Stop

[edit]
Any particular reason we should stop at any particular point? Remember, Wikipedia is not paper. --Brion 15:35 Aug 20, 2002 (PDT)
I can imagine quite an interesting series of articles on Britney albums as she marks her progress, both real and in image, through her career. Her version of "(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction)" ... I can't go on, but someone else could make this article into a very useful piece of pop history. As it stands, the article is weak, however, but, indeed, why stop? Britney is lagging far behind Led Zeppelin, and when I do my fabulous series on the albums and singles of Wreckless Eric, well, wow! Ortolan88 18:22 Aug 20, 2002 (PDT)
Juuitchan is considering writing one of those about a China Dolls album.
Any particular reason we should stop at any particular point? Well, if as the entry for Simon and Garfunkel suggests, we need the yet unwritten individual entries for their songs "The Sound of Silence" and its B-side, "We've Got a Groovey Thing Goin'," doubtless we need an entry for their song "America," which, unlike the aforementioned B-side, was included on Simon and Garfunkel's Greatest Hits. In creating this entry, we should probably follow the precedent set by Simon and Garfunkel/The Sounds of Silence being a redirect to The Sounds of Silence, so the title is absent the name of the artist. The present entry for America is long overdue for being made into a disambiguation page for all the songs of that title anyhow. --TC
Anything wrong with eg America (Simon and Garfunkel)? --Brion
Perhaps a bit could be added to the What Wikipedia is Not page saying that Wikipedia is not CDDB (or FreeDB, or Musicbrainz, or {your favourite music database here}), and encouraging people who want to add entries for musical albums not (just) to list the tracks but to *say* something about the album too? (Does anyone actually own that Britney Spears album? More to the point, is anyone willing to confess to it? :>) --AW

I think the general rule here is that an article for something should be created if and only if there's enough interesting to be said about it. For some musical group, the level of group is probably all that's interesting. For many others. clearly there's something to be said for individual albums. But I can't imagine many individual songs about which there is enough to say in an encyclopedia article, with a few exceptions like "Stairway to Heaven" or "Revolution 1". For Britney, I think the album level is quite sufficient. --LDC

I expanded the article to prove it could be done. Comments? Tuf-Kat

Well done, TUF-KAT! -- Infrogmation 15:51 Apr 16, 2003 (UTC)
"a sophomore album" - that's an Americanism - what does it mean?
It's a second album. (In the US, the second year of high school or college is called a sophomore year) I didn't know it was an Americanism, and it's already in multiple articles, but I'll stop from now on. Sorry... Tuf-Kat
Funky - now if I see it again I'll know what to change it to. :) Martin

Singles section - OVERKILL

[edit]

This is just way too much. Not only should these images not appear anywhere but on the articles for the singles, but they are way too huge and all of the information shown here should already be in the individual articles for the singles. All of this is absolutely not needed here - it looks like a fansite. - eo 17:29, 13 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

U.S and WORLDIWDE SALES as of 2009

[edit]

As of July 2009, the album has sold 9,184,000 copies in the U.S. according to Nielsen SoundScan and USA Today News with additional 1,210,000 sold at BMG Music Clubs click here However, Nielsen SoundScan does not count albums sold through clubs like the BMG Music Service, which were significantly popular in the 1990's.link

According to the "People Magazine" Oops!...I Did It Again had sold 19 million copies worldwide since October 7, 2002. I added that! That's the only reliable source I can trust, but since the source was on 2002, after 7 years the album sales could go upper/higher than that. But in her website www.britney.com on her career highlights, "Oops!...I Did It Again" sold only 17 million copies...but the certifications there are false like Mexicos' AMPROFON certification and the Brazilian's ADBP are did not match on its websites..I do not trust this site...please site an reliable source on changing the worldwide sales figure. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Adelbutt123 (talk • contribs) 08:24, 6 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]


Oops!...I Did It Again is listed on the Wikipedia article of best selling albums worldwide. Maybe it is worth noting in the opening paragraph? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 151.156.178.129 (talk) 09:55, 2 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

More Info for Oops!...I Did It Again

[edit]

According to the US Billboard Charts. The album spent;

  • Billboard 200- stayed 84 weeks, debuted #1 on June 3, 2000.
  • Catalog Albums- stayed 2 weeks, debuted #40 on January 4, 2003.
  • Canadian Albums Chart- stayed 47 weeks, debuted #1 on June 3, 2000.

