The full-length proved she was a true force to be reckoned with in the top 40 space, and it signaled that she would be sticking around for quite a while. The singer's sophomore set produced some of her most familiar tunes – including the title track – and fans still love everything about it to this day. The set is a bestseller again in the United Kingdom, and this week, it appears on multiple charts… and even manages to earn Spears her first new placement on one list in almost a decade. Oops!... I Did It Again debuts on this week's Official Album Downloads chart, which ranks the top downloaded full-lengths and EPs across the country on platforms like iTunes, Amazon, and others. Spears's set opens at No. 41, narrowly missing out on becoming a top 40 bestseller. Amazingly, this frame marks the first time Oops!... I Did It Again has appeared on this ranking. When the project was first released, streaming didn't exist, so there weren't separate rankings for sales and general consumption when it came to songs or albums. That means older efforts, like Oops!... I Did It Again, sometimes debut on tallies such as this one well after their heyday. Spears earns her career eighth appearance on the Official Album Downloads chart this week. Oops!... I Did It Again brings the singer her first win on the list since September 2016. Just under a decade ago, Glory debuted that month and rose to No. 4, spending just three weeks somewhere on the tally. As it debuts on the Official Album Downloads chart, Oops!... I Did It Again also manages to return to the Official Albums Sales list, though it's not new to that ranking. In fact, the title has now spent three frames on the roster. It launched in 2020 and last appeared on the tally — which looks at all forms of purchases in the country — in April 2023, when it reached its all-time peak of No. 52. To celebrate Oops!... I Did It Again turning 25, Spears released a special anniversary edition of the album on May 16. The project, available digitally as well as on collectible vinyl, included multiple alternative recordings and remixes, expanding the set considerably.

Huge Britney Spears rumor finally put to bed after 25 years
Britney Spears fans have finally learned the truth behind her iconic Oops!... I Did It Again album cover. After 25 years of speculation that the famous artwork was photographed at Lenny Kravitz 's Miami house, the rumor has been dispelled once and for all thanks to photographer Mark Seliger's executive producer. Speaking to Page Six, Ruth Levy revealed: 'I can confirm the album cover was not shot at Lenny's house.' Instead, the publication claims that the actual location of the photoshoot was Quixote Studios in West Hollywood, California. And although Lenny's house wasn't used for the shoot, he was there at the time along with his then 12-year-old daughter, Zoe Kravitz. In 2019, Zoe, now 36, shared a throwback snap of the moment she met Britney, 43. She looked delighted in the image as she posed with the singer. 'This is important,' Zoe captioned the upload, which saw her smiling for the camera with Britney as she took a quick break for her hectic work schedule for the day. For the past 25 years, fans have speculated whether the artwork was shot at Lenny Kravitz's home in Miami Britney was at the height of her fame as an 18-year-old back in 2000 after having gained worldwide recognition with her hit single Hit Me Baby One More Time the year before. Proving that she was accompanied by her dad Lenny on the set of Britney's shoot, the year before Zoe shared a snap of him posing with Britney from the same day. She also labelled it: 'This is important @lennykravitz.' Britney went on to release seven more albums after Oops, with her latest being Glory in 2016. Known as the Princess of Pop, her work inspired other pop stars including Katy Perry and Meghan Trainor, she was honored wit the Billboard Millennium Award in 2016. Earlier this month, the model who made an appearance as Britney's astronaut lover in her Oops!...I Did It Again music video opened up about working with the singer. Eli Swanson, 49, became widely known for his role in the clip which was released 25 years earlier in April 2000. When he initially auditioned for the part in the music video, Eli was not aware that he would be working with Britney. Speaking to People, he said: 'The next day, I received the call time and details. When I arrived, I discovered what the project was, which was exciting.' The model, who is now working as a doctor, had nothing but positive words for Britney and the experience he had while on set. 'When I met her for the first time, she was very sweet,' he gushed. 'She had her little dog and her mom with her. 'It was cool to meet her. She was very, very nice... very humble.' At one point while filming a scene, he remembered that a piece from one of the cameras had fallen and hit the songstress in the head. But Eli explained the performer maintained her professionalism and 'took it like a champion.'

