Mega sales of her book – not a record

Britney Spears’, 41, tell-all book “The Woman in Me: My Story” has sold almost 1.1 million copies in the USA after just one week. This is reported by “People”, among others. That puts the singer just behind Prince Harry, whose book “Reserve” sold around 1.6 million in the United States earlier this year. He holds a record. Spears previously claimed her book was “the best-selling celebrity memoir in history,” wrote TMZ.

The autobiography “The Woman in Me” was published on October 24, 2023, in which Britney Spears looks back on her life so far. She speaks more openly than ever before and polarizes the whole world with her revelations. Among other things, she revealed her dramatic relationship with Justin Timberlake, 42, and her abortion. The 41-year-old also deals with the Mickey Mouse Club and her alcoholic father in her memoirs.

Over a million people bought the book in the US within the first week – in print, in advance, as an e-book and as an audio book, as Variety reports. Spears had hardly actively promoted her memoirs beforehand. So far she has only said so publicly in an interview with “People” and published a statement on Instagram after criticism that she deliberately wanted to harm those affected with the book.

Prince Harry also criticized in his memoirs

Prince Harry published the autobiography “Spare” in January 2023. With his memoirs he caused a lot of excitement, but also astonishment. This is how he described above all his broken family relationship with his brother Prince William, 41, and his father King Charles III, 74. His stepmother Queen Camilla, 76, and his sister-in-law Princess Kate, 41, also lose weight in it.
