Bizaar is the seventh album by Insane Clown Posse. Released on October 31, 2000, Bizaar came out on the same day as the similarly-titled ICP release Bizzar and Twiztid's album Freek Show. On the August 20, 1999 episode of The Howard Stern Show, ICP had clashed with fellow guest Sharon Osbourne, and she had bet Violent J $50,000 that ICP's next album would not sell more than 200,000 copies, and that they would be subsequently dropped from their distributor. Violent J predicted that the group's next album would sell at least 500,000 units.[1] Bizaar and Bizzar combined to sell 400,000 units, which fell short of Violent J's prediction, but exceeded Osbourne's expectations. However, the group was subsequently dropped from Island Records.[2] Both Bizaar and Bizzar received three out of five star ratings in The New Rolling Stone Album Guide, the highest rating that the magazine has ever given to any Insane Clown Posse album.[3]
