Britney Spears reclaimed her title as the Princess of Pop after a public breakdown in 2007 — revisit her biggest accomplishments since her comeback
More than 20 years into her career, Britney Spears still sits on the throne as the Princess of Pop.
The former Mouseketeer burst onto the music scene in 1998 with her debut single, “…Baby One More Time.” After releasing three successful albums, 1999’s …Baby One More Time, 2000’s Oops!… I Did It Again and 2001’s Britney, she made her feature film debut in 2002’s Crossroads. She continued to top the charts with her next two albums, 2003’s In the Zone and 2007’s Blackout, before a series of personal struggles forced her to take some time away from the spotlight.
In 2006, Spears filed for divorce from her husband of two years, Kevin Federline, with whom she shares sons Preston and Jayden. In the months that followed, she made headlines for shaving her head, dating a paparazzo, checking in and out of rehab and ultimately being hospitalized on an involuntary psychiatric hold. A Los Angeles court placed Spears under a conservatorship in 2008, putting her father, Jamie Spears, and an attorney, Andrew Wallet, in control of her personal affairs and her multimillion-dollar estate.
