  • After recording and sending a demo tape with an unused song from Toni Braxton, Spears signed a multi-album deal with Jive. I really think that this sentence is not needed here.

  • The song was certified Platinum by the Australian Recording Industry Association (ARIA), for selling over 70,000 physical units of the single. It was also certified Silver by the Syndicat National de l'Édition Phonographique (SNEP) in France, and Gold by the Recording Industry Association of New Zealand (RIANZ). I really don't like when the certifications are mentioned in the lead. Maybe you can write what positions attained the song in the United Kingdom, Europe and Australasia.

  • An accompanying music video, directed by Nigel Dick, portrays Spears watching her love interest from afar. ---> An accompanying music video, directed by Nigel Dick was shot at Paradise Cove in Malibu, California. It portrays Spears watching her love interest from afar.
  • The singer injured her knee during the rehearsals for the music video, and went on physical therapy for almost a month. Removed it. It's not notable for mentioning it in the lead.

  • About the performance mention in the lead - maybe you can mention that the performance was staple in the past and just say on which tours she performed it. It really is not worth describing the concerts in the lead.

  • "Sometimes" was certified Gold by the Recording Industry Association of New Zealand (RIANZ), for selling over 7,500 physical units of the single.[23] It was later certified Platinum by the Australian Recording Industry Association (ARIA), for selling over 70,000 units,[24] and Silver by the Syndicat National de l'Édition Phonographique (SNEP), after selling more than 125,000 units of the single in France.[25] ---> I really think that the certifications should be put respectively in the place when you talking about the peak in the country. Also I think you should mention France and its position and than put the certification. Also selling, selling, selling 3 times. Find more appropriate prose.
