Circus is the sixth studio album by American pop singer Britney Spears. Jive Records, in collaboration with Zomba Label Group and Sony Music Entertainment, released it on November 28, 2008. Having moved over 505,000 copies in the United States in its first week, Circus debuted on the Billboard 200 at number one, making it Spears’s fifth number-one album. The feat made Spears the only act in Nielsen SoundScan history to have four albums debut with 500,000 or more copies sold.
The first single, “Womanizer”, became Spears’s first number one single on the Billboard Hot 100 since her debut “…Baby One More Time”, almost 10 years prior. The second single, the title track of the album, “Circus”, debuted at number three on the Hot 100 chart.
Britney Spears is three times a lady when it comes to the new music video for her single, “Womanizer.”
In the video, which made its worldwide premiere on ABC’s 20/20, the pop star shows off her newly buff body and does a little role play – as a wife, a working woman and a sexy waitress.
Britney may have left the psych ward, but on Circus, she proves she’s still a freak. The clubby, adventurous pop on her sixth album – her first since getting committed and losing custody of her kids – would have made a fine follow-up to 2003′s In the Zone. “Toxic” producers Bloodshy & Avant hit pay dirt again with the melodic, glowing “Unusual You.” The Max Martin-produced “If U Seek Amy” (say it fast) is a saucy, swinging standout, and the photographer-taunting stomper “Kill the Lights” recalls the synth crush of 2007′s Blackout.
Britney’s vocals on Blackout sounded phoned in, but on Circus, she put in real studio time, actually singing some slow jams. Frou Frou’s Guy Sigsworth contributes “Out From Under,” Spears’ best ballad since “I’m Not a Girl, Not Yet a Woman.” But there are creepy ones too: Danja’s “Blur” updates 2003′s hungover “Early Mornin’,” as the mom of two sighs, “Where the hell am I?” She does her kids a greater disservice with “My Baby,” the trite ballad dedicated to them. And Mommy shows she has psychodrama to spare on “Mmm Papi,” a go-go romp with daddy issues (“Grab me tight and don’t let go/Mmm Papa, love you”): Is it about the papa who controls her affairs or the paparazzi she had an affair with? The fact that we’re even curious shows Britney hasn’t lost her talent: Her fans still can’t look away.
