We were getting closer and closer to B9 everyone!!
Britney took some time out of schedule (and the filming of the music video for her upcoming single “Make Me”) to take E!Q in 42. She then spoke about her upcoming new fragrance “Private Show” and also spoke about the song “Private Show” she recorded for her upcoming album.
Click here to watch the two videos and also to read the rest of the interview!
We can’t wait to hear the song “Private Show!
Welcome back to another edition of ‘Discover Britney,’ where we highlight Britney songs that were not released as singles. This way, you can share a song a week with people that have not yet had the chance to hear flawless tracks from Britney’s albums. Spread the word!
If you are an avid Britney stan, you will know that almost every track from a Britney album (in an ideal world) should have been released as a single. So many people have been deprived of some of the most timeless tracks and we feel that they should be heard. Join BritneyGalaxy on Spotify, where we will add one track a week to our ‘Discover Britney’ playlist. Your gym playlist is set for life!
(I GOT THAT) BOOM BOOM
(I Got That) Boom Boom was originally intended to be the second single off Britney’s ‘In The Zone,’ album, it even went as far as a radio release and confirmation. A very last minute change and a bit of a push from Britney, ‘Toxic,’ made the cut instead. We are not complaining, as Toxic was definitely the right choice, but this absolute gem deserved the video treatment too. Only problem is, so did every other track on ‘In The Zone.’ The album is timeless.
Years before any artist even dreamed of mixing modern day pop with an experimental Southern sound, Britney added a beat so country to her track, you can almost taste the effects of the ‘Southern Fried Pop’ Explosion! ‘This is for my Southern boys out there,’ chants Britney, kicking off one of the best dance breaks we have heard in a track for centuries! Sorry to disappoint but Britney did ‘Wake Me Up’ and ‘Daddy Lessons,’ ages ago and boy, it was groundbreaking! Taking a look back at Britney’s discography, it is amazing to see exactly how much of an influence Britney has on modern day pop.
‘She’s Naked, she’s soaking wet.’ The Ying Yang twins absolutely smash their rap addition to this hip-hop influenced number giving the song that extra edge to blow you away in a dance club. Britney’s sex appeal is on point as per usual adding the perfect amount of sultry groans to add that extra bit of Boom to bring out your inner sexy. Just look at the dance number above, what a way to ‘Britney-ney’ (The ‘ney-ney’ with actual sex appeal). Let this be a lesson to your faves. ‘I don’t think you should wait, one minute might be too late,’ we have already called the cab…
Best Lyrics: ‘Twilly- Twilly” and ‘I begin to dance just a little bit, to turn you on.’
Songwriters: Roy ‘Royalty’ Hamilton, Chyna Royal, Deongelo Holmes, Eric Jackson
Producers: Roy Hamilton

Today we celebrate the 16th Birthday of Britney’s iconic ‘Oops!…I Did It Again Tour.’
The ”Oops!… I Did It Again World Tour” was Britney’s first world tour, reaching North America, Europe and Brazil. The show was more elaborate than her previous tour and included pyrotechnics and other special effects. Reviewers praised the tour, adding that the concert “proved that many criticisms are off-base observations from people who have never actually attended shows.” Britney was guaranteed a minimum of $200,000 per show before the tour began, and many of the shows sold out in one day.
The Oops!… I Did It Again World Tour grossed $52,143,517 with 1,452,014 million in attendance and became the second highest-grossing tour of the year by a solo artist.
This was Britney’s first time touring outside Northern America, “I’m going to go to Europe, and just basically go everywhere for six months, […] I’ve never toured outside of the U.S. I’ve never experienced other fans in other places, and performing in front of them is going to be so exciting.”
Tour sponsors from the 2000 leg of the ‘…Baby One More Time Tour,’ Got Milk? and Polaroid, remained. Clairol’s Herbal Essences was also added as a sponsor. Britney recorded a song for the latter called “I’ve Got the Urge to Herbal” to be used on their radio campaign. Although there was a later photo shoot, Britney initially chose to miss a photo shoot for the product when she decided to support an 86-day strike by the Screen Actors Guild (SAG). She later donated $1 from each ticket sold from her Inglewood, California show on July 28, 2000 to the union.
