Britney Earns A 'TRL' #1... One More Time

TRL’s always been known for famous — and favorite — firsts — the first time you saw an artist completely crush Times Square — Backstreet Boys did it, and so did Eminem. The first of Diddy’s 36 (!!!?!?!) appearances, or Jennifer Lopez’s 17 appearances (remember when she was super obviously pregnant?), or Christina Aguilera’s 13. Or the first time you saw Mariah Carey’s midriff, or Mariah pushing an ice cream cart, or both! Michael Phelps’ abs’ first appearance. Tokio Hotel’s first time on TRL.

But, TRL’s most important firsts have always been the videos. And today’s countdown was all about the top 10 biggest videos that made their debut on TRL: Avril’s conflicted “Complicated” video made it to #9 today, while TRL veteran Eminem’s “My Name Is” made it to #4. Justin Timberlake’s “Like I Love You” scored an enviable #3, while Christina Aguilera’s “Genie In a Bottle” resurfaced to earn the now-married mom a respectable #2.

But no one, not no one, has earned more TRL love than show pioneer Britney Spears, whose “Baby One More Time” reached another #1 when it became TRL’s #1 favorite first video (the song also turned 10 today!)

Britney Re-records "Baby One More Time" With Max Martin

It's only appropriate that Britney rehearses in front of a mirror - reflecting back upon her her 10 successful years in the industry. Last Thursday marked the ten year anniversary of "Baby One More Time," Britney's first single released on October 23, 1998. Enjoy the classic, because this time around Britney is trading in her signature pigtails for something a little more... adult.

According to an insider at the International Dance Studio, the dance complex Britney has spent several weeks in rehearsing for her upcoming performances and world tour, Britney is practicing a dance routine for a new version of "Baby One More Time."

The insider reveals exclusively to BreatheHeavy.com that Britney has once again teamed up with pop-music writing mastermind Max Martin ("Baby One More Time," "Oops!.. I Did It Again) for the new track, and has re-recorded her vocals with an urban twist, but still "keeping the same feel to it." The newly amped up "Baby One More Time" song, renamed to "One More Time," is a 10th anniversary mix.

"[The song] is for an upcoming concert performance to promote her new album," says the source. "It is likely that this could be a bonus track on her upcoming CD."

"The track sounds hot," the IDA insider continued. "A lot more mature than the original, and very modern."

"Womanizer," Britney's new single off Circus, marks her second #1 off the Billboard Hot 100, an astounding ten years after "Baby One More Time" was certified in the top spot.

It's "Baby One More Time" one more time, baby.
