Britney to Release New Album on Her Birthday - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Britney Spears has arranged a wonderful birthday present for herself: her sixth studio album, Circus, due for release Dec. 2 – the day she turns 27, her label announced Monday.

Coming so soon after her triple victory – for video of the year, best female video and best pop video for "Piece of Me" – at MTV's Video Music Awards on Sept. 7, Circus follows up her well-received 2007 album Blackout and continues the upward spiral the sometimes-troubled pop star has been experiencing.

The Outsyders, described by Spears's label, Jive records, as an up-and-coming Atlanta production team, have produced the first single from the album, "Womanizer," which will drop Sept. 22.

Other producers and writers with a hand in the album, according to Jive, include Dr. Luke (writer-producer of the title track, "Circus"), Danja, Max Martin, Bloodshy & Avant and Guy Sigsworth – who's collaborated with such other artists as Madonna, Alanis Morissette and Bjork.

Overtakes Paris's Record
In all, Spears has sold more than 62 million albums internationally, including 1999's Baby One More Time, 2000's Oops! … I Did It Again, 2001' Britney, 2003's In The Zone and the previously mentioned Blackout. Her sales records include eight No. 1 worldwide singles and four consecutive No. 1 albums.

Also on Monday, Guinness World Records revealed another accolade for Spears: she has replaced Paris Hilton as the Most Searched Person on the Internet in 2007.

She hasn't worked with Max Martin since 2000! I'm interested in hearing what their collaboration is going to sound like.

It's like they are helping each other kick start their own comebacks.

Good for her!! I hope she ends up having a great birthday, and that her record sells very well.

Dr. Luke? I hope he doesn't re-use the same riff from Since U Been Gone like he's done with practically every song he's done since SUBG. I'm guessing that since it's Britney, he might have an original idea.

I'm really excited for this though, I can't wait for the single.

I am surprised that she didn't decide to pull a Pink "I'm Not Dead" thing and start promoting Blackout now that she's in a better place in her life. Blackout flopped because people were turned off to her image at the time, not because people thought it was a weak album. You'd think she would've decided to take control over the album and give it a resurgence like Pink's album saw last year long after it'd been pronounced a failure.
