Britney Spears took a bit of an, um, "hiatus" from the music business -- yeah, that’s a nice way of putting it. But the break seems to have paid off. Her new single, “Womanizer,” has zoomed up to number one on the Billboard Hot 100. Billboard said the song, the first from a new Spears album due for release in December, jumped from No.96 to No.1 in the past week and returned Spears to the top of the list for the first time since her 1999 debut single "Baby One More Time."The unprecedented leap of "Womanizer" was 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. Circus will be released on December 2, 2008 -- a great way to celebrate Brit’s 27th birthday.
