Rolling Stone's Best 500 Albums of All Time (2020) In The Zone should have also been included. To be fair a Britney Spears album showing up on a "best of..." list even just a few years ago would have been laughed at; critics just weren't there for her (or Pop music in general). I'm glad her music is getting more recognition tho, even if it's several years too late. Blackout was a great work, specially on her circumstances at the time, but I've also seen way more people unashamedly admit they like her classics like "...Baby One More Time", "Toxic" and the like.

I know I've seen a few Britney fans feeling she wasnt supporting Britney and should have said free her but I think she was being respectful of her privacy and meant it in a good way. She has always said she loves her.

variety.com/2020/music/news/britney-spears-wins-right-to-expand-legal-team-in-conservatorship-case-1234805044/Britney Spears Wins Right to Expand Legal Team in Conservatorship CaseBritney Spears won a minor victory Wednesday in her conservatorship battle against her father, Jamie Spears: The singer will be allowed to expand her legal team, after a petition request was granted. Britney, 38, is seeking to have Jamie removed from her conservatorship, which has been in effect for 12 years. She was not present for the latest hearing, although though her mother, Lynne Spears, Jamie and her attorney, Samuel Ingham were. Jamie had opposed Britney’s petition, citing the cost of adding more lawyers. Jamie Spears has been Britney’s co-conservator since 2008 when she suffered a very public breakdown. He became sole conservator in 2019 after attorney Andrew Wallet resigned from his co-conservatorship. Jamie Spears is recovering from treatment of a ruptured colon, after which Spears postponed her lucrative Las Vegas residency and later checked herself into a health facility for a month-long stay. Hipgnosis Songs Acquires L.A. Reid’s Song Catalog, With Hits by Whitney Houston, Bobby Brown The #FreeBritney movement has long argued that the singer is essentially being held captive by the conservatorship, and for years fans have gathered outside the court hearings and cited what they claim are secret calls for help in the singer’s social media posts. However, in a filing in August, Spears’ attorney said the conservatorship is “voluntary,” and that the singer is “strongly opposed” to her father remaining the sole conservator. “Britney strongly believes it is consistent not only with her personal best interests but also with good public policy generally that the decision to appoint a new conservator of her estate be made in as open and transparent a manner as possible,” Ingham wrote. Spears is petitioning that her temporary conservator, Jodi Montgomery, take on the role permanently. Furthermore, the document states that Britney Spears opposes her father’s continued control over her estate and would like to regain oversight of her finances. As the filing reads: “Britney … strongly prefers to have a qualified corporate fiduciary appointed to serve in this role.” The court has granted Jamie Spears to be paid around $130,000 annually by his daughter’s estate for his role as conservator, and according to court documents obtained by ET, the largest expense of Britney’s estate in 2018 was her legal and conservator fees, which, in total, equaled over $1.1 million for that year.

I loathe the Funko Pop phenomenon but I’d buy that Aaliyah one in a heartbeat. Maybe the Britney Stewardess one.
IIRC, there was a BOMT T-shirt and Pop Vinyl combo, and also a Slave 4 U VMA Pop vinyl exclusive to Target.

So happy for Britney. It's a step in the right direction.
Also, during the latest court session, some rather interesting facts came to light.

She's just sharing her wisdom with the world. What a generous queen. We don't deserve her.

Folks really asking what’s up with her like we don’t know she’s been mentally abused and controlled for the past 10 years.

I'm not saying that her people are controlling her social media but it's been widely speculated that they want her to look abnormal to use it as an excuse to extend the conservatorship. Just saying.

I guess I assumed they would want her to look normal as proof that the conservatorship and her treatment are actually working, thus a reason to extend it. It’s all too much to digest lol

It’s all too much to digest lol No because then there would be no reason for the C-Ship to continue. People don’t stay in rehab forever once they get clean. C-Ships are meant for people who are completely mentally handicapped or comatose. No one that’s ever been in a C-Ship recorded albums and toured the world like Britney did.

When my friends and co-workers, who do not even check for Britney in the slightest, are sending me these IG posts and think they're bizarre, I know things are going off the rails. I just do not understand.

I feel like we’ve entered the Blackout era Part II without the killer soundtrack.

The album that never ends... I mean 'THE TORTURED POETS DEPARTMENT: THE ANTHOLOGY' out now!

So maybe it's just me but with the release of Mood Ring to streaming services earlier this year, I was actually sort of not expecting but hoping that that would mean new music would be on the horizon because why else would she release it all of a sudden. Also the change of the Glory cover. It all seemed to come out of nowhere so I thought I would just throw that out into the universe even if no one cares haha.

I just do not understand. I feel like her team is trying to make her look ‘crazy’ again to the public with all these posts... or maybe she’s just having fun with all these pics and videos. Hopefully we’ll get the answers sooner or later

I’ll never forget listening to this for the first time and being so incredibly impressed and moved. Blackout and ITZ still trade places at the top regularly for me, but Blackout is a mood unlike anything else in her discography.
