…Baby One More Time – Britney Spears (1999)
The first album I ever owned was …Baby One More Time by Britney Spears. I was around six years old at the time and I literally remember bragging to all of my friends that my mom ordered the CD for me (Why we didn’t buy it from the store I have no idea!) and that it was going to be the best day ever when it came. Like many other kids in the ’90s, I think that we were drawn to Britney because of her catchy songs, slick dance choreography and style. I even had a couple of Britney Spears Barbie dolls. Because of my age, of course I wasn’t fully aware of what her lyrics meant, but hey, they sounded good and I could dance to them. And that’s all I needed.
