...Baby One More Time is the debut album by American pop singer Britney Spears after she had left the pop group Innosense, released on January 12, 1999 on Jive Records[1] The album was a worldwide commercial success, reaching the top five in nineteen countries, and number one in fifteen, including the U.S Billboard 200. The album helped propel Spears' into mainstream popularity.[2] With the release of the lead single "...Baby One More Time", Spears became a pop phenomenon; the single peaked at number one on the Billboard Hot 100[3][4], her only single to do so for nearly ten years, until October 2008 when her single "Womanizer" peaked at number one on the Billboard Hot 100.[5] All but one of the U.S singles from the album reached the top-twenty according to the Billboard Hot 100.[6]

[edit] Album history

The majority of Baby One More Time was recorded and produced in Sweden from November 1997 to June 1998, using Swedish dance-pop producers. Spears' label intended the album to have a distinct pop feel and felt that the dance music produced in Sweden best fit Spears' style and marketability. The album was first released with five snippets of demo songs on January 2, 1998. It was officially released on January 12, 1999 in Canada and the United States, and on March 8, 1999 in the United Kingdom. The cassette had the same cover that was later included in "...Baby One More Time" single booklet, although some editions, like the Australian edition, have an alternate cover picture, a picture of Spears in white, with her hands in a praying gesture. The picture also resembles the cover artwork of Björk's album Debut. The album was then meant to be named just Britney Spears, but due to the debut single success, the title was changed to make the album more recognized in the public.

On early pressings of the album, there is a commercial by Britney after the song "The Beat Goes On". In the message, Spears advertises her label mates the Backstreet Boys' album, and playing snippets of the singles from their album. The running time of "The Beat Goes On" with the special message at the end is 5:53[7]. Spears had originally not envisioned creating a pop album, she imagined herself singing, in her own words, "Sheryl Crow music, but younger more adult contemporary" but she was happy going along with pop music stating, "It made more sense to go pop, because I can dance to it -- it's more me."[8] In April 2009, MTV announced that outtakes from this album and other Britney rarities could indeed be the subject of a new Britney release in the fall.[9]
