Description: Appearing as the opening support for *NSYNC¡¯s 1998 tour paled into insignificance with the release, in December 1998, of her first solo single, '¡­Baby One More Time', which achieved 9 million sales worldwide. Dressed in a provocative Catholic-schoolgirl outfit in the memorable video, the debate over sexual exploitation raged, spurring record sales. A hugely successful first album was succeeded by the hit-laden 'Oops I did It Again', a skilful retread of the formula.

Dating teen heartthrob Justin Timberlake, they made the perfect pop couple, until the relationship died three years later.
