Rolling Stone<\/em> rolled out its list of the 100 Greatest Debut Singles of All Time<\/a> this week, and it was packed with beloved classics like \u201cBlitzkrieg Bop\u201d by the Ramones, \u201cMaybelline\u201d by Chuck Berry, \u201cAnarchy in the U.K.\u201d by the Sex Pistols, and \u201cLove Me Do\u201d by the Beatles. The Jackson 5 had the number two slot with \u201cI Want You Back,\u201d but it was Britney Spears<\/a> who topped the entire thing with her classic \u201c\u2026Baby One More Time.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cOne of those pop manifestos that announces a new sound, a new era, a new century,\u201d wrote Rob Sheffield. \u201cBut most of all, a new star. Planet Earth, meet Britney Jean Spears, the 17-year-old pride of Kentwood, Louisiana. \u2026 With \u2018\u2026Baby One More Time,\u2019 this girl changed the sound of pop forever: It\u2019s Britney, bitch. Nothing was ever the same.\u201d<\/p>\n

The song came out October 23rd, 1998, and slowly rose up the charts during the next few months. By January 1999, it was doing well enough for Spears to get booked on a number of daytime talk shows, including The Ricki Lake Show<\/em>, The Rosie O\u2019Donnell Show<\/em>, Donny and Marie<\/em> and Live With Regis and Kathie Lee<\/em>. She performed \u201c\u2026Baby One More Time\u201d on all of them.<\/p>\n

The first show to book her, however, was the short-lived Howie Mandel Show.<\/em> Check out the video where Spears sings the song and then sits for an interview with Mandel. Near the end, he hands her a large bouquet of flowers and tells her the song has just gone platinum. \u201cThat\u2019s so wonderful,\u201d she says. \u201cI\u2019m so excited. \u2026 I didn\u2019t expect this.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Howie Mandel Show<\/em> was yanked from the airwaves just three months later, but Spears was merely getting started. As the year went on, she became a constant presence on MTV and her follow-up singles \u201cSometimes\u201d and \u201c(You Drive Me) Crazy\u201d were also enormous hits. She appeared on the first of her many Rolling Stone<\/em> covers<\/a> in April.<\/p>\n

She hasn\u2019t released a new album since 2016\u2019s Glory<\/em> and hasn\u2019t performed live in nearly two years. A recent move by her hardcore fans to bring Glory<\/em> to the top of the iTunes charts was successful and Spears responded by creating a new cover for it. Her future plans are a little unclear at the moment, but she was overjoyed to see her debut single top our list.<\/p>\n

\u201cNumber ONE \ud83d\ude31 ??!!?,\u201d she wrote on Facebook.<\/a> \u201cThank you Rolling Stone \u2026. what an honor \ud83d\udc8b\ud83d\udc8b\ud83d\udc8b.\u201d<\/p>\n
