The video for the title track (Hit Me) Baby One More Time featured Britney in a Roman Catholic Schoolgirl outfit and was a hit worldwide and made Britney a celebrity overnight. The album with the hits Crazy and Sometimes topped the Billboard charts and sold over 20 million copies. She also won many awards including the 1999 MTV Europe Awards for Best Female Artist, Best Pop Artist and Best Breakthrough Artist. Britney next co-authored a book with her mother called Heart to Heart and did an extensive worldwide tour. In 2000, Britney released her second album Oops!...I Did It Again.
