More on Blackout
Description from Wikipedia:
Blackout is the fifth studio album by American pop singer Britney Spears, released by Jive Records in October 27, 2007. Spears began working in this album as early as February 2006, exploring into electropop and urban pop and recording with new producers such as Danja. Blackout was her first album after four years with new material since her 2003's "In The Zone" and marks the first time Spears is the executive producer of one of her albums. The album's title refers to "blocking out negativity and embracing life fully". The songs on the album are thematically focused on sex, love and Spears' relationship with the media.
The album received positive reviews from music critics, praising its production and deeming it as Spears' most thrilling album to date. Blackout debuted at number two in the Billboard 200, making Spears' the only female artist to have her first five albums debut at the two top slots of the charts. According to the IFPI, the album was number 32 in terms of units shipped by the end of 2007 and has sold over 3.1 million copies worldwide.
The album's first single, "Gimme More", peaked at number one in the Canadian Hot 100 and became a top five hit in twelve countries. The second single, "Piece of Me", reached number one in Ireland and reached the top twenty in thirteen countries. The final single, "Break the Ice", reached number one in the Billboard Hot Dance Club Play, making all the singles of the album go to the top position of the chart. The album won "Album of the Year" at the MTV Europe Music Awards 2008.
