Music Magazine Britney Spears Fanbook First Edition Back Issue

28 September 1998 is a date that probably doesn’t ring many bells, but in the world of pop music it’s arguably one of the most important days in history, for on that particularly Monday a 16-year-old by the name of Britney Spears released a song that would transform music and pave the way for a slew of future stars to follow in her groundbreaking steps. While the world found itself captivated by this pirouetting schoolgirl a star that had been steadily on the rise suddenly exploded into the stratosphere. As the records tumbled and the dollars stacked up Britney stormed every stage imaginable, her glistening smile and catchy lyrics projected from TV screens, radio shows, billboards, posters and even in cinemas, But just who was this bolt-from-the-blue pop pioneer? Where had she come from, and where could her talent and natural marketability take her? This is the story of the real Britney Spears, from her humble Louisiana childhood to her quest for stardom, glittering career and tumultuous private life, including her well-documented struggles and continuing battle against the constraints of a conservatorship that has sparked a movement. At times outrageous, at others a circus, it’s 100 percent Britney. Turn the page and step into the world of an icon who continues to defy the odds.
