Album Information
Britney is the third album from American pop music singer Britney Spears, released on November 6, 2001.
Britney debuted within the top five in the UK and #1 on both the Canadian and Billboard 200 album charts; this #1 debut on the Billboard made her the only female aritst in SoundScan history to have her first three albums debut at #1. Although the album has sold well over 4 million copies in the US, it was less successful than Spears' first two albums, ...Baby One More Time and Oops!... I Did It Again.
Britney is most notable for Spears' own increasingly prominent role in the songwriting as well as a greater focus on her own sexuality. The record boasts aid from producers such as The Neptunes, Rodney Jerkins, Max Martin and others. Singles off the album include "I'm a Slave 4 U", "I'm Not a Girl, Not Yet a Woman", "Overprotected", "Boys", "Anticipating" and a cover of Joan Jett's "I Love Rock 'N Roll".
Two of the tracks off the album, "I'm Not a Girl, Not Yet a Woman" and "I Love Rock 'N Roll" were featured in Spears' 2002 movie, Crossroads.
