I completely understand where you are coming from, I feel like six new tracks is pretty much half of a new album anyway. It kind of seems like they want a new album but want to cash in on her past two discs as well.

A second greatest hits compilation would be a bit premature. It would be in line with her contract though. She signed a recording contract for three albums with Jive back in 2005 for $10 million USD dollars (Blackout, Circus and Greatest Hits would fulfill the contract) if it's true then that would mean that Jive would need to release a Greatest Hits to lay claim to the songs she released these past two era's. makes me go hmmm...are there any hints that some other company (live nation anyone??) is wooing her behind closed doors? maybe that's why she wants to fulfill her contract with jive as fast as possible. to be eligibible for a shakira - or madonna-like deal she's gotta put that third album out. just thinking out loud here.

Well, if they do indeed release this second greatest hits this year (which is silly) at least we'll be getting brand new material along with it. I'm hoping for quality songs (Gimme More/Piece Of Me/Womanizer etc) with this project and not six filler tracks.

Well the people she has enlisted so far have been Max Martin and the writers who created Kelly Rowland's "When Love Takes Over". Max Martin will bring it like he always does and I guess it's good that Britney will be working with new writers. Who knows. But I would rather her keep AEG as her concert promoters.

As I said I wouldn't call it a Greatest Hits as such...
6 new songs is pretty much half a album like 'Expression' said above and adding tracks from Blackout & Circus is like a way to bring it all together...
I for one am excited because if there will be 6 new songs who knows we could get 4+ more singles

This site is legit and a reliable source.. They were first to get news on Womanizer Single being delayed, First on the Aussie Tour dates/plans and also were the first site to leak the Circus single cover.. So yeah it's happening.. Whether you believe it or not is up to you or anyone reading but at the end of the day it's going to happen :)

humm, I don't know if I should excited for this or not...It seems to me that they are rushing a release putting 6 tracks with the singles from "Blackout" and "Circus". I'd rather wait another year or so for a new album...but it's new Britney music, so I think I'll give it a try lol ;)

If it's a Blackout/Circus cash-in, Radar's release makes much more sense to me now. Bridging the gap between the two albums almost?
I don't like this idea much at all, premature doesn't cover it and it seems like they're living in the past a bit, but perhaps Jive aren't prepared to let an album as strong as Blackout have it's final breath with Radar.

Wow Awesome Update!!!
Anyway with the Album thing I don't think it'll be a Greatest Hits as such maybe that's just the working name they are going with as of now. I'm thinking that it's like combining both albums to sort of bring everything together and cut the crap. Sort of make the album that was supposed to be made

I'm thinking that it's like combining both albums to sort of bring everything together and cut the crap. Sort of make the album that was supposed to be made That's exactly what I believe too. They just want to make Blackout and Circus look like one album in a way. That's why the tour is 70% filled with Blackout tracks and we got Radar as a single in 2009. If the GH thing is true, I guess it'll be treated like a new album and we'll get some more singles out of it. Still a silly idea if you ask me. Leave Blackout in the past. If they want it to be revived they better record a new album and name it Blackout 2 or something instead of putting Radar in 3 different albums. Or even better, re-release Circus and let the lead single be Toy Soldier featuring Lil' Wayne. That would be HOT!

Damn Shattered, no need to be rude. Sorry if us fans don't like the idea of her releasing a 2nd greatest hits album after only 2 CDs. Doesn't make any sense. Rather them do a new CD then.
Greatest Hits: The Black Circus tracklisting
1. Gimme More 2. Piece Of Me 3. Break The Ice 4. Womanizer 5. Piece Of Me 6. If U Seek Amy 7. Radar 8. Max Martin track 9. Max Martrin track 10. Outsyders track (they produced Wmzr) 11. Timbaland (wishful thinking) 12. Danja track 13. Ballad

at Piece Of Me being on there twice. So I guess "Radar" will be the final single off of "Circus" and then they will release the first single off of the "Greatest Hits" package.

Im intrigued by this project and think its a great move for her. She needs out of that JIVE contract. She needs to move to a label that knows how to run a top 40 artist properly. She needs a label that is capable of producing good cd art too.

New album > Circus re-release >>>>>>> Greatest Hits.
She needs at least two more albums before she can even think about a GH. A new album would be great after the tour is over, but a re-release would be ok, at least it would revive Circus in the charts a bit and we would have some new material.

I hate the idea of a "Circus" re-release. Britney doesn't need tricks like that to get a respectable amount of sales.

Top 300 smash! I honestly can't believe it's even selling that much. I will be totally shocked if this hits the top 40 on iTunes again (for the 180th time). Can you tell me the peak of Radar on iTunes? Because you said it got to the top 40, and I believe you, but I have no clue what its peak was.