For the European Leg of the Tour, Britney originally was going joint with *NSYNC following their No Strings Attached Tour, as a co-headliner. However she ended up with her own headlining tour.
Jamie King was chosen as the tour’s director, who also worked on Britney’s Circus Tour. Britney described the tour as “like a Broadway show”.The set-list included material from her first studio album …Baby One More Time (1999) as well as seven songs from Oops!… I Did It Again. “I’ve been singing the same material for so long now. It’ll be nice to change it up a little bit.”
The ‘theater style’ stage included video screens, movable platforms and different props.It cost $2.2 million to build. For the performance of “Born to Make You Happy”, Britney sang in a set resembling a children’s bedroom, complete with large toys and a pillow fight routine. On the contrary, she unveiled a more sophisticated image for “Don’t Let Me Be the Last to Know”, and followed it with raunchy performances for “…Baby One More Time” and “Oops!… I Did It Again”.
Britney was praised for singing live, whilst at the same time keeping to her high energy dance routine. Critics were impressed with her ability to juggle the two with such ease, which is unheard of in the industry.
The show began with the video introduction “The Britney Spears Experience”, in which three images of Britney welcomed spectators to the show.Then, a giant metal orb was lowered onstage and lifted again to reveal Britney standing behind it, wearing glittery jeans and an orange (also pink) halter top. Britney started with two dance-oriented performances of ”(Your Drive Me) Crazy” and ”Stronger.” This was followed by “What U See (Is What U Get)” in which she danced around a stripper pole. The first set ended with Brit talking to the audience and sitting on a stool to perform ”From The Bottom Of My Broken Heart,” with her guitarist Skip.
After she left the stage, there was a video interlude hosted by *NSYNC in which contestants did different games in order to meet Britney. She appeared onstage to meet the chosen fan and then welcomed the audience into her ‘bedroom.’ Wearing pajamas and slippers, she performed ”Born To Make You Happy”, which included a dance segment near the end. ‘Lucky’ featured a navy theme, followed by ‘Sometime,’ in which she wore an outfit similar to the one she wore in the music video of the song. At the end, she climbed the staircase and briefly spoke to the audience before moving into a performance of ”Don’t Let Me Be The Last To Know,” for which she wore a long white dress trimmed with boa feathers.
Britney then reappeared to perform her cover of Sonny & Cher’s, ‘The Beat Goes On.’ During the performance, she was lifted into the air wearing a kimino that covered most of the stage. She continued with “Don’t Go Knockin’ On My Door” and her cover of The rolling Stone’s ‘(I Can’t Get No) Satisfaction’, which ended with a dance sequence set to the original version. Britney then took to the stage in a conservative schoolgirl outfit to perform ”…Baby One More Time,” which she ripped off halfway through the song to reveal a cheerleader ensemble.
Britney then thanked the audience and left the stage. She returned shortly after to perform ”Oops!… I Did It Again,” that included pyrotechnics and other special effects.She ended the performance disappearing through a tunnel of fire.
On November 30, 2000, the September 20 concert at the Louisiana Superdrome in New Orleans aired on Fox. The special was titled There’s No Place Like Home.The show at London Arena was filmed and broadcast by Sky1. The show at Rock In Rio was broadcast on DirecTV.

Happy Birthday Oopsney!
Welcome back to another week of Planet Britney, where we summarize all things Britney related from last week into one easy and simple post, perfect for those of you who just simply do not have the time to catch up on Britney news every single day.
WE LOVE YOU ORLANDO!
We would like to kick off this week’s edition, by expressing our deepest condolences to the families who lost loved ones in the Orlando shooting. We have spent hours trying to understand how someone can be so cruel and how you can take away an innocent life, a conundrum we will never be able to solve. The world is still at mourning and our heart ache will never stop. Britney shared an endearing post this week, that sums up our feelings:
I have not been able to find words to express how I feel about what happened in Orlando. Music and dance take me to a wonderful, happy, safe place… and for this to happen in a place where people enjoy those things makes me so sad. This has to stop. We need to accept and love people for who they are. This is truly an attack against all of us, and I’m praying that we can join together and find a solution. ❤️????
Join us in the fight to stop gun crimes! The world is a better place without guns. Make your voice heard.
