It was 20 years ago that a young teen pop star took the world by storm with a lead single from her debut album. On October 23, 1998, a 16-year-old dancer and singer from Louisiana named Britney Spears released '...Baby One More Time' as a debut single by Jive Records.

The pop song, that refers to a girl's feelings after a break-up with her boyfriend, would go on to sell 500,000 copies on its first day, peak at number one on the Billboard Hot 100 and top the chart for two consecutive weeks. Earlier known as 'Hit Me Baby One More Time', the hit track would go on to become one of the best-selling singles of all time.
