Britney Spears Widening Her Fan Base

Linda Hoffman, national advertising manager for Tower Records, tells Larry Rodgers of The Arizona Republic that Britney Spears has had some success in widening her audience far beyond its preteen base. “I was listening to her last night on that Pepsi commercial,” she said. “And her voice now sounds kind of sultry. She’s gone from being a pop queen to a stylish young adult.”
