Oops!... I Did It Again (album)

Oops!... I Did It Again is the second studio album from American Teen pop singer Britney Spears, released on May 16, 2000 on Jive Records.
Album information
The album's predecessor, ...Baby One More Time, set high commercial standards, especially for a second album (which tend to be disappointing), but Oops! sold extremely well in North America, less so outside of the United States and Canada, though Spears has maintained a large Latin American fanbase.
The album's mixture of ballads and Eurodance beats was panned by many critics and purists, who dismissed Spears as a teen idol with little or no musical talent. Most reviewers, however, saw Spears as a pop star who never claimed to be anything but, and who succeeded at making pop music. For example, Rolling Stone magazine gave the album 3.5 stars out of 5, saying "Britney's demand for satisfaction is complex, fierce and downright scary, making her a true child of rock & roll tradition" [2], and also refers to her "song-factory" and "fantastic pop cheese", while NMEreported (with a score of 8 out of 10) that "She's modern-day pop perfection realised in a nearly, human form" [3], though it also refers to her as an "evil genius" and rather cynically compares her music to the addictive drug ketamine based on the drug's tendency to blank the user's mind and thought processes.
Oops! topped the US Billboard 200, selling over 1.32 million units in its first week [4] (the most copies sold in a single week by a female artist in history). The album remained 17 weeks in the top 3 in the Billboard 200. The record also topped the Canadian and Internet album charts, and reached a peak of #2 in the UK. Singles off the album include the title track "Oops!... I Did It Again", "Lucky", "Stronger", and "Don't Let Me Be the Last to Know." The album was also nominated for a Grammy award for Best Pop Vocal Album, while the title track was nominated for Best Female Pop Vocal Performance. Oops!... I Did It Again has sold an estimated twenty-four million copies worldwide.

Miscellanea
- The album's liner notes contain the lyrics for the title track, "Stronger", "Don't Let Me Be the Last to Know", "Lucky" and "Dear Diary." Except for "Dear Diary", the rest are the singles from the album. "Dear Diary" is written in a diary style, and was probably included because it was the first time a song co-written by Spears was officialy released as part of an album (Even though she has credits for being the co-autor of "I'm So Curious", a song recorded for her first album, which was released as a bonus track in some countries).
- Bobby Brown, assistant engineer to the album, recorded "My Prerogative", the song Spears would cover four years later in her greatest hits album.
- Two past hits are covered in this album. The first, "(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction", is sung by the Rolling Stones, while "You Got It All" is a Jets song. Both were not released as singles, but were still popular among fans.
- "Don't Go Knockin' On My Door", "What U See (Is What U Get)", and the track before "Dear Diary" (depending on the edition) all have spoken dialogues between Britney and a friend after the song. These dialogues foreshadow the topic of the next song. The first spoken dialogue pretells the next track, "Satisfaction", when Britney and her friend talk about what a guy told the friend. Britney isn't impressed, and her friend says she is never satisfied. The intro of "Satisfaction" then starts playing. The second dialogue has Britney and her brother Bryan talking about a movie starring a very rich yet sad girl, foreshadowing the next song's theme ("Lucky"). The last dialogue has Britney and her girl friend giggling and chatting when they suddenly notice "a really cute guy" looking over at them. Spears' friend asks her what she will say, and her response is `the song "Dear Diary".
