The eponymous lead single shattered ’NSync’s freshly set record for most radio station adds in a single week. Towering above all pop culture totems was a 5-foot-4 ex-Mouseketeer turned teenaged Marilyn, who sold more first-week albums than any female artist ever had-1,319,000 copies-nearly triple that of the previous record-holder (Alanis Morissette). Santana drank the blood of the Product G&B for eternal youth, and no one has heard from them since. Sisqó introduced the globe to the concept of underwear minimalism. The Billboard singles charts were a game of musical chairs between ’NSync, the Backstreet Boys, Enrique Iglesias, Christina Aguilera, Ricky Martin, Destiny’s Child, Eminem, and Nelly. Monica had just spurned Tom Selleck to accept Chandler’s marriage proposal.
Gladiator, an anachronistic swords-and-sandals epic, dominated the box office.
Stock in both America Online and peroxide manufacturers was at an all-time high.
#Oops i did it again album tv#
In the middle of May, at the dawn of the millennium, Bill Clinton was still president, unemployment limboed to its lowest rate since the late ’60s, and Survivor was still two weeks away from ushering in the reality TV takeover. The ’90s were only a few months gone, and a lacquered mirage of peace, prosperity, and maximal pop gleamed on the infinite horizon. She definitely knew what she wanted and what she liked-that’s what makes her Britney.There was a lot to consider, but no one had time for that. She was still young and innocent, and then all of a sudden, she comes out in this vixen-y, sexy, skin-tight outfit. “Even with her little schoolgirl outfit, she’s really set a precedent for always coming out in something very memorable,” Stanley says. She still admires the singer’s razor-sharp creativity when it comes to her own look and videos and greatly attributes the success of “Oops!” to Spears’s initial vision. More than two decades later, the stylist says working with Spears was one of her wildest, most fun projects. The video was one of Spears’s most acclaimed-bouffant ponytail and all. “But she was a trooper and went right back to work,” recalls Stanley. During a scene where Spears is lying down and the camera is pointed at her from above, a piece of the camera became dislodged and hit her on the back of the head. She had a very intense day, to say the least.” “After one take, I unzipped her, and it literally looked like a bucket of water poured out of this jumpsuit. “I was nervous that she would pass out.” The stylist’s fears were (partially) realized. “If you put a latex outfit on, you’re immediately sweating, and I knew she was going to be dancing all day,” says Stanley. Spears immediately loved it, though Stanley had initial reservations about the piece’s clingy material. Stanley landed the job through that connection and the fact that at the time Spears was dating *NSYNC heartthrob Justin Timberlake.īush had a little longer than two minutes to create something, but not much longer: He ended up creating the red latex suit overnight. (She styled the boy band’s videos “Bye Bye Bye” and “It’s Gonna Be Me.) She had also worked with the music video’s director, Nigel Dick, before. Stanley had a reputation for styling all of the hottest early-aughts pop artists-think Sugar Ray, Smash Mouth, and *NSYNC. And in honor of the album’s anniversary, Vogue called up Estee Stanley, the video’s stylist, to reminisce about that now famous costume. When you think Spears, you think of that red latex jumpsuit. The track’s space-age music video is downright iconic. On that famed record, the queen of the 2000s churned out some of her biggest hits, such as “Stronger” and “Lucky.” But it’s her lead single, with the same title as the album, that’s lodged most firmly in our memory and not just for its earworm-y chorus. Here’s an anniversary you may have missed: It has now been 20 years since the pop princess Britney Spears released her second studio album, Oops!…I Did It Again.
