Britney Spears’ Latest Come Back

Pop music has never been the same since Britney Spears and the debut of her first studio album “…Baby One More Time” in 1999. Not only did the title track of the album chart as number one on the Billboard Hot 100. The album also achieved the number one position on the Billboard 200 albums for that year.

Since then Britney Jean Spears has been seen to experience a meteoric rise in the world of American pop music. She has collaborated with some of the most famous stars from the American music industry including Madonna, Fred Durst, Justin Timberlake. Christina Aguilera and T.I.

A native of Louisiana, Spears first appeared on television as one of the participants in the show Star Search. After that, she starred in The New Mickey Mouse Club for two years until 1994. However, after signing a deal with Jive Records, there was no turning back for this teen star. She released four studio albums between 1999 until 2003:

In 2004, Britney Spears married back up dancer Kevin Federline after annulling her 55-hour impromptu wedding with her childhood buddy Jason Allan Alexander, at the Little White Wedding Chapel in Vegas. The marriage to Federline lasted for two years after which divorce ensued. Along with the divorce proceedings, Spears landed herself in the middle of a messy public custody battle for her two children (Sean Preston and Jayden James).

Since her marriage to Federalize Spears has been under the media’s attention for all the wrong reasons. First, she was criticized for her impulsive wedding with Jason Alexander. And then her marriage to Federline has been reported on constantly. After it ended in 2004, during the custody battle, Spears was caught behaving very irresponsibly with regard to her children more than once by the paparazzi.

In the meantime, her music career suffered a tumultuous fall from her much-publicized rise to zenith.

Finally, in 2007 Britney came out with her fifth studio album Blackout. The first single “Gimme More” climbed the third position on the Billboard Hot 100 charts. Although the album did not break all records like her first one, it did receive above average ratings from all over.

After her marriage was over with Federline, Spears started acting out in public. She began attending parties regularly, giving rise to rumors of her alcohol addiction. She continued to be seen in shabby outfits, giving ample proof of having weight problems. The final straw came when she suddenly walked into a parlor and shaved off her hair on her own. Things seemed to have reached their limits and Spears was admitted into a rehabilitation center.

In 2008, Britney Spears released her sixth studio album titled “Circus”. Its first single “Womanizer” reached its number one position on the Billboard Hot 100; first time since her first single “…Baby One More Time”.

Spears has finally decided to pick up the pieces of her over-publicized star status by working out regularly to get back in shape and also star in quite a few television sitcoms. Included in the latter are How I Met Your Mother and the British talent contest The X Factor. Both shows recorded staggering TRPs during the episodes showcasing Spears.

Although many of her critics had written her off as a hopeless case, Spears has managed to salvage her position and proved them wrong. At the same time, there have been millions of fans all over the world who have supported Britney Spears through her troubled times. When she came back with her later albums in 2007 (Blackout) and 2008 (Circus), they were proven right in their faith in this superstar.

Spears has an elaborate tour scheduled in 2009. It starts of in New Orleans on March 13, 2009. Other locations included in this tour are Boston, Pittsburgh, Miami, Dallas, Los Angeles, Toronto, Mohegan Sun, Vancouver, Montreal, Las Vegas and finally ends in Chicago on April 28, 2009. She also has plans of touring Paris and London later that year in June.

The tour has been named The Circus Starring: Britney Spears. The Pussycat Dolls will be opening the tour with their performance. This tour is Spears’ sixth tour and her first since the incomplete Onyx Hotel Tour in 2004.

Spears has several titles to her name with the Guinness Book of World Records including the most searched individual on the Internet, beating Obama in 2007! She has also opened the MTV Music Awards three times so far.
