Yeah I thought so too. Teen pop was still huge in 2000, but for some reason it didn't feel as big as 1999.

1999. I remember how crazy it was in '99 compared to '00.

I'd say teen-pop was equally as popular in 1999 as it was in 2000.

Yeah, how would you measure which year teen pop was bigger? Much less any genre? It's was huge in 2000 also!

Nsync's No strings attached sold like 10 million+. And Britney's Oops I did it again sold like a total of 9 million+ in 2000.

Couldn't really tell.  All I was doing is waiting on a website to when Britney Spears would turn 18 in Dec of '99.  Ironically to many, maybe myself lol, that was more of a wait than the Y2K/New Years celebration despite being a few years younger.

Holy crap she was hot between 1998 and 2002 wasn't she? Remember the April 1999 cover of Rollingstone with the teletubby (sorry about spelling) man? She was every man's fantasy between those years. Sometimes I forgot how hot she was.

By 2003 she was too overexposed so I kinda got tired of her.

I say Britney was very popular from 1999-9/11(the WTC tragedy.) She was pretty big in 2007 or 2008 because of her breakdown emotionally with tabloid TV covering her all the time during one of those years. Like it or not, Britney pretty much blew up the popularity of teen-pop when she debut in Christmas time of 1998 and then teen-pop was everywhere for those couple years(1999 and 2000.)

Teen pop is not my thing. It's just that I'm 21 now and remember it was huge between 1997(Spice girls, Hanson, Backstreet Boys) and 2002(When Britney and Christina started 'growing up').

It will always be a part of my childhood memory. It's nice to look back and remember.  ;)

Then by mid-2002 teen pop officially died down. It won't die completely, but that era of teen pop definitely died down.

She was indeed hot.  Between her, Christina Aguilera, and Pink, I'd pick Britney Spears.  I really enjoyed one of her music videos when she dressed as a school-girl.  Never really cared for her music though.

Yeah, she was very "innocent" in her music videos.  It is a shame though, because it went downhill when Justin Timberlake took her viginity away and then years afterwards fell into the abyss(being seen as a bad parent, gaining a lot of weight, smoking, getting knocked up by Federine, shaving her head, etc...)    Also, I think Fred Durst got into her pants too.

I like a few teen-pop songs from then like 98 Degrees and N'Sync but I was sad the grunge trend from Seatte, and San Diego left the music scene and was completely replaced by such bubblegum music like teen-pop. I don't know 98 Degrees and N' Sync weren't too far apart from 90's A/C R&B like Usher, or Montell Jordan that I liked at the time but when Britney debut teen-pop's popularity kinda went into overkill for me.

Hmm... I agree. There's something about the teen pop of 1999+ that was so sweet and over-saturated that it could make me have cavities. Actually the over-saturation in teen pop in 1999 is what led me to not listen to mainstream music anymore.

Even though the 80's used synthesizers there was something about it that didn't bother me.
