Glory is the ninth studio album by American pop singer Britney Spears, released on August 26, 2016, through RCA Records. After renewing her contract with RCA, Spears began work on the album in 2014. Lacking a deadline for completion, she continued work into 2015 and 2016, which, according to Spears, provided her with the opportunity to create one of her favorite albums in her catalog. Primarily a pop record, it also contains elements of R&B, EDM, and hip hop music.

Glory received positive reviews from music critics, who praised Spears's vocal performance on the album and called it her most involved and engaged record in over a decade. It was also included on year-end lists of best albums by several publications. The album debuted at number three on the US Billboard 200, moving 111,000 album-equivalent units in its first week. It topped the charts in the Czech Republic, Ireland, Italy, and also peaked within the top ten of charts in another 20 countries.
