Just saw the story that Take That have decided to name their new album "The Circus" which seems to be a bit of a strange choice as Britney has already named her album as "Circus" and both acts are releasing their albums a day apart. Just thought that this similarity is unnecessary.

Anyone agree?

I actually thought Gary was joking when he said it was going to be called The Circus, it's too similar and too close to the release of Britneys Circus i think.

no i agree completely, britney's album is going to be amazing!

i just thought it was a strange choice for take that that was all, after all wouldn't you want to make your album unique from all the others, and a good way to do that would be to have a different name, i would have thought.

Can't see the problem - One will have some nice men in suits on the cover, and one will have britneys minge - Hardly going to confuse the buying public

Can't wait for Britneys though!!! It's going to be great Womanizer Womanizer Woman Womanizer

Maybe in the first week or so yes but ultimately TT will sell more copies I'm sure!

Are you having a laugh? Beautiful World has sold 2.5million in the UK. They'll trounce her first week!!

Don't even think the Britney album will make No.2 as Dido and the Killers will be selling shedloads too.

Take That sell en masse!

Do not underestimate them ever!

Are the albums out the same day?

If so Take That that will hit number 1. Not her.

Take That obviously seeing a PR stunt opportunity.

"Circus" suits Britney more I think.

yeah a circus is all about a show and performance, so i can understand why britney's calling her's Circus because she's a brilliant show-woman...but Take That stand and sing most of the time so i cant understand, from that perspective, why they've given their album the title The Circus. Maybe they'll surprise us

I thought it was because she was a big clown or because like the poor lions and elephants the public come to jeer and deride her.
Or maybe she was growing a beard?

Dido's last album sold far more in this country than Britney's.

I've no doubt that the reason the new album is called 'The Circus' is because that will be the theme of their new tour next year.

I agree. Take That put on a superb live show. They must have amazing stamina to put in all the work that they do.

I don't like either title. At least Britney's is somewhat relevant though considering her life has been like a circus recently.

Take That out for some publicity to gain ground on Britney who's been in the papers daily for months now.

Britneys appearance on X Factor will definetely boost sales in the short term at least.
