Britney
Britney is the third album by the American pop artist Britney Spears. It was released on November 6, 2001 and debuted at #1 on the Billboard Top 200 album chart; it was certified 4x platinum by the RIAA in mid-December 2001. Although the album has sold over 4 million copies in the US and over 11 million copies worldwide, 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. Spears worked with producers such as The Neptunes, Rodney Jerkins, Max Martin and others.
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.
