Castmates included [Justin Timberlake]?, and [Joshua Chasez]?, who later became members of the pop band N Sync, and [Christina Aguilera]?, also a pop singer. Spears now dates (and shares a house with) Timberlake.
Her first album, Baby One More Time, debuted in the number 1 spot on the [Billboard Charts]? in early 1999, and also topped the charts in the UK. The single of the same title was also a number 1 hit in many countries, and featured a memorable videoclip with Spears wearing a tied-up shirt striding provocatively through a high-school corridor. Her followup album, Oops I Did It Again was a similarly huge success.
Most fans of her melodic, bland pop music are preteen girls, who have unsurprisingly copied her dress and mannerisms. As these combine (according to Spears, literal) virginal innocence and blatant sexual provocation, this imitation has caused quite a deal of concern amongst parents at the appropriateness of often very young "tweenies" unknowingly sending out sexual signals.
Her latest album, Britney, was released in November 2001. The first single "I'm A Slave 4U" is an R&B-influenced, slightly more mature-sounding tune probably indicating Spears' attempts to grow with her audience.
