Untitled

Oops!... I Did It Again is the second studio album by American pop singer Britney Spears, released on May 16, 2000 on Jive Records.[3] The album debuted at number one in the U.S, selling 1,319,193 units during its first week of sales[4][5][6][7], the album dominated the U.S retail markets on May 16th in its first day in stores according to a survey of retail outlets,[8] after moving 500,000 units in its first day of release breaking the SoundScan record for the highest sales in its debut week by any solo artist[9]. The album contains Britney's first writing credit on one of her albums, for "Dear Diary".[10] This was her second album to received a diamond certification denoting over 10 million shipments sold in the United States according to the Recording Industry Association of America.[11] The album produced three hit singles: her third UK number-one single "Oops!... I Did It Again",[12] "Lucky" and "Stronger". In addition, "Oops!...I Did It Again" had sold 19 million copies worldwide since 2002.[13]

Production

On November 19, 1999, Spears begun recording new material for "Oops!...I Did It Again" at studios in Sweden and Switzerland. Spears said that "I just got back from Sweden", "and we did half the material over there. I was really, really happy with the material, but we had such limited time to get so much done. So I've just really been in the studio nonstop, which is cool, though." While in Europe, Spears has reteamed with producer and song smith Max Martin, who helped pen several tracks on the teen singer's first album, including the title track and the original version of "(You Drive Me) Crazy." Spears also traveled to Switzerland to work on some songs with famed producer "Mutt" Lange, the husband of country sensation Shania Twain, and told John Norris that she was hoping to collaborate with Diane Warren and Babyface, among others. When asked about what differences fans could expect between her first and second albums, Spears also pointed out that her age would have an obvious effect on the material. "When I did the first record".[14]

On January 7, 2000, Spears was about halfway through the recording process of the album. She has been working on the not-yet-titled album both in the U.S. and in Sweden. Spears also said that this time around, the album will be a bit funkier and edgier.[15] "When I did the first album, I had just turned 16. I mean, when I look at the album cover, I'm like, 'Oh, my lordy,'" she says. "I know this next album's going to be totally different--especially the material. I just got finished recording the first six songs in Sweden two months ago, and the material is so much more funkier and edgier. And, of course, it's more mature because I've grown as a person too." The new album reportedly contains contributions from Max Martin, Eric Foster White, Diane Warren, and Babyface, among others. [15] Spears was heavily pressured for the follow up album due to ...Baby One More Time's" huge commercial success. She said "It's kind of hard following ten million, I have to say,". "But after listening to the new material and recording it, I'm really confident with it."[16]

During the release of Oops!...I Did It Again, Spears told that "I mean, of course there's some pressure," Spears says. "But in my opinion, (Oops!) is a lot better than the first album. It's edgier - it has more of an attitude. It's more me, and I think teenagers will relate to it more." Geoff Mayfield, director of charts at Billboard, adds that the decision to release Oops! less than a year and a half after Spears' debut amounts to "very smart timing. My philosophy is, when you have a young fan base, get 'em while they're hot."[17]

Reception

Critical

Initial critical response to Oops!...I Did It Again was generally favorable. According to Metacritic, which assigns a normalized rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream critics, the album has received a score of 72, based on 12 reviews.[18]

Entertainment Weekly's David Browne says the best of the tracks undermine the criticism that all teen pop is merely perky smiles and choreography. A slew of producers and writers, most notably Max Martin, ditch the Tinkertoy feel of Spears' first album and replace it with palpitating, bass-heavy constructs.[19] MTV Asia gave the album 8 stars rating saying "the album has the dodgy title, the fans generally feel that Britney has improved quite a bit, and that this is a brilliant second album. Britney is armed with a more mature and seasoned pop star look, stronger and poppier songs, and of course, extensive media exposure.[20] The album received generally positive reviews from critics resulting in the reviews being more positive than Spears's previous album. Rolling Stone gave the album a 3.5 rating calling the album "fantastic pop cheese, with much better song-factory hooks than 'N Sync or BSB get", this was a huge step up from the 2 star rating they gave Spears for her previous album.[21]

Allmusic gave the album a 4 star rating saying "It has the same combination of sweetly sentimental ballads and endearingly gaudy dance-pop that made ...Baby One More Time".[22] NME reported (with a score of 8 out of 10) that "She's modern-day pop perfection realised in a nearly, human form," 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.[23]

Controversies

Songs Sued By Musicians

Spears and her recording and publishing companies have been sued by two musicians claiming two of her songs were copied from their tune. Michael Cottril and Lawrence Wnukowski filed a copyright case against Spears, Zomba Recording Corp, Jive Records, Wright Entertainment Group and BMG Music Publishing.[24]

According to Mr Cottrill and Mr Wnukowski, Spears' What U See (Is What U Get) and Can't Make You Love Me are "virtually identical" to one of their songs. A spokesperson from Spears' record label in the UK, Jive Records, was unable to comment on the case. The two tracks in dispute from "Oops! ... I Did it Again".[24]

However, Mr. Cottrill and Mr. Wnukowski claim that in 1999 they authored, recorded and copyrighted a song called "What You See Is What You Get". They say this song was submitted to one of Spears' representatives for consideration on a future album. It was rejected, they say, but add that Spears' What U See (Is What U Get) and Can't Make You Love Me are based on their tune.[24]
