Glory

Glory (2016) is the ninth studio album by American singer Britney Spears, released on August 26, 2016, through RCA Records.

Glory is mainly rooted in modern dance-pop with prominent R&B and hip hop influences, as it moves away from the overt EDM approach of her previous album. Its production emphasizes lighter, nocturnal textures and places greater focus on Spears' vocals. Lyrically, the album is heavily centered on sexuality, as it frequently addresses the listener directly and depicts intimate scenarios across its tracklist. The songs explore a range of pop styles, including electro-pop, disco, soul, reggae-inspired rhythms, and Latin and Southern influences.

Glory debuted at number three on the US Billboard 200, moving 111,000 album-equivalent units. An increase of the sales was compared to her previous studio album, Britney Jean (2013), which sold 107,000 copies in its first week. The record marks Spears's ninth top five album in the nation. As of May 2020, the album has sold 157,000 copies in the United States. On the Canadian Albums Chart compiled by Billboard, the record debuted at number four with 9,000 consumption units,[114] also marking her ninth top five album in the country.
