Top 10 Comeback Albums
As Britney Spears prepares to release her latest attempt to recapture America's love, Circus, TIME looks back at the most notable comeback albums of recent decades.

Crooner Rufus Wainwright paid homage to the gay icon's comeback moment by performing the album in full over several dates in 2006 and 2007.
