[edit] Reception

The album's predecessor, ...Baby One More Time, set high commercial standards, yet Oops! sold extremely well worldwide.

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,"[1] and also refers to her "song-factory" and "fantastic pop cheese," while NME reported (with a score of 8 out of 10) that "She's modern-day pop perfection realised in a nearly, human form," [2] 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.

According to Jive Records, Britney Spears' second album, Oops!... I Did It Again, sold more than 500,000 copies on its first day of release.[3] The album topped the U.S. Billboard 200, selling over 1.3 million units in its first week.[4] She easily broke the SoundScan record for highest sales in a week by a solo female artist. The previous record was held by Alanis Morissette's 1998 album, Supposed Former Infatuation Junkie, which sold 469,000 copies its first week. During its second week the album sold 612,500 units and slipped to number-two,[5] and it remained seventeen weeks in the top 3 in the Billboard 200.

The record also topped the Canadian and U.S. Internet album charts, and reached a peak of number-two in the United Kingdom.

Singles off the album consist of 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.

[edit] Miscellaneous

 Trivia sections are discouraged under Wikipedia guidelines.
The article could be improved by integrating relevant items and removing inappropriate ones.
  • 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 officially released as part of an album (even though she has credits for being the co-author of "I'm So Curious", a song recorded for her first album, which was released as a bonus track
  • 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.
  • It has been rumored that the title track has lyrics that when played backwards refer to Britney's mother. The middle of the song, when reversed, sounds similar to: "Mommy, I miss you. Mommy I love you." This subliminal messaging is not confirmed by Spears or any of her representatives. Listeners have claimed Britney also says, "I think I'm ready-ready for you." during this song.
  • The title track was covered by Finnish melodic death metal band Children of Bodom.
  • "Oops!...I Did It Again" was also covered by British singer/guitarist Richard Thompson as part of his "1000 Years of Popular Music" album and tour.
  • "Dear Diary" is the shortest song yet Spears has made, with a running time of two minutes and forty-six seconds. It is also the softest of the songs on the album, being a piano ballad.
  • The song "Lucky" was placed as number 7 on the album; seven is believed to be a "lucky number." "Lucky" is also the seventh single released by Britney Spears, beginning with her debut single. Ironically, the song was listed as the 13th track on her "Greatest Hits: My Prerogative" collection.
  • It has been rumored that Jive records released the song "Girl In The Mirror" in 2001. "Don't Let Me Be The Last To Know" was an unfortunate flop, leading Jive records to release a 5th single only in Asia. The single was released to radio-airplay only. The single flopped in most countries except for the Philippines, in which it charted at number 1. This is only a rumor.
