Britney Spears is everywhere. It's an undisputable fact proven more and more accurate with every week that passes, and now it seems that the sugar-coated pop tart has officially made the comeback of a lifetime, taking this week to celebrate her 27th birthday in style by releasing her sixth full-length album with new material, performing live on Good Morning America, announcing an upcoming tour to support her newest release Circus, appearing in a tell-all MTV documentary entitled “For the Record” and also gracing the cover of this month's Rolling Stone. With so much media attention and so many events and appearances lately under her belt, America's pop princess appears to have reclaimed her pop star throne, and this news is most certainly the icing on her birthday cake this week.



The pop vixen's new release Circus, which dropped December 2 (Spears' birthday), has been heavily anticipated ever since the album's first single “Womanizer” started gaining airtime on radio stations nationwide, and the release is sure to spark more flames in the upcoming weeks as news of the vivacious singer's tour spreads across the nation. The Pussycat Dolls have been confirmed as Spears' opening act, and the tour is set to take off in March, running through June with scattered performances in the U.K. If you're anxious to get Britney Spears tickets to witness the comeback queen in concert, get tickets from http://www.stubhub.com/britney-spears-tickets and start singing along with Spears' infectious songs.

Britney Spears may be on top of the world now, but her ups and downs have made her stable music industry domination one incredible rollercoaster. Spears, a mainstay on the pop charts ever since her teenage years, has suffered breakdowns and disappointments in her decade-long reign, and America has watched anxiously as the Kentwood, Louisiana native has grown up in the spotlight and blossomed into a full-fledged pop music icon. Spears got her start bopping alongside young talents like Justin Timberlake, Christina Aguilera and JC Chasez in the early ‘90s on the Disney Channel's The New Mickey Mouse Club, and at age 15 the talented artist started auditioning for a recording contract, which she easily scored at Jive Records. Harnessing the growing teen pop music trend and hammering in a not-so-subtle sex appeal that attracted fans by the millions, Britney Spears made her debut on the music scene in late 1998, clad in a scandalous Catholic school girl outfit while singing, “Hit me baby one more time.” The smash single “…Baby One More Time” immediately exploded on the pop scene, thrusting the name Britney Spears to the top of the Billboard charts.

Spears continued dragging the teen pop craze through the ‘90s in the forefront of groups like the Backstreet Boys, *NSYNC, the Spice Girls and Christina Aguilera. The MTV crowd drooled over singles like “Sometimes,” “(You Drive Me) Crazy,” “Lucky” and “Oops!... I Did it Again,” but as the foxy Ms. Spears sprinted into the new millennium trouble seemed to be lurking in every corner. Along with the releases of wildly popular albums like Britney (2001) and In the Zone (2003), Spears' public image rampantly grew more and more scandalous, her sex appeal conquering the innocent school girl picture she slowly failed to maintain. A highly publicized and often raunchy relationship with backup dancer Kevin Federline resulted in two children, a very public divorce and even more public meltdown, but despite long custody battles and negative publicity Spears continued onward with her catchy music, delivering Blackout in 2007. Starting the wave of her reappearance on the music scene, Britney Spears breezed through 2007 with singles “Gimme More” and “Piece of Me,” the latter demonstrating a glimpse into the life of the gossiped-about pop star.

Blackout fueled the fire for Spears' comeback, and the smash single “Womanizer” and successive public appearances and media coverage all built up to the release of Circus, which dropped this week and is the sure-fire key for Britney Spears to continue reigning over the pop music industry for another decade of sugar-coated bliss. Spears' recent announcement of a spring tour has already propelled Circus into the spotlight, and the album is sure to bring positive publicity back to the pop princess this week. Happy birthday, Britney!
