Iconic pop album, can't wait for the release of the funko pop album cover this year.

Fave songs are "I Will Be There" and "Born To Make You Happy".

I always preferred the blue cd best. I have one brand new sealed copy as well.

 

What Funko I only knew about Toxic and Oops

I don't remember exactly where I read it but yes apparently were supposed to get the album cover of BOMT as a funko pop as well, along with the Oops and Toxic ones early this year. I actually already saw a presale listing on ebay for the Oops one which is supposed to be available on the 15th of this month but I haven't seen any official site post it up so I'm not sure if that's the official release date.

 

I like the LP HT one as well, so I can't wait to see Britney's

Omg I cant believe this album is gonna be 23!

Its crazy to think how fast time has gone especially now.

And also didnt the album sell over 32 million copies?

I could've sworn I saw someone write it online

I was 13 years old and fell in love with the song after hearing it on the radio. Didn’t have cable then so I had never even seen who Britney Spears was. But after school on this legendary day I had my mom take me to circuit city to buy the cd and I found the last copy on the shelf! When I checked out the cashier even said we’ve been selling so many copies of this cd all day! And then I listened to the cd in our van and a Stan was born lol

I recently came across this performance and interview I had never seen before. 

Firstly--I think these are LITERALLY her best ever live "Baby One More Time" vocals

 

Secondly--by the end of this segment, I see everything that made me fall in love with this artist when I was 13.

Be right back, whipping out my old cd player and jamming out to ...BAMT  Happy 23rd, y'all!

I remember seeing the video of BOMT when I was a kid and the image stuck, never knew it was Britney until I became a fan in 07.

It's not my favorite album tbh BUT I love every single 

So iconic, you can debut once and do all of that, and Britney DID IT
