Yeah, yeah, so we all know that Circus went GOLD here in the US, but it's also been getting some major love... ooh, um, just about everywhere else, too! It's #1 on both the "Billboard 200" and "European Top 100 Albums" charts, but Brit also got some shiny records in the following countries:
Platinum: Ireland, Canada, UK
Gold: Belguim, Czech Republic, Denmark, France, Switzerland, Australia, New Zealand
Silver: Italy

And in case you're curious how Circus is ranking elsewhere:
#1 Canada, Switzerland, Mexico, Brazil, Japan
#2 Ireland
#3 France, Australia
#4 UK, Belgium
#5 Denmark
#9 Italy, Germany, Austria
#10 Netherlands

If your country isn't next to that nice shiny #1, you best GET TO WORK! But deep down, if you're reading this, I know you've done your part. It's those other schmucks out there who need to get in the game...

BTW, enjoy these videos and messages from fans around the world celebrating Britney's birthday! What did you do for Brit's birthday last week? Er... I won't mention that I was celebrating WITH Britney in NYC. That wouldn't be very nice, would it? OK, OK, I'm sorry — it was only one of the best days of my entire life, that's all.
