Unusual You (The 5th Circus single)?

[Lonely2001]

EDIT: SO GUYS WE HAVE CAME TO A CONCLUSSION THAT UNUSUAL YOU HAD NO PHYSICAL COPYES! IT WAS NOT AN OFFICIAL SINGLE! IT WAS A RADIO-ONLY SINGLE IN AUSTRALIA!

So the next quesstionable single is a beautiful ballad from the album Circus: Unusual You! This one is so mystirious, here is some info that I found:
- Allegedly the single was released on the 15th of September 2009 only in Australia and NZ. It's B-side is Shattered Glass.
- I have read a lot of reviews and some of them claim that the physical single is fake, while fiew of them said that they went to a store and bought the CD single.
- Some people say that it was released as a radio single in Australia & NZ, but that all copyes are fake.
- So the main pages that claim that are these Hung Medien pages and all of them have this single as official (myb because they share data). For example here is a German one:

https://hitparade.ch/song/Britney-Spears/Unusual-You-532732

And here is the Australian:

https://australian-charts.com/showitem.asp?interpret=Britney+Spears&titel=Unusual+You&cat=s

A lot of people say that they are pretty accurate (The only false thing I found is All That She Wants & IFSFWY on Britneys songs page but they weren't any released versions of those songs).

I've tryed to find more pages that claim that it's official so I went to Discogs and there are a lot of versions that say that it's unofficial, while this one it doesn't say that:

https://www.discogs.com/Britney-Spears-Unusual-You/release/1936757

Even if it says that it's unofficial, it doesn't need to be true because for TWYTM it also says that it's unofficial and we know that isn't true.

I think that the only people who can help to find out if this physical single is official are the ones from Australia & NZ. Did anyone from there ever saw this release in stores?

So guys here is the supposed booklet:

And here is the front artwork:

I ve always wanted it to be the 5th single but I think these cds are not official, I think it was planned as NRJ radio anouced it but the release was scrapped for 3.

I doubt this is official. The artwork doesnt match with how the australian releases during the Circus era were made. The disc doesnt come with the trademark infos, the "Made in AUS" is not something you can found in the official releases and the bar code is in the US pattern, not the australian.

Thank you so much for your reply! I appreciate it so much. So this is 99% fake? If the physical copy is fake than Unusual You was only a radio single, not an official one. Thank you again! If you have time would you mind if I send you something similar in private message?

Dont worry, i use to be a huge collector back them so I am 100% sure this is fake. I do think it was a radio single but not an official single with physical release to the stores. If it have any promo single, im sure it is none of them. Sure, you can send me a PM.

I LOVE Unusual You. Always have 

 

it’s my favorite Britney song 

[ColdAsFire88]

The B-Army wanted it to be a single and kind of demanded it so I really believe that in some fans minds they made it a single 

I don’t recall anything circulating that it was a radio single or anything.

Well at least we now know that it wasn't an official. Lol

This song is entrancing

[Who Can I Trust]

I’m from Australia and I never heard this playing on the radio nor seeing the CD...

Yeah, physical copyes are fake. But I've read somewhere that it was sent to Australian radio. Myb it flopped.

Unusual you is pop perfection.

The cover itself is fake, it was posted on Coverlandia back in 2009

https://coverlandia.blogspot.com/2008/12/britney-spears-circus-singles-era.html

Now, people back then were definitely claiming to have heard the song in both Australia AND France but as has been pointed out before they were probably minor radio stations that took requests from their listeners

Unusual you is very good but it would turn into Unusual flop on the radios

So that artwork was fake then?? Ddd I'm pretty sure Wikipedia used it at one point but they're using what I believe to be fanmade artwork for It Should Be Easy.

I never saw it as an official single anyways.

Yeah, Unusual You artwork is fanmade. And the ISBE cover on wiki is fanmade too, but it wasn't an official single. It just recieved promotional remix package and the artwork for those remixes is the one that I posted on one of my latest threads. 🙂

Oh I see, lol not sure why Wikipedia is using fanmade artwork then dd

[popprison]

I can't believe they didn't release this song as a single. It's the only (artistically) serious song from the Circus album. Mannequin also. But no...they chose if u seek amy + radar...lol 

[bryannspears]

Deserved to be a single though, or at least performed. It so sad that Unusual You and Blur went neglected at her tours

the top 2 on Circus deserved better

[CenterOfTheRing98]

I really like Unusual You, and I loved the idea of it being a promo/region single...but upon further thinking, maybe Blur would have been a better choice for a promo single? It’s much moodier and is more relatable to the “Britney Comeback” they were forming.
