Britney Spears Marks 10 Years Since Last Album As Streaming Numbers Soar Globally.

The Princess of Pop is proving that her legacy is untouchable. It has officially been one decade since Britney Spears released her last studio album, yet her presence in the music industry remains as dominant as ever. Since her 2016 hiatus from full-length projects, Spears has only released one official single—the 2022 hit "Hold Me Closer" with Elton John, which has already surpassed 2 million copies sold worldwide.

Despite the lack of new records, the world is still listening. Britney currently maintains a massive 46 million monthly listeners on Spotify, securing her spot among the top 80 most-listened-to artists on the planet. Whether she’s in the studio or not, the "Britney Army" ensures her timeless discography continues to break records every single day.

Sofia Coppola just admitted that she "would love to" make a movie about Britney Spears.

The Hollywood director has admitted she's become fascinated as well as inspired with the pop star's life story - reading her memoir The Woman In Me and re-watching her old interviews.

Speaking about the notorious pictures of Spears with a shaved head bashing a paparazzi's car with an umbrella during a public breakdown in 2007, Coppola told ELLE magazine: "I thought it was such a punk moment... She’s become this symbol of women’s rights. That would never happen to a man."

When asked about a movie version of the singer's life, the director admits she fears Wicked director Jon Chu has beaten her to the Britney story.

She said: "Supposedly Jon Chu is doing it, but I hope - yeah, I would love to do that story,” adding, "I try not to analyze it too much, when I’m into something".

Elsewhere in the interview, Coppola also revealed she has shelved her new Kirsten Dunst movie because "it felt too sad."

She had been planning to reunite with the actress - who she previously worked with on The Virgin Suicides, Marie Antoinette and The Beguiled - for the mysterious project which was said to tell the story of a real life historical figure.

However, Sofia Coppola told ELLE: "It felt too sad. It’s confusing in these dark times. I want to offer some hope and beauty in the world, but then you also don’t want to do something shallow, because it feels like a time for deep things."

"I wish her nothing but the best. Hope she stays well and recovers soon. I think the most important thing right now is your privacy. I ask the media to step back. How certain news is reported often makes matters worse. Give her the space and respect she deserves at this difficult time. " - Sam Asghari

Justin Timberlake has been left fuming over plans for Britney Spears’ long-awaited biopic — and a source says he isn’t staying quiet about his feelings.

Set to be directed by Jon M. Chu of Wicked fame, the flick is based on the pop star’s 2023 memoir The Woman in Me, which portrayed the “Better Place” singer in a negative light.

“Justin is seething about being painted as the villain once again,” the source say online. “He doesn’t want his name dragged through the mud in every multiplex on the planet, so Justin’s been using some of his power to let industry insiders know how displeased he is.”

Among Spears’ unsavory accusations in the book were that the ’NSync alum “slept around” during their three-year relationship, pushed her into getting an abortion and ended things in 2002 via “text message,” as recapped by Today,com.

“When he left me I was devastated,” she wrote. “When I say devastated, I mean I could barely speak for months.”

Making matters worse, the “Toxic” songstress, 44, said in the book that she had to deal with being publicly shamed as a cheater herself after Timberlake’s song “Cry Me a River” came out later that year.

“Britney’s love life goes hand-in-hand with the story of her music and her fame,” insists Star’s source. “There’s no getting around that, no matter how many tantrums Justin throws.”

“The bosses at Universal are long-term thinkers and can weather Britney’s latest series of problems,” says the source. “They want to spend millions of dollars to tell her story.”
