Britney Spears is the bona fide princess of pop. So much so, that she now has countless pretenders trying to steal her crown--just take a look at Christina Aguilera (raunchy Britney), Mandy Moore (baby Britney) and Jessica Simpson (holier-than-holy Britney)--yet Oops! I Did It Again delivers many reasons why she isn't stepping down. There's the chart-topping title track which has already implanted itself into the psyche of an entire generation, the tragic "Lucky" with its refrain, "She's so lucky, she's a star, But she cry, cry, cries in her lonely heart", the swelling pleas of "Don't Let Me Be The Last To Know" written by Mr & Mrs Shania Twain and the self-penned teenage angst of "Dear Diary". There are plenty of uptempo tubthumpers as well as a cover version of the Rolling Stones' "(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction" which just has to be heard to be believed. As a follow-up to her phenomenally successful debut album Baby One More Time this is pure pop perfection. It looks like she did it again. --Helen Marquis
