Blackout is the fifth studio album by American pop singer Britney Spears. It was released on October 27, 2007, in Australia and Ireland, October 29, 2007, in the UK, and October 30, 2007, worldwide. This was her first album with new material since her 2005 EP Chaotic. It marks the first time Spears is the executive producer of one of her albums. The title of the album was chosen because Blackout is a reference to "blocking out negativity and embracing life fully."[1] The songs on the album are thematically focused on sex, love and Spears' relationship with the media.
According to the IFPI, the album was number 32 in terms of units shipped worldwide by the end of 2007.[2] The album won "Album of the Year" at the MTV Europe Music Awards 2008. The album has sold 3.1 million copies worldwide.[3] This was Spears' first, and to date, only album to receive a Parental Advisory.[4][5] The sticker was only displayed on the Ireland and Middle East release of the CD.
