BRITNEY SPEARS - BLACKOUT Released October 30th 2007, “Blackout” is regarded as one of the most influential modern pop albums of our generation. Spawning hits such as “Gimme More” & “Piece of Me” to more personal deep cuts such as “Why Should I Be Sad” & gave us the iconic opening line we all quote to this day “It’s Britney Bitch!” The album, albeit overshadowed by Britney’s tumultuous personal life at the time, managed to reach #2 on the Billboard Hot 100 album chart & sold 124,000 copies during its first day. Considered her most genre bending album, it delves into genres such as the dubstep influenced track “Freakshow” to the 1980’s disco influenced track “Heaven on Earth”. Supposedly the album’s title was to symbolise blocking out all the negativity surrounding her life & this would correlate with the album’s lyrical content which mostly refrained from touching on personal subjects and focused more on love, fame, the media, sex & just having a good time! By 2008, the album had sold 3.1 million copies & in 2012, was inducted into the “Rock & Roll Hall of Fame” music library. Recently in 2020, the album reached Rolling Stone’s “500 Greatest Album’s of All Time” list. -- source link
