The Britney Bounce

Britney Spears' long awaited return to the charts is confounding critics who had written off any sort of comeback. After her recent performance at the MTV Video Music awards the ever modest Simon Cowell even offered step in to save her floundering career.

How wrong they were. Gimme More, the star's newest offering has leaped into the Irish charts at number five and is fast becoming one of the most requested singles of the year.

Sean Prichard manager at HMV Grafton Street commented, "The dubious antics of Spears' no doubt distracted people from what she does best. Her earning power is as strong as ever and her status as a bona-fide star untouched. When it comes to the charts Spears' continues to beat off the competition hands down.

"Gimme More is proving to be one of this year's top singles at HMV. Meanwhile the much anticipated album has received glowing reviews across the pond. Reaction has been so strong that plans to release the album have been pushed forward by three weeks by Sony BMG.

"Blackout" features 12 thumping dance tracks crafted by top pop and hip-hop producers including Bloodshy & Avant (who produced Spears' 2004 Grammy-winning hit, "Toxic") and Danja, the beatmaster behind Spears' single "Gimme More."

"Blackout was one of the most underestimated albums of the year; it has the potential to be the most successful."
