In honor of Britney Spears a.) debuting at #1 on the Billboard album chart with Circus after sales of 504,000+ copies, 2.) debuting at #3 on the Hot 100 Singles chart with the album's title track, and f.) having two back-to-back Top 10 hits off an album for the first time ever, let's watch this old trash from MADtv:Damn, that brings a tear to my eye.
"Circus" gives Britney a total of seven Top 10 hits in the U.S. Incidentally, #3 is where "Gimme More" peaked at last year.
The Killers re-enter the Top 40—albeit at #40—with "Human." It had previously debuted/peaked at #32 earlier in the fall.
Back on the album chart, the Killer's Day & Age falls from #6 to #16, although it fares better than Guns N' Roses' colossal disappointment Chinese Democracy, which drops from #3 to #18.
But enough of this shit. Let's go watch that video again!
