Britney is not the only US superstar to be overtaken by pop's favourite boy band ' Take That have, in the last 24 hours, also sold more albums than this weeks big release, The Killers, who's third album, Day and Age, is currently at number 2 in the Play.com chart.

This Monday will also see releases from Same Difference, Bob The Builder, Royal Scots Dragon Guards, Barry Manilow, Motown 50th Anniv, Josh Groban, Bratz. Take That's The Circus already has more than double the pre-orders of all of these titles (including Britney's Circus) combined.
