Britney Spears - Britney Jean

Britney Spears' eighth studio album!

Jive Records/Legacy Recordings reissuing Britney's first eight studio albums on vinyl!

Features the hits "Work Bitch" "Perfume" and "Alien"

Jive Records/Legacy Recordings, the catalog division of Sony Music Entertainment, are reissuing nine vinyl titles from international pop icon Britney Spears' best-selling discography.

Britney's first eight studio albums — ...Baby One More Time (1998), Oops!...I Did It Again (2000), Britney (2001), In the Zone (2003), Blackout (2007), Circus (2008), Femme Fatale (2011) and Britney Jean (2013) will all be repressed on LP alongside the 2004 collection Greatest Hits: My Prerogative (2004).

Taken together, these albums represent a seismic shift in pop music from the end of one millennium to the start of another. Britney's cutting-edge pop collaborations and ever-evolving musical style have made her a cultural icon whose every move has influenced generations. In total, all of these albums peaked within the Top 5 of the Billboard 200 — with five of them reaching No. 1 — and have been certified more than 34x platinum-selling by the Recording Industry Association of America. They also boast a total of 20 singles that reached the Top 40 of the Billboard Hot 100.

Spears described 2013's Britney Jean as her most personal release to date, with every track co-written by the singer. It featured another dance-pop hit, the enduring "Work Bitch."

Britney Jean is Spears's second eponymous record after Britney (2001), though the album's name refers to both her first and middle names. It marks Spears's first major activity since the dissolution of her longtime record label, Jive Records, in 2011. The singer began recording material for Britney Jean in May 2013, eventually continuing into October of that year. On numerous occasions, Spears has described the album as the most personal record from her catalog. Having assumed an integral position in its production, she co-wrote each track and collaborated with songwriters and producers including Sia and will.i.am to achieve her desired sound. Furthermore, the record features guest vocals from Spears's younger sister Jamie Lynn, T.I., and will.i.am. Musically, Britney Jean contains strong elements of EDM and pop.

The album was eventually certified gold by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) for combined album-equivalent units of 500,000.

"Work Bitch" was released as the lead single from Britney Jean on September 17, 2013. The track debuted and peaked at No. 12 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 and was a moderate success worldwide, later becoming one of her signature songs.
