The cultural phenomenon that hit the world just as the 90's were coming to a close, it's Britney bitch. Spears was at the epicenter of the late 90's teen-pop movement. Max Martin's production on her debut album, 1999's Baby One More Time, made songs like the title track & "(You Drive Me) Crazy" instant classics & staples of the T.R.L. days... when life was a little simpler. Britney cemented her legacy as pop's princess with her next three albums: 2000's Oops!... I Did It Again, 2001's Britney (which gave us the Neptunes-produced classic "I'm a Slave for You"), & 2003's In The Zone. Tabloids, trash, 'n' trouble soon followed & the result was 2007's aptly-titled Blackout. If you don't remember this era of Britney consider yourself lucky, although we got the smash "Gimme More" we also got the horrendous performance of the song at that year's VMA's. Britney seemed to acknowledge she was in on the joke with 2008's Circus, a solid effort. The 2010's gave us 2011's Femme Fatale, with bangers "Til the World Ends" & "Hold It Against Me." 2013's Britney Jean (with the excellent track "Work Bitch") & 2016's Glory followed. Britney has aged well, as has her music, & she has elegantly and gracefully slipped into her later tears. She has had a Vegas residency since 2015. But with rumors she may never sing or perform again, the future is in the air; however, her legacy is not. She's up there with Madonna and all the other female-pop greats. So who knows what the future holds for Britney... But after twenty plus years in the game, if there is one thing we've learned it's to never count Britney out. Have no fear... It's...
