Music Monday on Empty Streets: Britney Spears - Circus

Britney is definitely back and is on the roll with her latest album Circus. And leading her new album is a single that has been rocking the charts with the same name. Circus is the sixth studio album by American pop singer Britney Spears. Jive Records, in collaboration with Zomba Label Group and Sony Music Entertainment, released it on November 28, 2008. Having sold over 505,000 copies in the United States in its first week, Circus debuted on the Billboard 200 at number one, making it Spears's fifth number-one album. The feat made Spears the only act in Nielsen SoundScan history to have four albums debut with 500,000 or more copies sold.



The album's first single, "Womanizer", became Spears's first number one single on the Billboard Hot 100 since her debut "...Baby One More Time", almost 10 years prior. The second single, "Circus", debuted at number three on the Hot 100 chart. On January 7, 2009, "If U Seek Amy" was announced as the album's third single via Spears' official website.



Here is her single Circus just for you all to enjoy :)



Here's the lyrics:

There's only two types of people in the world:

The ones that entertain, and the ones that observe

Well baby, I'm a put on a show kind of girl

Don't like the backseat, gotta be first



I'm like the ringleader,

I call the shots (Call the shots)

I'm like a firecracker,

I make it hot



When I put on a show,

I feel the adrenaline moving through my veins,

Spotlight on me and I'm ready to break



I'm like a performer,

The dance floor is my stage

Better be ready,

Hope that you feel the same



All eyes on me in the center of the ring

Just like a circus

When I crack that whip everybody gon' trip

Just like a circus



Don't stand there watching me,

Follow me, show me what you can do

Everybody let go, We can make a dance floor

Just like a circus



There's only two types of guys out there:

Ones that can hang with me, and ones that are scared

So baby, I hope that you came prepared

I run a tight ship, so beware



I'm like the ringleader,

I call the shots (Call the shots)

I'm like a firecracker,

I make it hot



When I put on a show,

I feel the adrenaline moving through my veins,

Spotlight on me and I'm ready to break



I'm like a performer,

The dance floor is my stage

Better be ready,

Hope that you feel the same



All eyes on me in the center of the ring

Just like a circus

When I crack that whip everybody gon' trip

Just like a circus



Don't stand there watching me,

Follow me, show me what you can do

Everybody let go, We can make a dance floor

Just like a circus



Let's go!

(Uh, uh, uh, uh, Uh-huh)

Let me see what you can do

(Uh, uh, uh, uh, Uh-huh)

I'm running this

(Like, like, like, like a circus)

Yeah, like a what?

(Like, like, like, like a circus)



All eyes on me in the center of the ring

Just like a circus

When I crack that whip everybody gon' trip

Just like a circus



Don't stand there watching me,

Follow me, show me what you can do

Everybody let go, We can make a dance floor

Just like a circus



All eyes on me in the center of the ring

Just like a circus

When I crack that whip everybody gon' trip

Just like a circus



Don't stand there watching me,

Follow me, show me what you can do

Everybody let go, We can make a dance floor

Just like a circus
