Description
Blackout is the fifth studio album by American singer Britney Spears. It was released on October 25, 2007, by Jive Records, and recorded between 2006 and 2007, while her personal struggles were highly publicized and overshadowed her professional projects. It is primarily a dance-pop and electropop record with Euro disco and dubstep influences, with lyrical themes revolving around love, fame, media scrutiny, sex, and clubbing. Guest vocalists include Keri Hilson, Robyn, Pharrell Williams, and Danja. Spears was executive producer of the album,[3] and worked with producers Danja, Bloodshy & Avant, Sean Garrett, and The Neptunes, among eight others. Blackout was originally scheduled to be released on November 13 in the United States, but was rush-released after being leaked online. The album received mixed to positive reviews from music critics, some of whom described it as Spears's most progressive and consistent album. It debuted at number two on the US Billboard 200 with first-week sales of 290,000 copies. By the end of 2008, Blackout had sold 3.1 million copies worldwide.[4] The singles "Gimme More", "Piece of Me", and "Break the Ice" peaked at number 3, 18, and 43 on the Billboard Hot 100 respectively. Unlike her previous albums, Spears did not heavily promote Blackout; her only televised appearance for Blackout was a universally panned performance of "Gimme More" at the 2007 MTV Video Music Awards. However, many of the songs of Blackout were performed on her tour The Circus Starring Britney Spears in 2009, the Femme Fatale Tour in 2011, Spears's concert residency Britney: Piece of Me in 2013–17, the Britney: Live in Concert in 2017, and the Piece of Me Tour in 2018. Blackout received generally positive reviews at the time of its release. In retrospect, the album has been cited as a career highlight for Spears and it has been praised for its significant impact on the ensuing 2010s decade of pop music, being credited for bringing the electropop and avant-disco genres to mainstream prominence. The album is ranked number 39 on The Guardian's list of the 100 best albums of the 21st century.[5] In 2020, Blackout ranked at number 441 on Rolling Stone's 500 Greatest Albums of All Time.
