Fresh off winning three top awards at last weekend's MTV Video Music Awards, Britney Spears has confirmed she will release a new album before year's end.

"Circus" is due December 2, 2008 via Jive which is the day of Britney's 27th Birthday. the first single is "Womanizer," produced by the Outsyders. The video that leaked two weeks ago showing Britney and her back up dancers practicing to a brand new track was indeed "Womanizer".

"Womanizer" goes to radio next week on September 22, 2008 and will see a digital release the same day. The video will be shot near the end of September with a premiere sometime in October 2008.

Among the other contributors are Dr. Luke, who wrote and produced the title cut, Danja, Guy Sigsworth, Max Martin, Bloodshy & Avant, J.R. Rotem, Keri Hilson, Sean Garrett, Nate "Danja" Hills, and Rodney "Darkchild" Jerkins have all been confirmed to be working with Spears on "Circus".

Last month, Spears told OK Magazine of the new album, "I think it is more urban," adding that she'd been writing everyday on a piano in her living room.

"Circus" is the follow-up to last year's "Blackout," which has sold 894,000 copies in the United States, according to Nielsen SoundScan.
