Singer Britney Spears has landed a top German media award, which recognizes her comeback after a series of highly-publicized personal problems.

Twenty-six-year-old Spears collected the Bambi statuette for Best International Pop Star, and performed the song "Womanizer" from her new album "Circus," at a gala ceremony hosted by the Hubert Burda Media group on Thursday, Nov. 27.

Each year, the German media company 'Hubert Burda Media', honours celebrities from the world of entertainment, literature, sports and politics with the Bambi awards.

It was both Spears' recent climb back up the pop chart ladder and her scramble out of the hole of personal crisis that impressed the awards jury.

"The pop princess is back on her throne, better than ever before," the prize jury said when announcing its decision.
