The Recording Industry Association of America recently released a tally of the decade's highest Gold and Platinum award achievements. Guess who made the list? I'll give you one shot. Yep. BRITNEY SPEARS! Brit comes in as the female solo artist with the MOST album certifications (23 in total) during 2000-2009. “We’ve seen a decade of major music milestones and extraordinary artist achievements as part of our historic Gold and Platinum program,” says Mitch Bainwol, CEO of RIAA. “The names, songs and albums on our list are the decade’s best.” Sounds like a pretty nice award to add to B's collection of decade-end honors. Check out Britney's G&P album achievements below — note that B's first album, ...Baby One More Time (released Jan. 12, 1999), wasn't included in the tally.
...Baby One More Time: Gold, 14x Multi Platinum
Oops!...I Did It Again: Gold, 10x Multi Platinum
Britney: Gold, 4x Multi Platinum
In The Zone: Gold, 2x Multi Platinum
Greatest Hits: My Prerogative: Gold, Platinum
Circus: Gold, Platinum

Congrats, B! xx♥

In case you're one of the few fans who don't follow B's every move (gasp!), you might want to take a peek at these gorgeous photos that surfaced a couple days ago. Her latest Candie's For Kohl's ad campaign is titled "Through The Lens," and features Brit in a variety of settings and poses as shot by famed photographers Annie Leibovitz, Mark Seliger and Terry Richardson. Check 'em out in our gallery, along with a few behind-the-scenes shots. Personally, my fave is the shot above with the teddy bear. No, not because I dig giant pink stuffed animals... I just think it's so sexy. Love everything about it. Word on the street is that Brit's fave is this shot by Annie. Which is your favorite and why? Oh, and check out a few behind-the-scenes videos from the shoot, including commentary from Brit, after the jump. xx♥