The total length of the tracks equals to 44:30 duration.

Production portion According the Yahoo! Music News on January 7, 2000,

  • Britney Spears is about halfway through the recording process of her second album. She has been working on the not-yet-titled album both in the U.S. and in Sweden. The 18-year-old singer tells LAUNCH that this time around, the album will be a bit funkier and edgier.

"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.

I added a production portion, so that others can know the process of the record... —Preceding unsigned comment added by Adelbutt123 (talk • contribs) 08:30, 28 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

who keeps changing the promotion?

[edit]

can we keep a clean list of all the stuff she did to promote this album. someone keeps deleting all the performances and appearances she did this era, she did a lot more promoting this album then what's on this page. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Born2booze (talk • contribs) 15:03, 29 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Requested move

[edit]
The following discussion is an archived discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the move request was: page moved. Malcolmxl5 (talk) 21:36, 12 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Oops!... I Did It Again → Oops!... I Did It Again (album) – The album gets more hits than the song. However, even when the album has hit songs, the titular song itself... let's say that many people can associate it as a catchphrase for Britney Spears... or a song itself. If the album is disambiguated, the hits will probably go down. Moreover, should the primary topic of the same name be the song or the dab page? By the way, I did not intend to request the renaming. I shall give credit to Status (talk · contribs), who introduced the idea in the talk page. George Ho (talk) 23:33, 3 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I requested that the song be moved to the plain title here, since it looks like the album move won't be an issue to pass. WikiRedactor (talk) 21:33, 9 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Reverted

[edit]

I have reverted the unreliable sales figures added by 88marcus. You should (1) use "show preview" before saving to see the errors, and (2) explain why it is you believe that there should be two sales amounts for one country. 76.127.20.109 (talk) 22:46, 19 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Best selling artist of 2000?

[edit]

I think with 8 Million copies of 'Oops I Did It Again' and 3 Million of 'Baby One More Time', she becames the best-selling artist of the year (2000)--Losigro (talk) 14:22, 18 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Requested move 13 November 2020

[edit]
The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.

The result of the move request was: not moved -- JHunterJ (talk) 12:44, 20 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

– The album shouldn't need a qualifier. Like most other albums with title tracks. Whitevenom187 (talk) 14:51, 13 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

This is a contested technical request (permalink). GeoffreyT2000 (talk) 17:27, 13 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Note: the Oops!... I Did It Again title is of a dab page with significant content and so is ineligible to be a "new" title in a requested move unless it is also proposed to be renamed. This request has been altered to reflect that fact. P.I. Ellsworth  ed. put'r there 15:24, 14 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
  • "Oops!... I Did It Again (album)" does not seem to be the primary topic. Other links are also associated with "Oops!... I Did It Again", so this needs furthur discussion. Seventyfiveyears (talk) 14:58, 13 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Everything, but one unrelated album, on Oops!... I Did It Again (disambiguation) has to do with the Britney Spears album in some way: the title track, the tour for the album, and a Britney Spears compilation record. So, it only makes sense to me to change the name and add a note via Template:About, like Highway to Hell, Future Nostalgia or American Idiot. Whitevenom187 (talk) 18:04, 13 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

There are plenty of albums that have title tracks, and tours with the same name. Those albums are primary topics: Dangerous Woman, The Velvet Rope, Off the Wall. I really barely see an album, especially a number-one album, not the primary topic when the disambiguation page is so scant.Whitevenom187 (talk) 22:20, 14 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Oops I did it Again sold more than 20 million copies worldwide by 2002, the certification numbers are CRIMINALLY OUTDATED and by now this album has sold at least +25 million copies worldwide. RIAA officially certified this album x9 Platinum in March 2001 (so less than a year since the release in may 2000).

RIAA latest update was in January 2005 when this album was already Diamond (x10 Platinum). 88.7.36.115 (talk) 12:01, 3 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
