Britney Spears....a Greatest Hits cd?! How?! Why?!

Spears to start family and quit singing?


29/06/2004 - 18:39:55

Pop beauty Britney Spears has decided to give up her singing career to become a full-time housewife, according to her pals.

The Toxic star - who is rumoured to be three months pregnant - is set to marry dancer Kevin Federline later this year and plans a greatest hits album to mark the end of her showbiz lifestyle before devoting herself to her new family.

A friend of Spears tells British newspaper the Daily Sport: "She's planned a greatest hits album to come out just before her wedding. Then that will be it. It will be a reminder for her fans and provide a nice little nest egg for her future family.

"She's been in show-business since she was 11 so she really needs a rest and a chance to be a normal wife and mother."

Spears is so excited about her engagement to dancer Kevin Federline, she's already met with a wedding planner.

But according to America's Star magazine, Spears has been pressing ahead with plans, setting the wedding date for 20 November, with 200 guests, five bridesmaids and five groomsmen.

One of the few factors reportedly left undecided on the matter is whether the couple will wed in Los Angeles or Spears' native Louisiana.

Ok,everybody (even those that hate her) knows about the marriage and possible pregnancy. But she has really lost her mind.... a Greatest hits?! I thought you had to qualify "professionally" for at least 10 years to have a fuckin' greatest hits cd? Hopefully, this'll be the death of her career. Make room for those who truely deserve a record deal and the spotlight. Trust me....there won't be anything so "great" about her greatest hits.

Thats crazy!

Though she probably has enough for a single disc GH. It's only been 5 years. If you ask me...it's the beginning of the end!

Britney is OVER! so says VpB

considering her biggest selling point was her dancing...and she probably won't be able to do that too much now that her knee has been broken...she is probably doing the right thing. the business takes its toll on you and she's probably had enough. she's made her money and she's been incredibly successful...much more successful in that industry than you or i. if she is calling it a day then it is probably the best decision for her. though i kind of think this retirement of sorts was probably forced on her due to her injury, which is really sad.

as for peeps saying her career was over anyway...hello? are you awake? her tour was sold out in many cities and her cd certainly sold a helluva lot for someone who is "over". whateva, treva.

A Britney's Greatest Hits CD might be something I would buy and hide in the back of the closet so no one would ever see it.

Great!! A tour sold out, wehich should have been named Playbackshow with Britney!!! The fact she has to stop coz she can't dance anymore, is also the prove that this is the only thing she CAN do... Plus the kiddies who liked her are growing older now, so they notice her fake artist thing also... yep it is over... and what else is new?

Huh? You're really taking this seriously? You really think Britney's going to settle down and do the whole wife-and-mother bit? I give this marriage about a month - and then Britney will be crying on Oprah.

i can only hope she won't stick to the "retirement".

my comments were based on the assumption that it is serious. i'm tired of trying to be a psychic, lol.

See, the pathetic thing is Lucky, Not A Girl, I Love Rock & Roll and Overprotected can hardly be called hits (at least in the U.S., which I assume is the primary market she's targeting with this album).

lol not that it would surprise me! i've come to the conclusion that most of the above article is a bunch of crap. i read an interview this morning with brits and she didn't mention quitting at all. just that a family was somewhere down the line. who knows. i guess we'll eventually find out.

I'm sure there would be a few new tracks to flesh it out. It won't be like the Guns 'N' Roses greatest hits album where the label is releasing it without the artists' consent.

I think they'll have to retitle it "7 Greatest Hits, Quite A Few Misses & Some New Shit".

Lucky was a Top 30 hit in the states as far as i remember and a Top 5 in the UK
You can also add:
"Born To Make You Happy" (#1 UK)
"From the Bottom Of My Broken Heart" (Top 20 US)
"Stronger" (#7 UK, #11 US)
"Don't Let Me Be The Last To Know (#12 UK)
"Boys" (#7 UK)

I'm not a Britney fan but I am a chart's fan. I don't think that Britney will stick to her decision but if she does it's a shame because her last two singles were really good (although I didn't like "Everytime" initially it kind of grew on me).

I really like Britney to the point where I just might pick up a greatest hits if she releases one but I think she is out of her damn mind to leave the business (monkey business, that is) for that sleaze ball. The men in her life just seem to get more cromagnon everytime!
