music “(You Drive Me) Crazy” 20th anniversary

[Miss_R]

"(You Drive Me) Crazy" is a song recorded by Britney for her debut studio album, ...Baby One More Time (1999). Written and produced by Max Martin, Per Magnusson and David Kreuger with additional writing by Jörgen Elofssonand remix by Martin and Rami Yacoub, it was released as the album's third single on August 21, 1999 by Jive Records. It was a commercial success and peaked inside the top ten on the singles charts of seventeen countries.          

She recorded the vocals for the song in March 1998, at Cheiron Studios in Stockholm, Sweden. 

The song's accompanying music video (using the Stop! Remix) was directed by Nigel **** and filmed on June 14 and 15, 1999 at the AES Power Station in Redondo Beach, California. 

On August 24, 1999, the music video debuted at number four on “Total Request Live”. It is the longest running by a female artist on TRL, staying on the top ten for 73 days. The video was nominated on the category of Best Dance Video on the 2000 MTV Video Music Awards; it lost, however, to Jennifer Lopez's "Waiting for Tonight”.

Also, I would add that Crazy was the best-selling single worldwide in week 49 of the year 1999, so it reached #1 on the Global chart (with December 11, 1999 as a date). It was Britney's second single to top the chart, after BOMT did it for 8 weeks (Sometimes reached "only" #5). 

 

Worldwide smash indeed

1st thought: Damn, I'm old. 

2nd thought: I'm still proud that I got to see Britney from the beginning. Again, so many of my favorite artists are older artists and they had already been around by the time I got into them.

20 years already! I still remember singing and dancing on that song when I was a teenager, in my parents house.

That song - album version and radio version - that was something. I really miss the old times. Thank you so much for this nostalgic post

"CRAZY" solidified Britney... it was a great time to be a fan.  The song and video was everywhere!  The album version even got airplay (I prefer the album version).
