Which do you think is the TRUE comeback: Blackout or Circus?

[PolySpears]

I think her actual comeback was Blackout, although it MAY be the M+M's Tour, or for others, Circus. 

 

 

Additional discussion: The Post Photo is from Britney's 2007 birthday, and Idk why but for me, it just seems like it was a little bit depressing and she looked lonely...

Circus wishes with its 5 good songs.

[Wendy Williams]

Riccus? It was forced "comeback" 

Blackout was real comeback, new album after 4 years.

[icybaby]

There were no comebacks cause she never left)

Circus of course. Fake or not, she did come back with a bang.  Blackoutney was a mess, I know some people wanna act like it was her bada.ss era but it definitely wasn’t if you actually followed her back then. 

Btw I saw the Circus tour live and she was very into it. Yeah she wasn’t DWADney but she was definitely into the show. Granted she thought the con was just temporary, but it’s not like it was such a bad era.

it has yet to happen.

Everyone saying Blackout is only saying that because it’s theirs and her favorite album. However Circus is the true comeback. A comeback with a #1 album debut, #1 single, high selling tour, awards, and the classic Britney look. It was a commercial success 

[Peter Pan]

Music wise it was Blackout. There was a huge gap between ITZ & Blackout

Career wise it was Circus (As fake as it was, it was still a comeback)

Blackout of course, Britney herself said in her book that she had just come out with the best album of her career (Blackout) and her father/team sold Circus era as her “comeback” and that was not the case.

Musically: Blackout 

Professionally: Circus 

   simple.

[CorySpears]

Hmmm 🤔 

blackout was the sophomore album of an Artist 

Circus was a comeback of a pop star manufactured .. 

 

of the two blackout wins for artistry 

[The Femme Fatale]

It was Blackout, sorry not sorry. She hadn’t put an album out in 4 years and it’s gotten more important accolades than Circus like being inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame archives for being one of the most influential albums of all time. It’s still influential to this day.

Yeah Circus had two top 5 hits, but Blackout has gotten better recognition within the music industry. It’s highly respected and rightfully so. Nobody is out there being inspired by Circus lbr.

So true but to me she  looked like a wax figure during the circus era  I mean something was off about here I didn’t like it 

[femmef4toole]

I don’t really like it, when they say.. the comeback 

I’ve been here the whole time, y’know…

I’ve taken some time out for myself and y’know, I’ve been recording for a while 

I haven’t been completely in the spotlight but like I’ve been doing what I’ve always done..

LES GO 

(but I voted for Blackout all quotes aside)

Within the first 10 years of her career, she made 6 albums, released 1 remix album with new tracks, 2 Greatest Hits albums with new hits, 1 EP with her reality show... so basically, there was no comeback. She never left! 

But Blackout is the better album of the two if that's what you're asking. More critical claim at the time of its release and over 15 years later. 

[Blackout2006]

What is this revision with majority votes being for Blackout? I'm a huge Blackout stan, but Circus was the era that put Britney back on the map. Unfortunately, Blackout was released at the most heated point of media scrutiny and ended up being shoved at the back; instead of triumphing over the media mess and re-establishing her as an artist. Circus did this job by earning her first top billboard in nearly 10 years and her fifth album to cross 500,000 sales in its first week, a feat not accomplished by 98% of artists. Most importantly, it kept her name musically relevant in the late 2000s and prevented her from being seen as a ''90s/noughties' relic at a time when people were terming her career as dead. Say what you want, but this era is the reason y'all can boast of the various records and hits that she bagged past her prime era. Especially when a hater tries to pass her off as an early 00s fad.

I’m not sure if it’s even fair to compare these two albums, but I would have to say from an artistic standpoint it would be Blackout. The album was experimental and she was pushing boundaries in a different way than before compared to her previous albums. 

[PolySpears]

For me, Blackout announced her return and influenced pop, and so it's a comeback. But commercially, Circus did better and even got a tour and a load of promo. I can't choose tbh
