Oops!...I Did It Again

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 pop star who never claimed to be anything but, and who succeeded at making 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], 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" [1], 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! topped the Billboard 200, Top Internet Albums and Top Canadian Albums charts. It was also nominated for a Grammy award for Best Pop Vocal Album, while the title track was nominated for Best Female Pop Vocal Performance. Within a month of its release, it was certified 4x platinum by the RIAA (June 13, 2000), then 5x (July 2000), 6x (August 2000), 7x (September 2000), and 8x (December 2000). It was eventually certified 9x platinum (March 2001) and then 10x platinum (diamond) in the January of 2005. [1]
