At the age of 8, following an audition to present the Mickey Mouse Club where Britney Spears was refused because too young, one of the producer of the show notices her and recommends Britney Spears to an agent in New York. Britney Spears then spends her following summers in New York to follow dancing and comedy courses. Very good idea as in 1991, Britney Spears manages to get a role in a Broadway show. The same year, Britney Spears little sister Jamie Lynn Spears comes to world. At the age of 11, Britney Spears presents the Mickey Mouse Club with Christina Aguilera and Justin Timberlake. Then, Britney Spears records a sample that she sends to a large number of music record companies. Britney Spears takes audition for Jive Records which immediately signs her.
On January 12 1999, the first Britney Spears album Baby One More Time, (Baby One More Time, You Drive Me Crazy, Sometimes, Soda Pop, Born To Make You Happy, From The Bottom Of My Broken Heart, I Will Be There, I Will Still Love You, Thinkin' About You, E-Mail My Heart, The Beat Goes On) is released.
The Britney Spears album contains two titles with pop sounds and the targeted audience is somewhat young. The Britney Spears album sells at 23 millions worldwide. Britney Spears then releases her new song "Sometimes", with average success, then "Crazy" which ranks well in charts of many countries before giving place to "Born To Make Your Happy" which had a strong impact.
In 2000, Britney Spears releases her second cd album, Oops...

The hit becomes one of the most popular song of the 90s. 19 millions of Britney Spears albums are sold. The second song "Lucky" encounters a relatively important success. We need to wait the third single "Stronger" to see a new success for Britney Spears. The last album, "Don't Let Me Be The Last To Know", is however her fist commercial failure.
Well decided not to stay with a defeat, Britney Spears takes her time to prepare a third cd album with a first single "I'm Slave For You" with innovating and audacious sounds, produced by Neptunes. The Britney Spears single definitively breaks the virgin image of the pop star. The Britney Spears album sells pretty well (more than 12 millions albums sold), but not as much as her first two ones.
It is at the same period that Britney Spears makes her first steps in cinema in a movie specifically created for her, "Crossroads". Despite the movie getting deceiving results, the Britney Spears movie still is a commercial success as the movie collected over $60 million worldwide, for a budget four times less important.

Britney Spears music is now more sensual but also more personal (the singer has written or co-written several songs). The first Britney Spears single, “Me Against The Music” is with the collaboration of her idol of ever, Madonna. Yet, the presence of Madonna doesn’t Britney Spears to meet the expected success in the US. Nevertheless, the Britney Spears song still manages to top in several countries across the globe. It is with her international hit "Toxic" that Britney Spears album sales skyrocketed. Then Britney Spears releases her single "Everytime", first song written and composed by the singer, which also will be an international success.
