That's because Britney Spears didn't have a manager that called her that.

Elvis was called the King of Rock n Roll because that's what Colonel Tom Parker called him and promoted him as.And why wouldn't he? Elvis was the hottest act in the world at the time.

It's meant to be a selling point, not a provable fact.
