"Bizzar" is the sixth album by Insane Clown Posse. Released on October 31,2000, it is the first half of the "Bizzar Bizaar" double album, released the same day as its companion album, "Bizaar". On the August 20, 1999 episode of "The Howard Stern Show", Insane Clown Posse had clashed with fellow guest Sharon Osbourne, and she had bet Violent J $50,000 that the group'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.cite web |url=http://www.rollingstone.com/news/story/5924396/insane_clown_posse_and_sharon_osbourne_battle_on_howard_stern_radio_show |title=Insane Clown Posse and Sharon Osbourne Battle on Howard Stern Radio Show |accessdate=2007-12-26 |last=Fischer |first=Blair R |coauthors= |date=Aug 20, 1999 |work= |publisher=Rolling Stone] "Bizaar" and "Bizzar" combined to sell 400,000 units, which fell short of Violent J's prediction, but exceeded Osbourne's expectations.
