who made the compilation. “Thank you to whoever made this ….. I just nearly dropped my phone I wasn’t expecting it!!!!!” she wrote. “20 years since the Oops! album …. the anticipation and the butterflies I felt before it came out were crazy …. all of my expectations were exceeded!!!!”
The 38-year-old added, “And it’s all thanks to you folks …. thank you for sticking with me and growing with me. I am one Lucky girl. God Bless and thank you all !!!!!! PS you see even 20 years ago I still liked to twirl.”
According to Billboard, the Oops!… I Did It Again album “held the record for 15 years for the biggest sales week ever for an album by a female artist, debuting at No. 1 on the June 3, 2000-dated Billboard 200 with 1,319,000 copies sold in its first week.”
