Britney Spears was nominated for a JUNO which is Canada’s version of the Grammy Awards. Britney has been nominated for

“International Album of the Year”.

Congrats, B!

“Britney Spear’s seventh album CIRCUS, a follow up to her critically received 2007 barnburner, BLACKOUT, was released December 2, 2008. In Canada, CIRCUS debuted at NO. 1 and spent 41 weeks on the Neilsen Soundscan Top 200 sales chart. The lead single “Womanizer” (produced by the up-and-coming Atlanta production team The Outsyders) created a frenzy amongst Britney fanatics and was fully embraced by radio stations and media alike – underscoring Britney’s reign as one of the Queens of pop. In Canada, “Womanizer” spent four weeks at No. 1 CHR Radio and sold 15,756 tracks on iTunes Canada in its first week, making it the highest digital sales debut in SONY BMG (CANADA) INC. for 2008 (or in history?). Britney Spears is one of the top-selling artists of the last decade, and to date has sold in excess of 67 million albums worldwide. Her releases include: BABY ONE MORE TIME (1999); OOPS!…I DID IT AGAIN (2000); BRITNEY (2001); IN THE ZONE (2003) and BLACKOUT (2007). Beloved by her legions of fans, Britney Spears continues to be one of the most talked about, searched for, and sought after pop stars in the world.”

“After she crashed and burned horribly in 2008, last year saw Britney Spears make a remarkable comeback. Her album, The Circus, continued to top charts everywhere, the spectacular tour to promote it won unanimous rave reviews as it criss-crossed the globe, and best of all, Britney looked happy, healthy… and sane”.

Twit of the Year – Britney Spears

“Some artists ignore it, some use it as a marketing tool, but @BritneySpears got Twitter from the start, posting constant chatty updates and warning fans off tabloid slurs via their “BS Alerts”. The only minor hitch came in January, when some audacious soul hacked her account and posted that a certain intimate part of her anatomy was “four feet wide with razor sharp teeth””.
