Oops!...I Did It Again is the second album by American
dance-
pop star
Britney Spears', released on
May 16,
2000 (see
2000 in music) on
Jive Records. The album's predecessor,
Baby One More Time, set high commercial standards, especially for a second album (which tend to be disappointing), but
Oops!...I Did It Again sold extremely well in North America, less so outside of the
United States and
Canada, though Spears has maintained a large
Latin American fanbase.
The album's mixture of ballads and Eurodance[?] beats was panned by many critics and purists, who dismissed Spears as a teen idol with little or no musical talent. Most reviewers, however, saw Spears as a vacuous pop star who never claimed to be anything but, and who succeeded at making vacuous pop music. For example, Rolling Stone magazine gave the album 3.5 stars out of 5, saying "Britney's demand for satisfaction is complex, fierce and downright scary, making her a true child of rock & roll tradition" [1] (http://www.rollingstone.com/reviews/cd/review.asp?aid=21327), and also refers to her "song-factory" and "fantastic pop cheese", while NME reported (with a score of 8 out of 10) that "She's modern-day pop perfection realised in a nearly, human form" [2] (http://www.nme.com/reviews/3942.htm), 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.
On the Billboard Music Charts (North America), Oops!...I Did It Again topped the Billboard 200, Top Internet Albums and Top Canadian Albums charts. It was also nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Female Pop Vocal Performance in 2001's Grammy Awards.
