Notes

This is the debut album for Britney Spears.  She recorded it while she was 17 years old and was released right after her 18th Birthday.  Shockingly, this is one the best selling albums of all time.  Yes, you read that correctly.  The album has sold over 28 million copies worldwide.  It includes her biggest hit "...baby one more time" and several other singles.  I personally think the album is a bit corny.  Tracks such as "E-mail my heart" are just silly and are obviously aimed for a certain audience.  This album was on the Billboard top 200 for two years and peaked at number one.

Recommendations

I'm honestly not the biggest fan, but the album does have a lot of history.  Being one of the best selling albums in modern times, you almost feel that you should own it.  I would say the only reason to own it is not because of the music, but because it is Britney.

If you plan on purchasing ...Baby one more time

There are several enhanced imports of this album that are quite expensive.  Just go with the original 1999 release.  Seriously, unless you are obsessed with Britney, you only need this version.  You should be able to find it at your record store.  But if you don't live by should's, then check out Cdnow.com, you will find it there.

If you don't plan on purchasing ...Baby one more time but want to hear some tracks from it

There were 5 singles released from this album, but there are only three tracks that I found decent.  There first three tracks are decent, and you may want to start there.  If you preview those and enjoy them, then you may want to expand, but believe me, the album does get much cornier, but if that is your thing, you may just want to own the album.  The tracks can be purchased individually at Itunes or Napster. For more suggestions, you can check out my ideal compilation at my Britney Spears Home Page.