Britney Spears's Album Celebrates A Very Special Birthday
By the time she released Oops!... I Did It Again, Britney Spears was already a global pop superstar. The singer had scored one of the greatest debuts of all time with "...Baby One More Time" (and the album of the same name) which arrived the year prior. Her follow-up proved she was no one-hit wonder and that a new powerhouse talent had arrived — one who would change pop music forever. Spears's record label is celebrating the project's twenty-fifth anniversary with a special re-release, which fans were quick to snap up however they could. The Oops!... I Did It Again twenty-fifth anniversary edition currently sits at No. 20 on the iTunes Top Albums chart in the U.S. It stands as one of the highest-rising debuts this week, despite being part of a crowded Friday packed with exciting new drops. Spears comes in just behind newly-shared efforts by Morgan Wallen, BTS singer Jin, Sleep Theory, Sons of Sunday, Linkin Park, and the composer behind Disney+'s hugely popular Andor series. This may be just the beginning for the re-released Oops!... I Did It Again, which could continue to climb as fans across the U.S. wake up and realize they can now purchase the expanded set. The twenty-fifth anniversary edition of Oops!... I Did It Again was also released on vinyl, a highly-collectible format these days. The double LP is spread out across four sides of music, featuring several B-sides, relatively unknown tracks, and a number of remixes — including two brand new cuts never before featured on a full-length. Pressed on red/purple colored wax, the records came with additional goodies, including a new cover and a 20-page booklet with photos of the Grammy winner. Fans were quick to purchase the $100 release, which has already sold out on Spears's website. Spears dropped Oops!... I Did It Again on May 16, 2000, which aligns perfectly with today's release. The project hit even harder than her introductory ...Baby One More Time, which reinvigorated the market for teen pop. The title track was the biggest hit from the album, and it was followed by major successes like 'Lucky' and 'Stronger.' Oops!... I Did It Again easily conquered the Billboard 200 and has since been certified diamond for moving at least 10 million copies in the U.S. alone.

Britney Spears' ex Sam Asghari cosies up to lookalike girlfriend after swiping at singer
Troubled pop icon Britney Spears was married to Iranian-American actor Sam Asghari for 14-months, with the couple splitting in July 2023, seven years after the start of their relationship Sam Asghari has been enjoying a loved-up holiday with his girlfriend Brooke Irvine - who fans have pointed out bears a resemblance to his superstar ex-wife Britney Spears. The 31-year-old actor/DJ/estate agent was in a seven year relationship with the Oops I Did It Again singer, 42, with the pair marrying in 2022, shortly after she was released from the controversial conservatorship she was placed under in February 2018. During their total seven years together, Sam had a front row seat to the struggles faced by Britney at the hands of her father and the lawyers who were legally responsible for her day to day decisions and choices. In a recent swipe at the singer, Sam said of his new relationship: "It's all about love. That's what it is."

"It's about what really is the most important thing, and that's being present, being in the moment and supporting others that are doing this same thing." Meanwhile, he recently told Page Six that he found the set-up during the conservative era valuable - particularly when he was invited to be a contestant on the US version of The Traitors. He said: "I've learned a lot in the past five or six years being exposed to that (darker) side of Hollywood. And it's quite a blessing. 'It was a quick crash course in Hollywood and it sort of helped me. I figured it would be a good tool to actually help me in the Traitors game as well. 'You have to be careful in every industry. Not just in Hollywood. You have to always be careful and protect yourself and protect the people that you love." Sam and former cheerleader Brooke went public on January 1, and are frequently photographed running errands or hanging out in Hollywood. At the moment, the pair are holidaying in Mexico - where Britney is also enjoying a sun soaked break. A source close to Britney told the Daily Mail that she is happy for the new couple, but hopes Sam has given up one particularly annoying habit. "While she is so happy that he has found a beautiful blonde woman who is more his age, her only hope is that he treats her with the love and respect that she deserves and spends quality time with her rather than playing video games all day long. "Britney is not looking back and has nothing but love for him and Brooke." Right now mum-of-two Britney is busy enjoying a sunny holiday in Mexico, where she worried fans shortly after arriving after she was spotted walking through the airport with a bodyguard who carried a plastic doll wrapped in a blanket. There was no sign of the doll in her latest social media posts. In one she dances to We No Speak Americano by Yolanda Be Cool in the doorway of a cabin, the sea (and a bodyguard) behind her. Wearing a tiny green and yellow bikini, she accessorised with a brown fedora, a crocheted white flower choker, and some mirrored aviator shades. Other than her bodyguards, Britney has gone on holiday alone. She was immediately whisked to the five-star, £50,000 a week, Las Ventanas al Paraiso Resort, a spectacular beachside oasis overlooking the azure waters of the Sea of Cortez. There, the mum of two posted videos of herself sunnying herself in a green bikini. The doll - or "baby" - was not in obvious sight but, since the witness spoke to the Mail Online, fans and those who know Britney have expressed their concern about the star. One former associate told the publication: "Britney looks lost. She's on holiday with her two bodyguards and a plastic life-sized baby doll. Doesn't she have any real friends? It's sad. It is troubling to see her this way. You wonder if she is taking her meds and if everything is all right?"
