The not-that-innocent Spears has evolved from Mouseketeer to one of the bestselling artists of the last decade, selling over 63 albums worldwide. But then something went wrong -- very wrong -- somewhere after her breakup with Justin Timberlake and before her hookup with K. Fed, Spears made a wrong turn and fell down the rabbit hole.

In my heart of hearts I wish they were exaggerating with that figure, with the actual being more like 50. In a perfect world, I'm right.

Then again, her family tree given free copies shouldn't count, so make it 10.

No, I just hate rap, I don't want it to make a comeback, I want it to die!

I have to listen to it at work. After I get off, though, I get my rush fix and jam with it for an hour.

My band's debut album sold out of our original run of 500 copies. Does this mean I've sold more albums than Britney Spears?
