Serendipity 7,821 Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 Today in 2008 Madonna and Britney Spears perform at Dodger Stadium on Nov. 6, 2008 in Los Angeles, California. The singer put a series of personal scandals behind her when she topped the Hot 100 with "Womanizer." AFTER A COUPLE OF TROUBLED years, Britney Spears scored her firstBillboard Hot 100 No. 1 in nearly a decade when her single "Womanizer" topped the chart on Oct. 25, 2008. The electro-pop dance track, which Spears, then 26, described as a "girl anthem," skyrocketed from No. 96 to No. 1 in the span of a week – a record jump at the time – aided by a steamy music video that featured scenes of the singer naked in a sauna. Spears had topped the Hot 100 only once before, with her debut single, "... Baby One More Time," in January 1999, and her comeback helped close a troublesome chapter in her life. Between 2006 and 2008, she had struggled with a number of widely publicized life events, including her failed marriage to Kevin Federline; her headline-making decision to shave her head; a d--g-rehab stint; and a breakdown that resulted in an involuntary psychiatric evaluation and led to her father and lawyer establishing a conservatorship to take control of her life. Spears still managed to release new music, including the 2007 album Blackoutand its lead single, "Gimme More," which was memorably promoted with a show-opening performance on the 2007 MTV Video Music Awards, where a lip-syncing Spears practically sleepwalked through her dance routine. A little more than a year later, a reinvigorated Spears returned to the airwaves on her 27th birthday, Dec. 2, to perform "Womanizer" on Good Morning America, and her career has mostly flourished since then: She has staged two world tours, scored three more Hot 100 No. 1s and, in December 2013, began a Las Vegas residency that is slated to run into 2017. She released her most recent LP, Britney Jean, in 2013, and is currently at work on new music. A version of this article first appeared in the Oct. 31 issue of Billboard magazine.
