It is the second biggest book of the year with 1.1 million copies sold in the US alone, according to publisher Gallery Books, trailing just behind Prince Harry’s memoir, “Spare,” which sold 1.6 million copies in its first week.

The feat is no small one considering Spears, 41, largely let “The Woman in Me” speak for itself, doing just one promotional interview with People magazine (conducted via email).

Britney and her mother, Lynne Spears, previously co-authored two books in the early 2000s, “Heart to Heart” and “A Mother’s Gift,” the latter of which was a bestseller on the Times’ children’s list.

The Grammy winner released “The Woman in Me” on Oct. 24, nearly two years after the termination of her controversial conservatorship.

In the tell-all, Britney revealed that she had an abortion during her past relationship with Justin Timberlake, described feeling “exploited” by the media and compared her estranged father, Jamie Spears, to a “cult leader” while detailing the restraints of her 13-year conservatorship.

Oscar-nominated actress Michelle Williams narrated the audiobook, as Britney said her story would be too “heart-wrenching and emotional” to record herself. (She did, however, read a brief introduction.)

The news in February 2022 that the “Toxic” singer had signed a $15 million deal with Simon & Schuster to write a memoir.

A publishing insider tells us that three authors ghostwrote the tell-all: Ada Calhoun, Sam Lansky and Luke Dempsey.

The New York Times reported Tuesday that Calhoun helped with the first draft after a series of in-person interviews with Britney, who wrote extensively about her life in notebooks. Lansky then had a second round of conversations with the star over Zoom and by phone before Dempsey completed the manuscript.

Prior to “The Woman in Me” hitting stores, Britney tweeted that it had given her “closure on all things for a better future” and insisted she did not mean “to offend anyone” with its headline-making bombshells.
