message: What, is that clever vandalism or something? Even if Spears co-wrote some songs on her album, that does not qualify her as a singer-songwriter. From the article: "Singer-songwriter is a term that refers to performers who write, compose and sing their own material including lyrics and melodies. They often provide the sole accompaniment to an entire composition or song, typically using a guitar or piano. A number of other well-known musicians may write some of their own songs, but are usually referred to as singers instead." Bolding courtesy of me. As far as I'm concerned, Spears has not composed any songs, as that would require her to play an instrument, which, other than a couple of amateur guitar lessons courtesy of ex-boyfriend Justin Timberlake [1], she can't play any. Not only that, singer-songwriters are known to write all of their material throughout their entire careers, something Britney hasn't done as well. I'll remove the singer-songwriter part from the article. --Whip it! Now whip it good! 04:13, 21 April 2009 (UTC)

thread_title:  That's Where You Take Me, a single or not??? 

message: I added the "worldwide appearance" portion, because Britney appeared on Australia, Germany, Mexico, Japan, Korea. She promoted her album there, i searched up the IMDB website and there are so many TV appearances, live performances that are missed in this article that's why I added that. I hope that helps!  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Adelbutt123 (talk • contribs) 13:30, 7 August 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Addiotional Sources For The Promotion  

message: Stop saying "Anticipating" and "That's Where You Take Me" are promos. Both have the cd single on it's article. Promos don't have singles. The promos are plain white cds just to promote the album. A company is not going to waste money making a promo so pretty looking. In that case, "Toxic" and "Everytime" aren't singles either, because I've seen promos of both those songs. Search ebay, amazon, or the general internet, you will find the promos of those. Plus they have a decorated cd single but apparently Jive likes to spend money on nothing. Grow up! Accept the fact that they are singles!! There's nothing you can do about it. All four songs have the CD single and citations. Delete two, you have to delete the rest too!! Deal with it! Someone go ask Jive Records. You could ask Britney but she might not even know, they don't tell the artist everything.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Avram44 (talk • contribs) 22:23, 16 February 2010 (UTC)

thread_title:  Wording 

message: I propose that Britney: The Videos be merged into this article. There is such little content in The Videos article that I feel it would be best to merge the sourced content into a section within the main album's article. The synopsis is nothing more than an advertisement, so that can even be removed completely, leaving just a brief paragraph description and the DVD contents.

thread_title:  Merger proposal 

message: The introduction to the article makes no sense. It says that the singles proved to be extremely successful, but then it says "Consequentually, it became her first album not to have any single reach the top 10", which makes no sense, if something, that proves that the singles were not successful, at least compared to her previous ones. --Freddy eduardo (talk) 19:00, 29 December 2013 (UTC)

thread_title:  mangled certification table entries 

message: There has been some misunderstanding regarding the inclusion of the image. Please notice that whether or not the pictures look alike, it is not the same disc and it does not have the same content. The inclusion of the image, as well as the chronology of Britney's video discs is due to a lack of information regarding the matter. Having used the same artwork to both the CD and the DVD does not mean that they are the same nor does it disqualifies the image to being included here and it does not it violates the fair use of images policies (WP:FAIRUSE, WP:IUP and WP:AAFFD). Plus, the idea of a content "not being necessary" isn't an excuse to delete it. And the image is only to be included in this article simply because there is no self article to the DVD and this is the corresponding CD to the DVD plus its tracklist is listed here. Removing it would be taking off important information "simply because the artwork is the same". To search foward, look for articles of films with soundtrack content on it. Lots of them have the same artwork for the movie and soundtrack (Big Hero 6 and The Lion King (musical)). Thanks for comprehension. - Artmanha (talk) 22:51, 1 April 2015 (UTC)

replies: text: How come they are not the same when are both identical only adapted for different editions of the release? The DVD artwork is needless in the article, and per SNUGGUMS it fails the policy. It should be removed, or an article for the DVD album has to be created in order to be placed in that infobox. — Tomíca(T2ME) 09:46, 2 April 2015 (UTC)

thread_title: Assessment comment

message: I check pages listed in :Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of :Britney (album)'s orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.
Reference named "ultratop":
From My Only Wish (This Year): 
From Break the Ice (Britney Spears song): 
From I Wanna Go: 
From From the Bottom of My Broken Heart: 
From Everytime: 
From If U Seek Amy: 
From B in the Mix: The Remixes: 
From Britney & Kevin: Chaotic (EP): 
From Circus (song): 
From Till the World Ends:

From Greatest Hits: My Prerogative:

message: How is it possible to believe that this album sold 15 million copies when the country wherevit sold the most was the USA and it sold 4.9 million there and it didn't sell more than 500,000 in any other country, 8 or 9 million is a good numbee but 15 even 12 million is an INSANE amount.

thread_title:  15 million copies ?? 

message: The album has sold to date over 15 million copies there are alot of sources that claims that, and using a 2002 source (barely 1 year later after its release when it was still charting and selling) is irrelevant.why her page are controled by people who hates her and put subjective info about her there are sources that claims its at 15 mil level why do people change it to 9 mil just because they think it didnt sell that. your page gives the wrong info.SHAME. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 46.120.161.125 (talk) 
::Agree that 9 million claim seems to be a low figure based on available sales and certifications. But: 15 million copies is an inflated figure and that gap between available sales/certifications with most relevant markets, still being a notorious gap for a 2000's release and which is "acceptable" to have reverted it. Maybe you can help to find out a reliable source with showing around 10-11 million. --Apoxyomenus (talk) 19:31, 10 September 2021 (UTC)
thread_title:  15 million 

message: There's no way this album only sold 9 - 10 million copies worldwide. In USA it sold x4 Platinum in one month after the official release (the latest RIAA update was in December 2001 and the album was released in November 2001). 
It is stated by official sources that "Britney" album sold more than 7 million copies before the end of 2001 year, so we are talking about 7 million WW sales in two months. 
The album by now is at least 15 million copies worldwide considering that in 2002 "Britney" had  some singles released and a Worldwide Tour that keept boosting her worldwide sales of this album. All certification data that we have nowadays is from 2001 or the beginning of 2002. 
It's time for "Britney" to be recognised with the actual number of sales that really has sold WW and update once and for all her certifications cause they are VERY OUTDATED. In conclusion nowadays "Britney" sales at least are 15 million copies WW. 88.7.36.115 (talk) 11:49, 3 July 2022 (UTC)
