Blackout is the fifth studio album by American pop singer Britney Spears. It was released on October 27, 2007, in Australia, October 29, 2007, in the UK, and October 30, 2007, worldwide. At the time, it was considered Britney's comeback album, but underperforming sales later proved otherwise.
This is her first album with new material since her 2003 album In The Zone According to the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry, the album was number 32 in terms of units shipped worldwide by the end of 2007. As of June 2008, there have been 3.1 million digital downloads of the songs and remixes from the album in the United States.
The album won "Album Of The Year" at the MTV Europe Music Awards 2008. The artwork for the album was shot in April 2007.
In February 2006, it was reported that Britney was "in the midst of recording her next album," which could possibly be released later that year. According to the People magazine article, Spears said her new music could "reinvigorate the current pop scene," of which she said was "boring".
In May 2006, it was reported that Jonathan "J.R." Rotem said that Spears had "up-tempo club songs," and "relationship songs," "and everything in between."
In September 2006, Rotem said, "Our goal is to try to one-up it," referring to the hits on the radio at the time. "I can tell you there's some dance stuff; there's some slow, more introspective stuff; some club things," the producer said.
Spears later revealed in a personal message on her official website that she planned to release her new album before the end of 2007.
Britney Spears began working with Nate "Danja" Hills while she was pregnant with her second child. Recording began in Las Vegas and continued at Spears's home in Los Angeles.
In August 2007, it was revealed that "Gimme More" would be released as the album's first single.
