December 10, 2008 Britney Spears To Come In At #1!

According to Hits Daily Double, Britney Spears’ new album Circus has now sold 504,507 copies making it her 5th #1 album (which is amazing when taking into consideration how early her album leaked on the internet)! Brit Brit is surely back on top selling more albums in her first week than Beyonce and Kayne West did with their recently released albums! Not only that, but tickets for her upcoming Spring tour have been selling like crazy, over 400,000 sold! I will be right there at her concert shaking my bagel buns and singing her lyrics at the top of my lungs! Congrats Britney for once again being the “ringleader”, you deserve it! Thoughts?

  • Wait a min…did Britney outsell Kanye in his first week?? DAMNNNN HOMIE!!! TEAM BRIT!

  • Britney cannot sing for shit! Even though the first week sales for this album are high, what about next week? People place so much emphasis on first week sales but most artists never keep up the momentum and have high/moderate sales the week after.

    And after this album what will Britney do? She can’t keep regurgitating the same old formula otherwise her career will be dead. This album sounds soo much like Blackout, its the same formulaic nonsense. She has no identity as a person and it shows in her music.

    If Barbie could “sing” she would sound exactly like Britney. I just think Brit has a lot of stepping up to do, Im not impressed with her performances or her music. And I wouldnt pay her to attend a concert where she is going to LIP SYnch, its not even good singing when its in the studio!

  • ACTUALLY TAYLOR SWIFT IS THE RING LEADER

  • outsell kanye??? what??? she KILLLLLLED his sales honey. just like i predicted to allllll the haters!! brit-brit is numero UNO and can’t be stopped!!!!!! her album is the best one i’ve heard in years. GOOOOO britney!!!!!!!

  • She did it!!!!! Britney’s ‘Circus’ slammed onto the charts at #1 today in the U.S. according to sales figures on HitsDailyDouble.com. With 504,507 copies sold, ‘Circus’ is wwaaayyy ahead of the competition. Wwwooooo hhhhooooooo.

  • BRITNEY ROOOOOOCKS AS ALWAYS… SHE IS STILL THE BEST

  • She worked hard for it. She didnt just show up, she broke the damn door down. GO BRIT!!!! Proof that ANYBODY with enough willpower and GOD in their lives can make a turnaround.

  • What can I say? The songs on this album are undeniably hot! Cograts, to Brit!

  • I really think she only sold that amount because people feel bad for her. Why didn’t Blackout sell that much?!! But anyway, I like Britney so GOOD FOR HER!!

  • congrats Britney….

  • Britney did her thing on this album! No matter what the haters may say, when your in the business for 10 years and still going strong, you must be doing something right.

    Team Britney all the way!

  • Congrats Brit!

  • Lolz they felt bad for her?? Honey Child the economy is bad aint no1 buying ish because they feel sorry for someone.They did it cause the album is hot.She`s the ringleader and she calls the shots BITCH.Kill Em Britney!

  • I agree with “Vouge”…..My question for “Four eyes” Why are you so Jealous…..Give the girl her props. She come a long way from Her mental Breakdown. Why can’t you have the Decency to acknowledge that?

  • normally i don’t let these comments bother me bcuz it isn’t that deep but @ four eyes:

    1. there’s emphasis on the first week sales of ANYONE’S cd. that’s just the way it is and will always be. why does it bother you they’re talking about her first weeks sales?? so what?? that’s where the emphasis is. they aren’t gonna talk about it in january

    2. what does her lip singing have to do with her cd???? your whole comment was irrelevent but this one was SUPER irrelevent.

    3. the girl has been out for 10 years which is entirely too long to be talking about how something may kill her career. that seriously made no sense

    and the comment about ppl feeling sorry for her, if you paid attention to blackout so much you’d remember she did absolutely NOTHING to promote it which is why it didn’t sell like circus.

    it just sounds like to me that everyone is so used to when she was in a bad place you still wanna stay in that place. i know you’re entitled to your own opinions but the shit you guys are coming with is so lame. if she was fucking up you’d say negative shit but now that she’s getting her shit together you still have negative shit to say….
    lame
    lame
    lame

  • Mannequin is my jam

  • B,
    Have you seen this:

    I think that someone is trying to give you a run for your “Circus” money. You still outdid him though. Go TarHeels!

