Britney
Spears, the name responsible for bringing in a new life to
the pop culture of America is idolized by teenage girls in
many parts of the world. Such is the extent of her fame that
The RIAA ranked her as the sixth best-selling female artist
in American music history. With over 83 million records sold
worldwide from just 5 studio albums and 2 compilation albums
to date in the span of just 10 years, Britney has marked her
own niche in the eccentric world of boy bands and male singer
fanatic world.
Britney
Spears was born on December 2, 1981, in McComb, Mississippi,
and raised in Kentwood, Louisiana as a Southern Baptist. Her
parents are Lynne Irene a former elementary school teacher,
and Jamie Parnell Spears, a building contractor. Spears's
brother Bryan works as a manager for the Spears family interests
and her sister Jamie Lynn is an actress and singer.
She later
got engaged and later married to Kevin Federline, and geared
up for her fifth studio album Blackout. November 2004 saw
the release of her first greatest hits collection, Greatest
Hits: My Prerogative. And she soon decided to take a career
break to start a family.
She took
up tours around the world for the promotion of this record.
And in November 2005, Spears released her first remix album,
B in the Mix: the Remixes. Meanwhile, her personal life was
going havoc with her filing for divorce in November, 2007
and the ugly turn in her children¡¯s custody case.
Her breakdown few months later compelled the court to hand
in the custody of her children to her ex husband.
Despite
her staying in rehab and the rather controversial events in
her life, Britney Spears is still famous among her ardent
fans and one hope that she will bounce back soon to the same
heights as before.
