"Radar" appeared on Spears' last album Blackout, and it's inclusion on Circus confused many fans. Rumor has it that the song's producers, Bloodshy & Avant, were promised that the song would be an official single.
Since B was so far into crazy-town that she couldn't even appear in the third video for Blackout ("Break the Ice"), the label made up for the promise by putting the song on her next album. I sure as hell didn't expect them to release it as a single!

It’s really the only song by her I like. I’m glad she’s making this a single. It was good enough to be on two albums and to be a single.
WTF mate?! it was already semi-released in Australia after Break the Ice. it charted, even, in 2007. two years later, what a joke.
ye true, it was sorta released in some territories in 2007, and on itunes some weird remix pack as well.
i went ‘wtf?’ when i saw it on circus, and now my reaction is ‘WTF!!?????’
the only logical explanation is that it was promised to be a single as it’s mentioned in the article. i guess bloody shy & avant told brit’s producers that they either release it as a single or they’d give it some other artist who would sure release it as a single. (rihanna maybe lol. sounds her style)
anyway, very disappointing, but i guess they have to do it if they signed some agreements.
very pity. it will certainly flop as a single.
