…Baby One More Time is the debut album by American pop singer Britney Spears. It was released on January 12, 1999 (see 1999 in music) in the U.S. and was produced by Denniz PoP, Max Martin and Rami. The title track is generally considered Spears' signature song. It is her best-selling album both in the U.S. and internationally and propelled the then-seventeen-year-old to superstardom during the year of its release. The album also spent an impressive fifty-one weeks in the top ten of the Billboard 200 and sixty weeks in the top twenty. With this, it became the second best-selling album of 1999 in the United States, only behind Backstreet Boys's Millennium. It stayed on the Billboard 200 for two years until being moved to the Pop Catalog chart. This album, its lyrics, and its music videos maintained the typical virgin image of the late 90's teen pop revival for Spears. ...Baby One More Time can be counted as the highest selling debut album by a female artist in the United States. The song, ...Baby One More Time became a US #1 hit from this album, however of the singles from this album, only the title track has topped the Hot 100. The rest are either Top 10 or Top 20 hits.The album has sold more than 28 million copies worldwide. [1]

The album was first released as a promo cassette with five snippets of demo songs on January 2, 1998. The cassette had the same cover that was later included in "...Baby One More Time" single booklet, although some editions, like the Australian edition, have an alternate cover picture, a picture of Spears in white, with her hands in a praying gesture. The picture also resembles the cover artwork of Björk's album Debut. The album was then meant to be named just "Britney Spears", but due to the debut single success the title was changed to make the album more recognized in the public. In the very early releases of the album, there is a hidden message after "The Beat Goes On". It had Britney Spears promoting some of the songs from the Backstreet Boys' album Millennium.

The record has been certified 14x Platinum in the United States.[2] It is the highest selling album by a teenager both in the US and worldwide.

In France, the record debuted at number twenty-four, after thirty-eight weeks in the chart peaked at number-four,[4] it has sold over 545,000 copies[5] and has been certified 2x Platinum.[6] In the United Kingdom ...Baby One More Time debuted at number two, after one year in the UK Albums Chart earned 4x platinum certification (1.2 million units sold).[7]
