Britney Spears is attempting yet another comeback: Reps have confirmed that she is at work on the follow-up to 2007’s Blackout. A statement from Jive Records and Spears’ manager Larry Rudolph says that “Britney Spears is spending her summer in the recording studio, working with a team of top-notch producers and songwriters. We’re very excited about what she’s accomplished so far.” So is Sean Garrett, who happens to be one of those producers. “We’re trying to take her stuff to the next level,” he tells EW.com. “I’m going to come up with something crazy for her.” Spears has sold 83 million albums worldwide in her career, but Blackout only went platinum in the U.S., likely due to declining CD sales and her status as last year’s most permanent tabloid fixture. But Garrett — who’s also worked with Usher, Beyoncé, and Chris Brown — welcomes the challenge. “I like to work on an artist when they count them out…and bring them back.”

Blackout was a pop-music masterwork, unfortunately overlooked my many because of the constant cloud of paparazzi and front-page headlines. If this album is anything like it, I can’t wait.
yeah, Blackout was AWESOME. I hope this rushed album lives up to it. If not, it’s a shame they didn’t just keep going with singles from Blackout like “Toy Soldier”, “Get Naked (I Got A Plan)”, and “Freakshow”.
another vote for Blackout being an awesome album. I almost venture to say it was the best britney album ever.. i like pretty much EVERY song on Blackout as opposed to a few here and there on all her previous albums.
I agree, blackout was a great cd, the best songs from the cd were not released, toy soldier and get naked. It is a shame and I hope someone at Jive records will listen again and release another song, I may be dramatic but what a injustice.
I AGREE BLACKOUT IS AN AWESOME CD GREAT!
THEY SHOULD WORK ON GIVING LEGS TO THIS CD AND BRING IT TO #1!
i thinks she’s over. she can’t even perform live adequately anymore.
Disappear already!!!
While Britney will never be able to regain her pop princess crown unless she can learn to perform live again (75% of her past success can be attributed to her outfits, choreography, and (previously) incredible body), I think she’ll still be able to sell a decent amount of records by doing what she’s been doing since the the “Britney” album: handing over complete creative control of her music to the best dance and hip-hop producers and song-writers in the business and then just showing up in the studio for a few days to breathe heavily in the microphone. I, for one, will be buying her new CD the day it comes out! There’s just something about the drama and theatrics of her story that keeps me and a lot of people who were her early fans committed.
just take your meds ;;;;
please no more trailer thrash this country is
screaming 4 new levels
i hope she can keep up with the real world
i know she s glamorizing trailer trash on the pics with kevin back then so what
i think
she s trying to clean up
and she s talented
i don t care if kevin is trailer thrash she s not
Just can’t wait, I like the idea to come with a new album, fresh, clean, ready to kill the others blonde fake.
Just can’t wait, I just want that she record the song Immune 2 Game produced by Frescha (Heaven On Earth), the song is awesome.
She has to promote this new album overseas, she has to go to a lot of TV program and then tour around thw world.
She has to be thin again, of course.
I’m completely stoked about Britney making a new cd! “Blackout” was the best dance pop album in years. And hey, “only platinum” isn’t bad when you have no manager or publicist and do no interviews to promote your album. She sold as many albums as, say, Rihanna, without even trying. If she can put out another killer album, shimmy her way through a decent performance and sit through an interview or two-the world will be kising her feet again. Hell, the only music award show that didn’t completely tank was the MTV awards-and we all know that was thanks to Britney. In fact, hers is just about the only performance I can remember from the past year or so. Who are we kidding? While there are other talented singers in the world, this whole era of pop is banal and forgettable without Spears. She’s pure entertainment. If she doesn’t make a successful comeback, it’s our loss.
i don t care about anything she can sing ;;;;
please, britney, you cow…go the hell away…. for a long time……………………………….how about back to Lousyana where yer kin folk’l welcum ya back…yeehaw and hit the road…
She could easily stay around for years. She needs to go on tour, but before that she needs to get her performances back on track. She’s the next madonna. We’ll be seeing her for the next decade.
can wait for it i will be the first one to buy
google jessie exclusive
u go gurl fuku donner
i think this is fantastic that she is releasing another album so soon…blackout was brillant and although she could have release more tracks of that which would have done great, im so pleased she is making a new one!!! i wonder when it will be out to buy!!!
Clearly she’s being trying to make an effort recently. I love her, I have since the beginning and I was really disappointed by all her problems. She was at the top and the only way to go was down. Now she’s at the bottom, where’s she going to go now? Back to the top. Good luck Britney. You still have many fans.
OMG i love her new single that just leaked and cant wait for her album. its really cool that shes making a comeback and i think this is gonna be what her fans have been waiting for and to see her open for the vma’s
I can’t wait for the new album.Britney is really trying hard to make a great comback ! Go Britney!!!
how is it possible that britney has sold over 83 million records. i don’t believe it for one second. and now she is nominated for a vma which she will probably snatch from a much more deserving nominee! oh! the dirrty politics of show business.

how about “lurnin” to spell donner you dumb f*ck.
Go britney, shes beautiful and a great artist
Britney is amazing and anyone who puts her down is just jealous. Haha
Britney Spears is amazing and “Blackout” was awesome and it’s going to be hard to get better than that but I’m for sure she will. She will make her comeback. And this isn’t another attempt. “Blackout” was just a setup for the greatest comeback in forever. She can do it and for those who are hating and laughing now, just wait til has the number one album in America again and you’ll see.
I really excited with everything about britney.her songs n her performance really great…i love u britney
Honestly she could have done better than Blackout. Considering her older albums were. im a HUUUUUGE Britney fan. She can do something more Rnb and some really oldschool pop too. that would b hot
