After a tumultuous year that culminated in her being placed on a psychiatric hold, Britney Spears' remarkable comeback is now complete.
Her sixth studio album, "Circus," led by the hit single, "Womanizer,"
blasted to the top of the charts with 51,000 copies sold, according to figures compiled by Nielsen SoundScan.
It marks her best sales effort since
"Oops!...I Did It Again," which racked up 95,000 copies in May of 2000.
Her two previous studio releases,
2003's "In the Zone" and last year's "Blackout," barely sold a combined 60,000.
Spears also grabbed the top spot south of the border, selling a whopping 505,000 copies of "Circus" in the U.S., Billboard.com reports.

Time to confirm Media Traffic's credibility because so far the album has sold
at least 747,000 copies worldwide (505k in the U.S., 51k in Canada, 46k in Mexico, 70k in the U.K., 25k in France, 20k in Germany and 30k in Japan).
