Which era was more successful: BOMT or OIDIA

[Blackout2006]

He-yo everyone!

So we all been knew, that 1999-2000 were the biggest years of Britneys career. In these two years, she had released 2 mega-huge eras. The ...Baby One More Time era, and Oops...i did it again era. These two eras were easily massive, with BOMT birthing the most iconic song of the late 90s, and OIDIA birthing the most iconic song of the early 00s. So, it came up as a question to my head...which era was more successful?

BOMT was released in January of 1999, debuting at No.1 with 121k sales, managing to sell 2 million copies within 1 or 2 months. The album garnered huge commercial success, with 3 highly successful singles, BOMT, YDMC, and Sometimes. The album became the best-selling female album of 1999 (and 2nd best-selling overall) selling 10 million copies within a YEAR. It became the most successful teenage debut album, becoming diamond certified (for selling 12 million copies in the US) and has now sold 33 million copies globally. It is always regarded as Britneys biggest era.

1 year, 15 months later...Britney would drop the lead single for her sophomore album and it would proceed to become the hugest hit of the year 2000. She would then release the album of the same name, OIDIA and the album sold 1.319 million copies within a week and managing to sell 2.5 million globally in its first week. The album AGAIN became the best-selling female album of 2000, selling 9 million copies within a year, and selling 28 milllion copies in total giving britney her second diamond album in the US (10 million).

So which era was bigger, more successful, and popular? Vote in the poll

OIDIA - this really put her on the map - the oops video made sure she wasn’t a one hit wonder - follow up albums can make or break careers 

[MSTAR]

It’s for sure OIDIA.

BOMT was the announcement to the world that Britney will own the world. She was THE superstar with OIDIA and no one can even surpass her.

People still thought she would fade into nonexistence during BOMT, thinking she'd be a one hit wonder.

Oops changed that and proved critics wrong, showing that she will be around for years to come.

Oops. 
Britney’s the ultimate pop star. Lady Gaga came close, but she never topped Britney’s impact.

Oops!  She Became A Legend During That Era. Not To Mention It Sold 2.5 Million In It’s First Week.

Deffo Oops. The album broke records in the US. She was everywhere at that time.

...Baby One More Time had better sales in the long run, but Oops!... I Did It Again established Britney as a legendary pop act. Ugh, I'm conflicted 

I hate bandwagoning but I'm gonna go with Oops because that's the popular opinion
