I know it's always a tough choice for me between BO, ITZ and FF!!! I think ITZ was definitely the best era.. even with the knee mishap  But somehow BO always seems to get my vote.. I just can't get over how much it still slays to this day! BTI is hotter and fresher than any song out right now tbh..

Femme Fatale and Blackout are my favorites - I am OBSESSED with FF! However, BO has that early experimental quality and slayage that so many artists even today are emulating. Gotta vote BO.

As Britney Spears prepares to release herninth studio album, Glory, on Aug. 26, it’s an appropriate time to look back on her chart-topping Billboard history. The diva has amassed an incredible string of hit singles and albums, stretching back to her 1998 debut smash “…Baby One More Time” through her current single, “Make Me.”

Britney Spears' 'Glory': Our Wish List for Her 9th Studio Album

Here’s a look at Spears’ stellar run on the charts:

70 Million in U.S. Sales: In the U.S. alone, Spears has sold more than 70 million albums, singles and digital songs, according to Nielsen Music. Her biggest-selling album is her debut effort, …Baby One More Time, with 10.6 million copies sold.

Six No. 1 Albums: The pop princess has scored six No. 1 albums on the Billboard 200chart -- all of which debuted in the top slot. All eight of her studio efforts have reached the top five on the chart. She’s additionally charted a top 10 set with the best-of package Greatest Hits: My Prerogative (peaking at No. 4 in 2004).

34 Hits on the Billboard Hot 100: Starting with her debut single, 1998’s “…Baby One More Time,” through her latest entry “Make Me,” the entertainer has notched 34 hits on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. “…Baby One More Time” flew straight to No. 1 -- her first of five leaders on the tally. She also topped the list with “Womanizer,” “3,” “Hold It Against Me” and her collaboration with Rihanna, “S&M.”

From '...Baby One More Time' to 'Britney Jean': Vote for Britney Spears' Best Album

15 Top 10s on Pop Songs: Spears has been a staple of top 40-formatted radio stations for her entire career, and she has the Pop Songs track record to prove it. Among her top 10s are six No. 1s: “…Baby One More Time” (No. 1 for five weeks), “Oops!… I Did It Again” (three weeks), “Toxic” (four weeks), “Womanizer” (two weeks), “Circus” (one week) and “I Wanna Go” (one week).

9 No. 1s on the Dance Club Songs Chart: It’s appropriate that the singer -- who is a force in both pop and dance music -- has claimed nine No. 1s on the Dance Club Songs chart. She’s led the list with such tracks as “Gimme More,” “Piece of Me,” “Break the Ice,” “Till the World Ends” and “Pretty Girls” (with Iggy Azalea).

7 Billboard Music Awards: Before Spears was honored with the Billboard Millennium Award at the 2016 Billboard Music Awards, she took home six trophies at earlier ceremonies, including female artist of the year in 1999.

Vegas, Baby! Spears’ Las Vegas residency show, Britney: Piece of Me, has played to more than 590,000 attendees and grossed over $85 million, as reported to Billboard Boxscore. So far, 163 concerts in the long-running show have been reported, from its opening night on Dec. 27, 2013 through July 13, 2016. The show has scheduled performances through February 2017.

Britney Spears' ninth album, Glory, arrives Aug. 26. It comes at an interesting, if not pivotal, point in her career, following a disappointing eighth LP and a massively successful Las Vegas residency. While we've only heard two of the 17 songs on the deluxe edition (the likable "Make Me…" ft. G-Eazy and the serviceable "Private Show"), here's our wish list forGlory -- which she called "the beginning of a new era" on Twitter -- ahead of its release.

Britney Needs to Revel in the Spotlight

Britney Jean was Spears' first album to not hit No. 1 or No. 2 on the Billboard 200 (it peaked at No. 4; insert sad/shocked emoji of your choice). Part of that soft landing was undoubtedly due to Britney's lack of promotional appearances, remaining out of the public eye for much of the release period. But in 2016, that doesn't seem to be a problem anymore. Her Las Vegas residency keeps pulling in rave word-of-mouth reviews, and her Instagram game is keeping her regularly in the news cycle. Plus, she'salready done Kimmel, indicating she'll be making more of an effort surrounding the release of Glory. By and large, the public has warm feelings toward Britney -- everyone wants her to succeed. She should take the spotlight right now and revel in it.

The Advertisements Should Be Better Hidden

"Perfume" had its defenders among diehards, but the second (and final) single fromBritney Jean was D.O.A. for the pop world at large. And honestly, even as a Britney fan, it was hard to root for that one. It was a song called "Perfume" being used to sell her latest perfume. Sia gamely tried to imbue some meaning into the lyrics, but it ultimately came across as an ad stretched into a song.

So far, things are looking a bit better on Glory. "Private Show," the instant grat track with pre-orders (also available below), shares its name with her latest perfume. So yes, once again, Brit is using a song to sell us her product. But at least the song being used to shill perfume isn't directly talking about perfume, right?

Britney Needs to Take a Few Vocal Risks

Britney is no vocal powerhouse, but she has an interesting vocal tone that is actually a lot more malleable than detractors give her credit for. She can sell sensuality under many different guises, she can do heartbreak (although she can often overdo heartbreak, too), she can provide empowerment and she can soundtrack the dancefloor party like a sassy student of Madonna. Britney Jean may have been stylistically diverse, but vocally, she was in the same territory on most of the songs. "Work Bitch," the one song where she did take some risks via that hilarious faux British accent ("Go call the guv-uh-nah!"), was the album's clear standout. Hopefully Gloryfinds her playing around with her voice a bit and delivering something we haven't heard from her over and over.

Special Guests Must Be Chosen Carefully

Britney collaborations can be the stuff dreams are made of. Her intricately plotted Madonna duet "Me Against the Music" is still a shining moment in her career, and will.i.am's "Scream & Shout" gave her a fresh new sound to work with. But disaster can strike when Britney enters the studio with another artist and no original game plan. Spears & will's second collab "It Should Be Easy" seemed like an attempt to milk the same cow long after it went dry, and the notorious "Chillin' With You" sounded like the two Spears sisters showed up in the studio with the barest sketch of a song, recorded for 10 minutes and called it a day. So we're hoping that on Glory, Britney's collaborators are chosen carefully, and the resulting material is given a more critical ear.

Sexual Wordplay: More Coy, Less Contrived

It's a Britney album, so there's no doubt things will get #frisky -- the presence of an "explicit" version of Glory on iTunes (which should be titled Glory Hole, tbh) speaks to that. But sometimes Britney's late-night lyrics need to be re-read the next morning with a more sober mind. The phonetic joke of "If U Seek Amy" hasn't aged well (it was funny once, but after a few listens, it's just lame), nor has the inscrutable "3" lyric "1-2-3, Peter, Paul and Mary" (what do '60s folk singers have to do with a ménage a trois?). Sex was part of Britney's persona from day 1 (even before she was of age -- blame the label, not her), but there's a point where it goes from coy to contrived. Here's hoping she strikes the right balance (see: Femme Fatale) on Glory.
