Blackout is the fifth studio album by American pop singer Britney Spears.[5][6] It is scheduled for release on October 29 2007 in the U.K. and October 30,2007 in the U.S. and Canada. It is her first studio album of new material since In the Zone in 2003.

Album History

Originally slated to be released on November 12, 2007, the release date was moved up to October 30 2007 due to numerous unauthorized online leaks of the songs in an attempt to combat song piracy, as well as the great success of the lead single.

There was confusion as to the album's title prior to an official announcement. Spears' website ran a competition for fans to vote for the album's title, however none of those were used. Several sources, including People Magazine claimed "Pieces Of Me" was the album's title as well as second single. The album was also put up for pre-sale on some online music merchant's sites under the "Pieces of Me" title.

On October 5, 2007, a message was posted on Spears's official website confirming that the title of the album is "Blackout". A spokesperson for Jive Records has said that the title of Britney’s fifth studio album, "Blackout", is about "blacking out negativity and embracing life."

Internet blogger Perez Hilton is being sued by Zomba Label Group for posting at least ten unfinished or complete tracks on his website.[7]

Fans have been upset at the choice of cover and have made an online petition aimed at Jive Records to have it changed.[8]

This will be the first album Spears will not do any promotion for prior to the release. A tour has yet to be officially announced, but new sources now say Spears is seeking dancers for her new video and a comeback tour.[9]

Singles

  • Websites such as X17online.com have claimed the second single from the album will be "Piece of Me" and claim that Spears will be shooting a video for it soon.[11] Millennium Dance Studio owner stated in an interview that Spears is seeking dancers for the second track on her new album. [12]
