I don’t typically listen to pop music unless it’s mixed in to a Girl Talk track or I’m out and can’t avoid it. It’s not that I don’t like it, but it’s usually not my first choice for driving tunes. However, in the past year or so, I’ve completely embraced Britney Spears as my popular side. If I could invent another personality, Britney would be my Sasha Fierce.

Most of her danceable singles were on my computer from the need for college party mixes and because I don’t live under a rock, but Blackout was the first album I bought. Surprisingly, I loved it. It came out almost a year ago, and I can honestly say that it has not left my car’s 6-disc changer. It’s not always my first choice, but it’s an album that can brighten my day in seconds. Yesterday, for example, I cranked “Ooh Ooh Baby” and belted it out while driving home from work.
So what’s with my title then? Well, for those of you who do live under a rock (or in a Britneyless world)–December 2, less than a week from now, her latest album, Circus, hits stores!
I have already preordered on iTunes to guarantee myself the bonus track.
