This year’s comeback queen, Britney Spears has hit the top of the charts yet again with her new album, “Circus” with about 505,000 copies sold in the United States making her the only artist to debut four albums at 500,000 or more.Her 2000 album, Oops ! I did it again started out with 1.3million sold,in 2001 her album “Britney” debut with 746,000, and in 2003,”In the Zone” stormed in with 609,000 copies sold.

The late 2-Pac,Jay-Z, 50 Cent, and Garth Brooks were able to do it three times but not four as of yet.With this being her 4th album to debut at number 1,only an elite group of four other female artists have done better. These artists include : Mariah Carey with six albums,Janet jackson also with six,Madonna with seven,and Barbara Streisand with eight. She also recently placed to songs, “Womanizer” and “Circus” in the top 10 of Billboard’s Hot 100 charts simultaneously for the first time in her career.

Only someone like Britney Spears can go through the roller coaster ride she had in 2008 and end it with a top selling album like nothing bad ever happened. I have to admit “Womanizer” and “Circus” are two pretty good songs and it doesn’t surprise me especially with Britney’s level of fame that they are in the top ten. I’m sure her huge fan base were just waiting at the gates for her new album to come out on December 2,2008. The album contains a mere 13 tracks and is a product of “JIVE” recording label.
