The New York best seller is based on the ‘Criminal’ singer’s romantic life and her fame and contains intricate details about her 13 years of conservatorship. This made Spears join the club of a few authors who sold their memoirs quickly, hitting the one million mark. One of them was Prince Harry’s memoir Spare which even got its name in the Guinness World Record for the fastest selling nonfiction. However, until Spears’ memoir also gets her name into Guinness, she has A-listers competing to get the rights to it.
