	Actors - Stronger

"Stronger" is the third single from Pop singer Britney Spears released from the album Oops!... I Did It Again
during the fourth quarter of 2000.

The song was written and prodcued by constant suppliers Max Martin and Rami. In this anthem, Spears sings about overcoming the difficulties of love as she proclaims she is "stronger than yesterday." The single is seen by some as the unofficial sequel to "...Baby One More Time" as Britney declares, "my loneliness ain't killing me no more..."; in the song's prequel, Spears laments, "my loneliness is killing me."

Music video

Directed by Joseph Kahn and shot in Los Angeles, the music video for "Stronger" begins with Spears arriving at a party, only to find that her boyfriend has cheated on her with another woman. Inbetween scenes of the man chasing after her at the gathering to try to get her back, are cuts of Britney dancing with a chair.

The second half of the video finds Spears driving away from the party in a thunderstorm; however, before long, her car stops and she's forced to continue walking on in the rain. Cuts of her dancing with now a cane transformed from the chair are also included. The video ends with Britney walking across a bridge.

"Stronger" became yet another to retire on MTV's TRL.

Awards

The video was later nominated for a MTV Video Music Award in the category of Best Pop Video. She was also nominated on the 2001 Teen Choice Awards for Choice Single.

Chart performance

"Stronger" peaked just outside the top ten of the Billboard Hot 100 at number eleven, after managing to top the Hot 100 Singles Sales for a week; this eventually led the song to achieve a Gold certification. Though the single's sales were very strong, the song's airplay was disproportionally weak; the track failed to even crack the top fifty of the Hot 100 Airplay. The nature of this low airplay (and high sales) performance is very similar to that of a previous Spears single: "From the Bottom of My Broken Heart."

In another similar twist pertaining to the aforementioned single, "Stronger," too, had a relatively weak run at Top 40 radio for a Spears single; while the song made the top twenty of the Mainstream Top 40, it only charted in the lower half of both the Top 40 Tracks and Rhythmic Top 40.

Though "Stronger" continued the pattern of Britney's singles making top ten placement in several European countires, it also only managed to go top twenty in about the same number of European and non-European nations, including Australia.

"Stronger" was released during the christmas rush for number-one, however it failed. The single sold a total of 163,000 copies in the U.K.
