Due to excessive titillation factor, Britney Spears and the magazine raised the eyebrows of stalwarts of music industry. Several people called it half-jokingly as ‘Child-Pornography’. Many columnists went on to describe it as a marketing gimmick to exploiting the minds of teen boys and girls. It was also mentioned in some of the press reports that pictures such as the ones on this magazine are barely legal and should be banned. Many associations and organizations boycotted the stores selling the magazine and Britney Spears’ ‘Baby One More Time’ album.
Britney Spears created a sort of storm in the entire Music Industry soon after the release of her debut album ‘Baby One More Time” at the age of seventeen. Immediately after her fame as ‘Teen Pop-Super-Star’, Britney Spear appeared on the cover page of magazine ‘Rolling Stone’. At the launch of April 15, 1999, issue of Rolling Stone Britney Spears commented, “It was a fantastic experience! I loved the idea of me holding Tinky Winky and talking on the Phone”.
