In 1998, a then 16-year-old Britney hit the scene in her pigtails and now notable school girl outfit -- arguably changing the pop music era and catapulting her to the title of \"Princess of Pop.\"

\"...Baby One More Time\" appeared on the singer's debut album of the same name and the song topped the charts in 19 countries, according to ABC Radio.
