I have to agree that her peak was around 2000 and 2001. Also here in Germany everyone remembers her for "Oops... I did it again" and when "Boys", "I'm a slave for U", "I'm not a girl, not yet a woman" and so on were released, she was VERY popular. My whole class went to watch her movie. But when "Toxic" and "In the Zone" were released, she basically was "over" and people weren't interested in her anymore. In Europe and the US "Britney" sold around 7 million copies whereas "In the Zone" sold about 4 million copies. And if you look it up, "Britney" also sold in most other countries also more than "In the Zone". In Japan it was plus minus the same (250k) and if she didn't manage to sell in China and Korea alone around 2.000.000 copies I'm pretty sure for Asia it was the same like in Europe and the US. At least my friends from Indonesis say the think she was most popular around "Britney" was released.
