In a unique fusion of pop nostalgia and live-streamed electronic music, Twitch is commemorating the 25th anniversary of Britney Spears’ groundbreaking sophomore album, Oops!… I Did It Again, with a 12-hour marathon DJ event. On Friday, May 16, 2025, from 12 PM to 12 AM (EST), a hand-picked lineup of DJs will pay tribute to one of pop culture’s most defining albums—live on their respective Twitch channels.
This genre-blending celebration marks a rare moment where EDM culture and mainstream pop history intersect, offering a dynamic experience for music lovers across the spectrum.
Honoring a Cultural Milestone
Originally released on May 16, 2000, Oops!… I Did It Again solidified Britney Spears’ place as a global phenomenon. The album debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 and went on to become one of the best-selling albums of the 21st century. Its combination of bubblegum pop, dance-ready beats, and bold production was a blueprint for a new generation of pop music.
Now, 25 years later, Twitch and a global community of DJs are celebrating this legacy through music, technology, and fan engagement.
A Full-Day Streaming Experience
The 12-hour tribute will span the pop star’s diverse discography, from her debut-era hits like “…Baby One More Time” to the darker electro-pop influences of albums like Blackout and Femme Fatale. Fans tuning in can expect live remixes, tribute sets, mashups, and unreleased edits crafted especially for the event.
Participating Twitch DJs include PYKA, NyyBeats, NyNy_x, emelea, djkharisma, vlouue, eliciamartin, and others. Each will bring their own signature sound to the mix, blending Britney’s unmistakable vocals with everything from house and techno to future bass and experimental electronica.
Interactive moments will play a key role throughout the stream. Fans can engage via Twitch chat, submit remix requests, and share their favorite Britney memories with a global audience. For those unable to tune in live, highlights and clips will be made available post-stream across social media and participating channels.
Twitch’s Ongoing Support for DJs
This event is more than a tribute—it’s also a showcase of Twitch’s growing support for DJs and live music streaming. Through its DJ Program, Twitch enables DJs to perform using licensed music without fear of copyright strikes, a long-standing hurdle in the streaming world.
The platform has positioned itself as a new home for digital DJing, opening doors for global artists to reach new audiences without compromising their artistic expression. Events like the Oops!… I Did It Again anniversary set a strong precedent for what’s possible when pop legacy and real-time streaming culture collide.
The Deluxe Album Reissue
Coinciding with the streaming event, Sony’s Legacy Recordings and RCA Records have released a 25th Anniversary Deluxe Edition of Oops!… I Did It Again. Available in digital and limited-edition vinyl formats, the deluxe release features the original album plus 10 bonus tracks, including rare remixes like the Adamusic remix of “Stronger” and a high-energy club version of “Oops!… I Did It Again” by Pessto.
A collectible sangria-colored 2LP edition includes a 20-page booklet with never-before-seen photos and behind-the-scenes insights from the album’s original recording sessions. This release provides fans both old and new an immersive look back at the cultural moment Britney created in 2000 and its lasting impact.
Bridging Generations of Music Fans
This Twitch-hosted celebration is not just a nostalgic look back, but a bridge between generations. For older fans, it’s a chance to relive the turn-of-the-century era that defined their youth. For younger audiences, it offers a reimagined introduction to Spears’ discography—filtered through the lens of modern remix culture and electronic music artistry.
