Britney Spears is celebrating another milestone in her publishing journey and she’s positively thrilled.
According to a press release from publisher Gallery Books, a division of Simon & Schuster, Spears’ bombshell memoir, The Woman in Me, has sold over two million copies in the United States. The combined sales figures include hardcover, audiobook and ebook formats.
“My book has officially sold over 2 million copies in the US!!! Thank you to all the fans who have supported me and my story. Love you All!!!” Spears says in the statement.
The pop superstar’s long-awaited memoir, which was published in the U.S. on Oct. 24, 2023, broke records within its first week of sales, selling over 1 million copies. In the bombshell book, the “Toxic” singer gets honest about her life as a ground-breaking performer, from her days as a Mouseketeer on the Mickey Mouse Club to her success as a teenage pop sensation and its impact on her life.
Spears also speaks out on some of the difficulties she faced, including the 13-year conservatorship placed upon her in 2008, which was terminated in November 2021. Spears’ father Jamie, along with a lawyer, controlled Spears’ finances and personal assets through the conservatorship.

“It is finally time for me to raise my voice and speak out, and my fans deserve to hear it directly from me,” Spears told PEOPLE of the memoir via email for our cover story. “No more conspiracy, no more lies — just me owning my past, present and future.”
