Much like her idol, Queen of Pop Madonna (click here to read more), March 27 marks the anniversary of one of Pop Princess Britney Spears‘ most enduring classics.
Two decades after releasing ‘Oops!… I Did It Again,’ the lead single from her history-making sophomore album of the same name, she took to Instagram to celebrate:
“Oops!….how did 20 years go by so fast ??? ?!??! I can’t believe it. I remember that red suit was so freaking hot …. but the dance was fun ?? and it made the shoot fly by,” she wrote. “And now we’re sitting in quarantine wishing we were on Mars ? ….. of course I am just kidding!”

Produced by Max Martin, ‘Oops,’ released March 27, 2000, acted as a turning point in the then-18-year-old singer’s career. Beyond showcasing her sexual maturity in its accompanying Nigel Dick-directed visual (thanks to that flaming red latex catsuit that added yet another costume into the young singer’s growing wardrobe iconography), the big budget clip also upped the ante for her videos that followed.
Serving notice that the mega-success of her debut album, ‘Baby One More Time,’ was far from a fluke, the Gold-certified single peaked at #9 on the Hot 100 (but topped charts in over a dozen countries around the globe).
Nominated for a GRAMMY Award for Best Female Pop Vocal Performance in 2001, ‘Oops’ stands tall on the list of the singer’s favorites among fans.
WERK. C******* COULD NEVA WILL NEVA. QUEEN BRITNEY.
The song that solidified her place in pop music history. AN ICONIC SONG! An iconic ALBUM! An ICON….period!
Britney’s second album proved how important the second album is for artists.
I’m impatiently waiting for new music form Queen Britney!
FACTS ? My favorite song on the album is What U See (Is What U Get) ?
Yassss! I would’ve preferred that be a single instead of Lucky! I also loved dont go knocking at my door. Sigh. I miss early 2000’s pop! The good days!
I like Britney Spears song “In My Pocket, So Real and What a Girl Wants”
Don’t Go Knockin’ is ? Me too! ? I can’t believe it’s been 20 damn years…wtf ?
@GTFO, In My Pocket and So Real are Mandy’s songs lol
What a Girl Wants was Xtinas lmfao

That’s my favourite also!
❤️ ❤️ “Don’t Come Knockin..,” “What you see” and “Can’t make You Love Me…”
I LOVE HER SO MUCH!
And Oops is such a bop awnn i wish music today was better like it was on the early 2000’s!
You’re amazing Britney <3

The music video was iconic!!!
Doesn’t feel anything like 20 years.
Right?! Makes me feel ancient ….and I’m only 26 lol
You a baby ? Say to yourself, “I’m 26 on THIS day” over and over ?
This year too when Avril Lavigne, Vanessa Carlton, and Michelle Branch debuted lol
I miss them
Not Michelle Branch ????
Stop lying u r 56!!! Old as britney
Thank you lol…the 80’s to 2000 was 20 REAL damn years! ?The last 20 years feel more like maybe 10 if not 5 ?
ATTN: if you want to feel super nostalgic, here’s Britney’s “making the video” episode from MTV ??? Look at her pure innocence and joy and TALENT! An absolute sweetheart. We truly do not deserve Britney Jean Spears ❤️ https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=eSriKlS84n4

That’s Normani right now ???
??????
Omg! That’s normani’s baby gurl. She was secretly gave birth long time ago. She obviously lied about her age!!!!!! Exposed again!!!!
So incredibly funny…let’s all disparage another young black woman for a cheap laugh.
@Oh Plz
So we can’t drag her just because she’s black? OH PLZ!
Britney spears actually would be at the top of the best selling artist of all time, but she hasn’t recertified her singles now that the streaming era is here. Beyonce is the same. There are artist that think they are the top when these two women are actually. Idk. I guess it doesn’t matter as much to them
They will do it when launching new albums as a means of drumming up interest. Nicki did the same thing.
New songs * oops! I shaved my head again *. *me against my father (feat. Kevin Federline). * I’m a crackhead 4U*
????
I love Britney but DAYUMM ? Learn to laugh people.
I’m sorry but Christina’s Come On Over (All I Want Is You) is better and it actually peaked @#1 vs OIDIA which peaked @ #9
What a girl wants isn’t as iconic as oops. And who cares about chart positions? Done if Britney’s most iconic songs didn’t hit #1. This is what’s wrong with fans and people in the music industry now – they only care about charts. The 90’s and early 00’s didn’t focus on that ?.
