BRITNEY SPEARS' comeback album BLACKOUT has been named album of the year by French radio station NRJ.
The ceremony, which took place on Saturday (26Jan08) in Cannes, praised the troubled star's latest effort, which fought off competition from Amy Winehouse, Mika, James Blunt and Rihanna.
The awards also saw Justin Timberlake and Avril Lavigne honoured, landing gongs for best International Male and Female respectively.
R&B star Rihanna, who picked up International Song of the Year for Don't Stop The Music, debuted a new shorter hairstyle at the French ceremony.
