Britney Spears’ The Singles Collection Hits Stores Today

From the tender age of 16, Britney Spears has been one of the biggest pop stars of her generation. She’s proven that even when she’s down, she can still make a comeback. On the greatest-hits compilation The Singles Collection — out Tuesday (November 9), but a deluxe version will drop November 23 — fans can revisit their favorite hits in Spears’ catalog.

The album includes ” … Baby One More Time,” “(You Drive Me) Crazy (The Stop Remix!),” “I’m a Slave 4 U,” Toxic” and “Oops! … I Did It Again” to name a few. The album also features her latest single, “3,” the video for which premiered on her site last week.

“When I see her on set, she’s extremely professional, and it’s a job,” video director and frequent collaborator Joseph Kahn told MTV News about working with the pop star over the years. “There’s really literally no messing around. Whatever accolades she gets, she deserves.”

As for her place among some of the greatest pop artists of all time, Dave Meyers, who directed Spears in videos for “Boys,” Lucky” and, most recently, “Radar,” shared that she’s definitely vying for the Queen of Pop title with Madonna. “She kind of filled [Madonna's] shoes,” Meyers said. “[But] everything is done in a Britney way. She’s not Madonna, and Madonna is not Britney. It seems like Madonna made the same choices that were right for her at the time, to class her up when she had just done a sexpot video. She was riding that image train too. She was leading that image train, and I think that Britney has done that as well.”
