Bravo! Huge sales for Brit's latest album, Circus. It moved more than 500k copies in its first week. The only female star who sold more albums on its debut week this year is Taylor Swift, with her huge hit album, Fearless.
Circus has already grown on me and there are few great tracks. It's worthy to get the album!

The Unsinkable Britney Spears
A couple of years ago, Britney Spears' career was on the slide. Her life itself was careering out of control. This week, she's back at #1 with Circus, which sold 505,000 copies. It's Spears' biggest sales week in more than five years, since her fourth album, In The Zone, opened with sales of 609,000 in November 2003. This week's tally marks a substantial improvement over Spears' last album, Blackout, which opened at #2 in November 2007 with first-week sales of 290,000.
Spears' revival echoes Mariah Carey's comeback from a similar meltdown. After the failure of her movie Glitter and some erratic public moments in 2001, Carey's days as a superstar seemed numbered. But she came back in 2005 with The Emancipation Of Mimi, which wound up as that year's #1 album.
