I think the general rule here is that an article for something should be created if and only if there's enough interesting to be said about it. For some musical group, the level of group is probably all that's interesting. For many others. clearly there's something to be said for individual albums. But I can't imagine many individual songs about which there is enough to say in an encyclopedia article, with a few exceptions like "Stairway to Heaven" or "Revolution 1". For Britney, I think the album level is quite sufficient. -- LDC
I expanded the article to prove it could be done. Comments? Tuf-Kat
This is just way too much. Not only should these images not appear anywhere but on the articles for the singles, but they are way too huge and all of the information shown here should already be in the individual articles for the singles. All of this is absolutely not needed here - it looks like a fansite. - eo 17:29, 13 March 2007 (UTC)
As of July 2009, the album has sold 9,184,000 copies in the U.S. according to Nielsen SoundScan and USA Today News with additional 1,210,000 sold at BMG Music Clubs click here However, Nielsen SoundScan does not count albums sold through clubs like the BMG Music Service, which were significantly popular in the 1990's. link
According to the "People Magazine" Oops!...I Did It Again had sold 19 million copies worldwide since October 7, 2002. I added that! That's the only reliable source I can trust, but since the source was on 2002, after 7 years the album sales could go upper/higher than that. But in her website www.britney.com on her career highlights, "Oops!...I Did It Again" sold only 17 million copies...but the certifications there are false like Mexicos' AMPROFON certification and the Brazilian's ADBP are did not match on its websites..I do not trust this site...please site an reliable source on changing the worldwide sales figure. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Adelbutt123 ( talk • contribs) 08:24, 6 August 2009 (UTC)
Oops!...I Did It Again is listed on the Wikipedia article of best selling albums worldwide. Maybe it is worth noting in the opening paragraph? —Preceding

According to the US Billboard Charts. The album spent;
The total length of the tracks equals to 44:30 duration.
Production portion According the Yahoo! Music News on January 7, 2000,
"When I did the first album, I had just turned 16. I mean, when I look at the album cover, I'm like, 'Oh, my lordy,'" she says. "I know this next album's going to be totally different--especially the material. I just got finished recording the first six songs in Sweden two months ago, and the material is so much more funkier and edgier. And, of course, it's more mature because I've grown as a person too." The new album reportedly contains contributions from Max Martin, Eric Foster White, Diane Warren, and Babyface, among others.
I added a production portion, so that others can know the process of the record... —Preceding unsigned comment added by Adelbutt123 ( talk • contribs) 08:30, 28 August 2009 (UTC)
can we keep a clean list of all the stuff she did to promote this album. someone keeps deleting all the performances and appearances she did this era, she did a lot more promoting this album then what's on this page. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Born2booze ( talk • contribs) 15:03, 29 June 2010 (UTC)

Oops!... I Did It Again → Oops!... I Did It Again (album) – The album gets more hits than the song. However, even when the album has hit songs, the titular song itself... let's say that many people can associate it as a catchphrase for Britney Spears... or a song itself. If the album is disambiguated, the hits will probably go down. Moreover, should the primary topic of the same name be the song or the dab page? By the way, I did not intend to request the renaming. I shall give credit to Status ( talk · contribs), who introduced the idea in the talk page. George Ho ( talk) 23:33, 3 March 2013 (UTC)

Everything, but one unrelated album, on Oops!... I Did It Again (disambiguation) has to do with the Britney Spears album in some way: the title track, the tour for the album, and a Britney Spears compilation record. So, it only makes sense to me to change the name and add a note via Template:About, like Highway to Hell, Future Nostalgia or American Idiot. Whitevenom187 ( talk) 18:04, 13 November 2020 (UTC)
Oops I did it Again sold more than 20 million copies worldwide by 2002, the certification numbers are CRIMINALLY OUTDATED and by now this album has sold at least +25 million copies worldwide. RIAA officially certified this album x9 Platinum in March 2001 (so less than a year since the release in may 2000).
RIAA latest update was in January 2005 when this album was already Diamond (x10 Platinum). 88.7.36.115 ( talk) 12:01, 3 July 2022 (UTC)
