As everyone in the whole world cannot have failed to notice, Britney Spears has an album out! And it’s called Circus! Yes, we’re observant, thank you. But what you in the U.S. may not know is that British band Take That also have an album out this week — and spookily, it’s called The Circus. (For those uninitiated, Take That were a boy band of the early 1990s who had massive success until founder member Robbie Williams discovered drugs and erratic behavior and left the band. He became a huge solo star but is now better known for spotting UFOs from his home in L.A., whereas TT reformed a couple of years ago and the British people clasped them to our collective bosom once more).
Anyhow, some may have naturally assumed that worldwide icon Britney would still soar to number one with her highly-anticipated comeback album. But it’s not looking likely. Especially when news came out that Take That are outselling her at a massive 14-to-1.
Yep, you can wear all the skimpy ringmaster outfits you like Brit, but there’s no competing with our former teenage crushes over here. Sorry. [Photos: AFP, FilmMagic]
