In recent days I have again heard from a number of my MP3's. Including music by Britney Spears. You may well think what you will about Britney, she was very successful for her wedding. Sorry, took some time off and now the press tries out each of their human missteps to make profit. Just as it is dependent for good tabloid press.
I thought about how she made at that time to be so successful and why they are now no more. I had a possible reason in mind - the desire to own music!
musical change
Many stars, including Britney have, then the typical "teen pop" made. Thus, the strong consumer target group children / young people "was addressed. This was successful. Million records sold worldwide, the concerts were sold out within minutes and the music videos were running up and down. But eventually came the change. Britney wanted to make their "own" music. She jumped on the teen-pop train to take on a different direction. They had become adults and are apparently no longer maintain its image if it does so keep teen-music.
But first musical work to what Britney's career:
Her debut album "... Baby One More Time" was made in 1999 about 28 million copies worldwide sold. Your 2nd Album "Oops I Did It Again" (2000) was indeed very very successful, but was no longer on the success of the approaching debut album. However, there was at least 24 million worldwide on the counter. Then appeared "Britney" (2001) and "In the Zone" (2003). These two album were sold together "only" 25 million times. So almost as often as her second Album but less than their debut CD! The musical style of the 3rd + 4. Albums differ extremely from the first two. The teen pop was almost completely gone. The CD's went more toward R & B / Hip-Hop combined with some dance influences!
The "Greatest Hits" album, which launched in 2004 was reached, then only a sales figure of 8 million worldwide. The absolute flop came in 2005 when Britney tried it with a remix CD. This was 1.5 million times away. The former pop queen had arrived on the hard ground of reality. But somehow seemed not to itch it. Sure, it's certainly a lot of money from the beginning of their career here and although Mr Federline must now be supplied with, is enough to get out of Britney & Kids.
was actually for March 2006, a new album called "Original Doll" is planned. The date was then postponed to November 06th The date does not seem to be sure, after all, Britney is indeed pregnant again. It can therefore be scheduling changes occur. However, by 2007 Britney is launching a new album on the market. Rapper T-Pain "has written several songs for her. We can assume therefore that it returns to business with that with which she has spent the last few years, rather less successful.
Should Britney switch back to teen pop?
exactly this kind of music has made them popular. Exactly this kind of music has brought her a lot of money. And exactly this audience still buys CD's rather than the "older" generation. Sure, Britney probably feels more comfortable with their own music, but if you ever just looked on it with what songs they had success, there were not those that she herself wrote. Merely "Me Against The Music" and "Every Time I would a success for them. But who remembers the blast including "Cinderella," "Let Me Be" and "Showdown"? Right - NO ONE!
So Britney spring, please return to the old train. Because of this music you love your fans and the music just made you rich and famous. So give your image again a better reputation and show all your critics that you still can!
But maybe yes even her comeback a huge success and I was wrong! As you see the thing? If artist-itself, reflect on their roots? As an example, dt I would even call Jasmin Wagner aka "flowers". popular with artists' names, with real-name unsuccessful and now degenerated to the C-celebrity.
So, I'm looking forward to your opinions!
