Britney Spears turns 30 and continues successful run

Britney Spears has been in the spotlight for over a decade, but as she turns 30 today, fans are wondering what’s her next step.

It goes without saying that Britney Spears has been one of the most sensational success stories out of America, with an international singing career, selling millions of records, and having often been at the centre of tabloids and gossip columns. It was in 1999 that Spears became internationally known with her hit single ‘Baby One More Time’. Fans subsequently bought a whopping 13 million copies of ‘Baby’, her first album.

In 2004 Britney Spears married Kevin Federline, a backup dancer for Michael Jackson. The couple had two kids but got divorced after just two years. The battle for custody of their two sons, and media frenzy pushed Britney into a chaotic downspin. It took her several years to recover but she did so to the delight of millions, and is now back in the game having recently released several hit singles from her seventh studio album Femme Fatale and remixed hits.

Earlier this year Spears received the MTV Video Vanguard Award, handed to her by Lady Gaga, honoring her career. As of today, the singer has sold more than 100 million records and continues to inspire many young people to follow suit.
