''Britney'' is the third studio album by American pop singer Britney Spears. The album was released in November 6, 2001 by Jive Records. ''Britney'' is notable for Spears' increasingly prominent role in the production, and being the transition album away from her bubblegum pop sound and teen pop image from her previous two albums, and leaned increasingly toward more R&B, Hip hop, and sexual influences. Although the album's singles were slightly less successful than her album's previews singles, Spears assumed some creative control by co-writing five of the album's tracks. The uneasy transactional music styles for the album ''Britney'' garned it at the number one position in the ''Billboard'' 200, in which gave the Jive label its eleventh chart-topping album. The album became 2001's most successful debut by a female or female group artist, trumping Destiny's Child's ''Survivor'' and Janet Jackson's ''All For You''. The album's success made her the first female artist in music history to have her first three studio albums to debut at the number one spot. This record however would later be broken by Spears herself when her 4th studio album "In the Zone" charted in the same position. It was nominated for two Grammy awards, Pop Vocal Album and Best Female Pop Vocal Performance for "Overprotected". To date, ''Britney'' has sold over 12 million copies worldwide. - Wikipedia
