Another week, another record-breaking jump to No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100. Britney Spears (http://www.billboard.com/bbcom/about/Britney+Spears) makes a near-maximum 96-1 rise with "Womanizer," returning to the top of the list for the first time since her debut single "...Baby One More Time" hit No. 1 in January 1999.

This is the third time in the past two months that the mark for the biggest jump to No. 1 has been ****tered. On the Hot 100 dated Sept. 6, T.I. soared 71-1 with "Whatever You Like" and last week he sprinted 80-1 with "Live Your Life."

Spears' single is spurred by first-week download sales of 286,000, the biggest opening-week tally by a female artist since Nielsen SoundScan began tracking digital downloads in 2003, besting Mariah Carey's take for "Touch My Body" by just over 200 units.

In between her nearly 10-year gap between No. 1s, Spears has placed four other top 10s on the Hot 100, the last being "Gimme More," the first single from her last set, "Blackout." That song jumped 68-3 last October with first-week download sales of 179,000.

It's Britney *****!!!!!

I'm glad she's getting her act together, but I am still 90% sure her 'break down' was one great big publicity stunt. But the other 10% isn't sure as I can't understand why she'd chose a publicity stunt over being able to have access to her kids.

Either way, loved her pre-break-down music, loved her during-break-down music and I'm loving Womanizer. So rock on Britters I say!
