Britney Spears Is Really Releasing “Radar” as Her Next Single

I don’t understand this and I kind of hate it. BritneySpears.com today released the cover art for Britney’s latest single, “Radar,” which was originally a part of her Blackout album. I don’t mind the song, but it’s not one of my Britney faves, and there are definitely cooler tracks on Circus, like “Kill the Lights” or “Phonography,” which I don’t even think was part of the US release of the album. Why are they re-releasing “Radar?”

  • Phonography isn’t on her Circus album, is it? I bought it and it wasn’t on there. Hmm..
    Also, I really like Unusual You. That song should be her next single.

  • Phonography is a great song, I got it when I DL’d the album, not sure if it’s on the CD.

    Cheers,

    Derek

  • Phonography is on my copy of Circus. I got the collectors edition though, so I don’t know if that’s why. I like Radar, so I don’t really mind that it will be a single. I don’t listen to the radio anyway. =)~

  • Phonography isn’t on my Circus CD. :o( Unfortunately, Radar is, and that song is very mediocre!

  • Terrible move I think! Wasn`t Radar supposed to be the third single for Blackout? Even though it never ended up being a single it`s already a burnt out song. Bad move, I insist!

  • Hey Beet,

    Well Radar was going to be the last single released on Blackout remember they said she filmed portions of it in London??? After Piece of Me and Break the Ice?? Around the time she was to appear in the Pussy Cat Dolls video; her “cameo” which was “cut”??

    Furthermore, since you even reported it, Member during the PIece of Me video shoot, during the “(Media) Blackout” stage which she did no promotion but flash the kitty??? There was a girl who was going to do the video instead of her and you said even…Her single was called, “Eyes On Me”…now, I wonder… did they RENAME that SONG for BRITNEY’s followup album, as….CIRCUS? Its pretty obvious, that the title of the song was originally, Eyes On Me, and to make it more themed oriented, they changed it to Circus.???? What happened to that poor chick?

    WHATS YOUR OPINION BEET!??!?!?!

  • I downloaded the Circus album and it had Radar, which I thought was weird since it was on my Blackout cd, and it also had Phonography which is a definite favorite. I also love Unusual You! I just adore Brit Brit to pieces :D
    It’s definitely odd that it is being re-released…

  • I love Radar! I am OVERJOYED that its the next single, the Blackout album is so underrated, Im glad its getting attention again.

  • Hey Beet,

    Sorry my point was…wow that is embarrassing, I didnt even get to it… Do you think they used portions of the video, if any they shot in London?

    From several sites last year ( like June/ PCD “When I grow up time”)

    The troubled pop star will co-direct the promo, which will see her attending a British nightclub – says manager Larry Rudolph.
    He told the New York Post, “The theme is her and her girlfriends are going to be looking all around London trying to find a boy who she met in a club. Every time they think they have him, it’s someone else.”
    Rudolph added: “She will be behind the camera as much as possible; she wants to make sure it’s exactly right.”
    ‘Radar’ will be the next (and presumably last) single from last year’s ‘Blackout’ album.

    (possibly y they reused it on this CD, and made it a single? b/c when would she film it? Shes doing tours? )

    p.s. I really do love you and your site! I love a smart educated woman who uses her talents to good use: CELEB NEWS! Thank you.

  • Well, Radar was supposed to be the fourth single for Blackout, but they stopped doing promotion. Also, I think they promised to the productor to release it as a single, for Blackout. I think that’s why radar is on Circus, and is released as a single.
    Therefore, Radar is an awesome track and a hit!
    I can’t wait to see the video, and to dance on it. fans who went to see the Circus tour fell in love over again with Radar :P
    I think it was written in the star that Radar was going to be the next single :P

    • The comments made on this post supporting her, the attendance to her concerts, and her record sales/radio play show otherwise.

  • “radar” supposed have to be a single off “Blackout” but they never really released there’s even an official single cover, with the “blackout style”, a read one with the same type of lyrics that the album, but the truth behind this weird choise of single, is so simple, when britney’s producers bough the song “radar” the contract they do with Bloodshy & Avant (producers of the song), they said really clearly it have to be an OFFICIAL SINGLE! wich means: a music video, radio promotion, physical single, and all of that, so they don’t have another choise than re-released the song, that’s why it is in the “Circus” tracklist and she’s singing it on the tour, i’m a britney fan! but i really hate that song!…
    sorry about my english xD my lenguage is the spanish, but i hope you understand better why radar it’ll be the next and hopelly NOT the last single from the “circus” album

  • Kill the Lights should have been the next single! I do love Radar, but I feel like everybody has already heard it and it won’t be very exciting. Oh well.

  • xD the cover is a RED one with the lyrics! xD BRITNEY SPEARS “Radar” way better than the “new one”

  • They’re releasing “radar” as a single simply because there had to have been a contractual agreement with the producers that the song would make it to “single” status.
    :]
    Love it, hate it, it’s all about money and contracts and gain.

  • Yes they are re-releasing Radar. Although Radar was originally her 4th single from Blackout, she did announce that she was hoping to release it as a single. A winner of a contest also did animation art for another music video (ala BREAK THE ICE) for “KILL THE LIGHTS” i love that song and wish Britney would have done a live version of that song instead. But Radar was in her direction so I’m sure it will be satisfactory. Her Blackout Album and Circus album are the best by far. I feel if her singles are doing so well she should just keep on releasing singles from this album until it doesnt do well anymore. She needs to release a Ballad like Out from Under or Unusual You.
