Britney Spears has not been focused on her music career lately. The pop singer has largely stepped away from making new art since her conservatorship came to an end, but that doesn't mean the public isn't still consuming the songs that made her a global phenomenon.

The superstar reaches a special milestone in the U.K. this week with what has turned out to be her most successful album ever—at least in that part of the world. The title's ongoing performance shows just how much the public still loves her, and it proves that her hits are continuing to stand the test of time.

Spears' The Singles Collection is celebrating three full years on the U.K. albums chart. The title has now racked up 156 stays on the list of the most-consumed full-lengths and EPs in the nation, which is one of the largest music markets in the world.

The compilation reaches that milestone as it returns to the tally. The Singles Collection reappears at No. 98 on the competitive albums chart.

In the past, Spears' greatest hits set has managed to climb as high as No. 38. That's actually pretty low for a project that's now spent three years on the chart.

While The Singles Collection had to make its way back to the U.K. albums chart in order to reach that three year milestone, it hasn't been gone for very long. The set was last on this ranking in June of this year, so it only very recently fell away.

The Singles Collection is Spears' first title to make it to 156 weeks on the U.K. ranking. It's one of just two efforts from the pop star to accrue triple-digit frames on the roster. Her debut full-length, ...Baby One More Time, has managed just under two full years—103 weeks—so far.