  • im going to see brit brit in vegas

  • Brit can be much better, but I really think this is a sympathy thing there doing, to BOOST her confidence and Lord knows, she needs it.

    And I’m so happy she woke up and saw that K-Fed is a “Nightmare on Elm Street” Creature/Character.

    You go Brit!

  • Why do u, B Scott, have to emphasize that Britney outsold Beyonce? To me, you are no better than Yung Berg with his dark butts comments. B Scott, you are not white, you are black. For you and other blacks to constantly celebrate and idolize a vocally talentless, can’t dance white woman who is in a higher social class than yourself is appalling to me. The fact that you as a black man would place Britney higher than someone that is worthy of praise like Beyonce because of her awe-inspiring singing and dancing capabilities is beyonce me. Black people need to stop praising and worshipin these white entertainers. These white entertainers do not make music for blacks just like high-end fashion designers don’t make designer items for blacks yet blacks are still the first ones in line to buy their Gucci, prada. It’s the same way with these pseudo celebrities. Britney is not even worthy to be mentioned. I don’t care how much album sales she has has garnered. Untalented people like her and Madonna use their sexuality and European female social position as the “preferred” woman to have a musical career. Yet we have someone who is worthy like Beyonce that can’t see the light of day because all of her fanbase wants to talk about Britney

  • to DD B is multicultural not black and not white. so what if people like britney stop believing that just because someone is black other black ppl must support and cant have their own opinion on them. its ppl like YOU that keep racism alive. MUSIC IS THE INTERNATIONAL LANGUAGE it transcends all backgrounds and walks of life. if u cant comprehend get off this site and go to another that will accept u narrow mindedness

  • WTF DD…LMAO…i am a huge beyonce fan…but what are you saying…ROFL!!! is all i have to say to your comment..ROFL!!!

  • DD STFU. I hate when people bring race into a convo when it isn’t even necessary. This is exactly why racism is still out there because people like you cannot get pass it.

    Both Beyonce & Britney are two super talented people. Those two along with Janet put on concerts better than anybody.

    It is a fact that Britney outsold Beyonce and I’m pretty sure B.Scott brought it up b/c people were doubting that she could do it.

    And for you to compare B.Scott’s factual statement to a dumbass remark made by Yung Turd shows what type of mentality you have.

    Go Brit. I can’t wait to see both her and Bey in concert.

  • to DD
    wtf are you talking about?! u brought color into this and it’s totally irrelevent to anything.
    i agree 100% with Joy. B simply stated a fact and you went off the deep end.
    how lame.
    and i hardly think people are going to spend money, in this economy, on someone because they feel bad. if her record sold then that’s because it’s good and/or ppl really want to hear it. i bought it because i love brit brit….
    maybe that’s just me ;)

  • wOw. It’s a sad situation when you have someone like “DD” making such a crappy and idiotic comment such as that. But you know what people, don’t even give it any attention because someone like that doesn’t deserve the time nor day of our attention. People like that make up a very small percentage of today’s population that is quickly fizzling out. So leave “DD” and all the others with their ignorance and ignore them. Let them talk that nonsense to themselves and lets focus on those of us with conversation of substance and morality. ok..and we’re done, now….on to other news… Ofcourse everyone has always based alot of emphasis on first week sales..that’s what every artist anticipates. And while Britney may have done a huge whooper, which I think stems from the fact that she’s been out of the game a while, whereas Kanyne and Beyonce have been here producing and giving us material constantly, it’s all due to that comeback rush. I think the real numbers that actually matter come from the weeks after the first week because people can come all at once and then just stop and the album could fall…just like the single for instance…number one, then fell. But that’s besides the point, I always choose quality over these numbers..because at the end of the day it’s not the sales, it’s the product for most music goers and Beyonce’s album is remarkable and Britneys..although im not a huge huge fan..is quite good too. It’ll be interesting to follow the charts the coming weeks.
