____________________________________
Other (unreleased collaborations, albums etc.)
Estimated 10 unreleased
Based on comments by producers and the amount of songs Britney usually records for and between albums, there is an estimated amount of 114 songs/demos that Britney has recorded but remain completely unreleased. The reasons for certain songs not being released is possibly that her record label feels that the unreleased songs stray too far from the style of dance/pop she's known for-for example, "Luv The Hurt Away" is heavily R&B, "Guilty" is very techno/trance, and "Just Yesterday" is an acoustic song - all of these songs stray from mainstream dance/pop and sound like nothing on any of her albums. Her label seems to try to have her work with producers that will create something innovative and different for her, but they only release material that will limit her to a certain style of music without letting her experiment too much on her albums, possibly fearing that what she releases might not be mainstream or radio-friendly enough to become hits.

Everybody is really questioning her. Does she have the mental stability to do it again? One of my favourite lyrics in the song is "doubt me, I want you to. I want you to think I’m drowning in myself, but baby know after what I’ve been through, lessons learned, stories told, I know that nothing is impossible."

Unreleased Albums
Original Doll album
In late December 2004, Britney appeared on a radio station to premiere a demo of a new song titled "Mona Lisa." She gave an interview there, saying she was halfway done recording her next album "The Original Doll" and it would be released very soon. Her record label released a statement saying that Britney was in the "early stages" of recording a new album. They apparently were furious that she played unreleased material on the radio, and the album went unreleased. It's speculated that the album had a very electro-pop feel, but Britney decided not to release it when she became pregnant with her first child. It's also thought that Jive wanted to scrap the entire project and have Britney record a new album.
Unreleased Christmas Album
Posted on Billboard.com in December 2005 (Bill Pollard's blog): "A few buddies and I ran across a promo that Jive Records hopes to become a record. Britney Spears, a few years back, recorded a few rough tracks, which were to become a Christmas album of some sorts. Who knows what happened. But the few tracks on the demo that I heard were promising. Word to Jive Records: "We need new Britney music, if not for sales, for the fans!"

I Did It Again' , 'Toxic' , 'I'm A Slave For U' and 'My Prerogative' , picture sleeve plus obi-strip, more details to follow." It was originally scheduled for release on May 25, 2005.
