Despite Everything Else Going On…

Filed under: Britney Spears

wenn1641834.jpg

Britney may not be interested in helping promote her album, and it seems like she really doesn't need to!

Based on first day sales, Spears' latest album, Blackout, is expected to debut at #1 on the U.S. album charts, industry experts tell PerezHilton.com.

Right now she is projected to sell about 350,000 copies - nowhere near what Carrie Underwood just did in her first week (527,000). But respectable none the less.

      Don't even mention Brit and Carriewhore in the same sentence. Brit brit is a legend while Carrieturd belongs back on the farm poking cows.

      DISGUSTING! BTW it's free to listen to on MSN, so one doesn't have to buy the album to listen to it, i have listened to it and my opinion IS IT SUX and that's why people who have bought the album aren't saying it SUX DUH!

      Too bad she can't get a hold of herself, this album was really an opportunity for her to be great again… The album is actually pretty good - much better than I expected.

      The only reason country artists do so well on the charts is because they are such fucking dumb bumpkins that they don't know how to download shit on the internet. I wouldn't buy too much into that…

      You know this means that she'll be dead in a year. She acts like she does because there are so many morons that buy her crap. She'll now feel even more empowered to drink, smoke, screw, do drugs, ignore her kids, etc. All because she "feels the love." The best thing Brit's fans could have done was ignore this album completely. You guys just signed her death warrant. Vegas should start taking odds on how it'll happen. 9/5 she overdoses in 2008.

      You are a freakin idiot..Carrie Underwood is a country singer..Britney is a pop singer..There is a difference in sales between pop and country..Fuckin moron..Perez you would think you had some type of education beyond primary school. Before you attempt to analyze album sales and what they should be..Try analyzing how long it will take your fat ass to die from high blood pressure..

      Umm…you people keep referring to her doing drugs and stuff. Hmm…she's passed 8 random drug tests…yeah…she's a real dope head. Furthermore as far as you saying she does sing or whatever…did it ever occur to you that she was never Celine Dion in the first place. Oh, and I'd like to see what people thought of you all if you had 100 cameras chasing you everyday. I'm sure there would be some interesting tabloid covers.

      …just let the girl be.

      We need to round up all those who bought one copy of her CD and execute them. Those who bought two copies of her CD should be forced to live for a year inside one of Britney's smelly brown boots.

      226

      I can't listen to her music anymore without thinking about all the nasty things she's done and how ugly she's become. It never ends and there's no point anymore. I used to be a big fan–but I'm done with her. She has no respect for herself, her kids, or her fans. So do your thing, Britney. I've wasted enough time thinking about you and your crappy life.

      All I can do is boycott her CD…boo and walk off the floor if a song of hers is played at a club…and if I hear her on the radio–chage the station. Anyone who supports her should be ashamed. She's a total fraud, and not worth anyone's time or money. I got a copy of the leaked tracks but I'm already done listening to it. I wound up skipping over most of the songs–it's all the same, and when I hear her voice I picture a bunch of producers and backup singers making a hot mess sound bearable. I wouldn't know but Blackout must be like a hit of crack–gets you going for a little then leaves you unsatisfied. There's better stuff out there, and she's not worth my support.

      I'll watch the sinking of the S.S. Britney–but at least I'm not on board anymore. Like I said I used to be a huge fan but…IT'S OVER, BITCH. Peace.

      first off, i bought the new bsb cd cause they can actually sing unlike her. second, WHYYYYYYY?!?!?!?!would you people do this to yourselves. nevertheless, the same way ive loved bsb for the past 10 years ever since their get down days, i guess its the same way you people love britney. third, i think some people are just buying the cd because a) the pictures inside are somewhat of a controversy [priest pic], everyone is curious as to what the songs sound like or what they're about. oh well i listened to the bsb cd 3 times last night in a row every song and today i listened to it more than that. lol, they're great and if they dont become number one i atleast hope they're in the top 5 or 10.

      Re: an american idol winner has blown britney out of the water in sales. hehe.

      Actually, Britney's first album sold 14 million and Carrie's sold 6 million. Britney's second album sold 10 million and Carrie's remains to be seen but she is the one who needs to catch up. And I like Underwood alot but she can't turn a party on.

      249

      EVERYONE, PLEASE READ THIS AND KICK THE BITCH INTO TOUCH!!!:

      BRITNEY SPEARS let a man snort cocaine off her chest during a wild Jacuzzi party, it was claimed last night.

      Guitarist Scott Kohler, 29, said the singer asked him and ten other strangers to her Hollywood mansion — two days after she lost visiting rights to her kids.

      He said the 25-year-old downed vodka, then stripped to her underwear and said: “Let’s get in the Jacuzzi.”

      Kohler said one man offered Britney cocaine and “joked he wanted to do a line off her chest, and she agreed.”

      She “seemed drunk” and took coke herself, he claimed. But she still passed a court-ordered drug test the next day.

      Kohler, who met Britney at LA club Hyde, told US mag In Touch: “She was in a great mood. She didn’t have a care in the world.”

      Re: Dumbasses will buy anything – No, that's just a bad picture of a good friend of mine. To set the matter straight, I don't like modern music at all. I came on here to see my friend's picture. Now, it's funny to me just because she loves Ms. Spears for SOME reason. I'll never know. Don't hate on the "fantard". She merely is a Britney fan in the same way she would have been a Beatles' fan forty years ago. That look says, "I just saw Britney Spears in person!!!!" I still don't get her, Yvonne.

      Of course Perez fails to mention that the 350,000 estimate is from her record company. Brit's first day sales (124,000) squashed Underwood's (49,000). Please Britney, personally apologize to this fat piece of shit so he can get back to making fun of other people.

      271

      but keep in mind a sophomore album usually does good because of the traction from the first. Britney sold over a million in her first week for her second album, this is her fifth studio album! Only artist in pop history to have 5! studio albums all debut at #1 on the hot 100. Lets see where Carries at on her 5th album ;)

      I bought the cd today, and I was actually surprised, I diddnt buy it because I liked her, cause I really diddnt, but I bought it to support her , it seems like theres way too much going on in her life. So I bought it and found it really good, I mean its kinda like her old stuff, and the newspapers are saying it is a new style to hide her lack of talent, yet she sounds the same as always, and I give Britney props, I mean, lately she has had No fans, and she actually put out a new album, thats pretty risky, if it were me I would be scared nobody would buy it, but its getting to number one? Like really people, dont doubt this girl.

      If Britney Spears was a fucking man, no one would even say a damn word about how she acts. Men can go out and party all they want and nobody says a word. Men can sleep with as many people as they want and they're called studs instead of whores. If a man isn't instinctively a great parent, nobody gives a damn… But if a young woman tries to explore her sexuality, have some fun in the clubs, or has trouble fitting into the role of happy wife and mother she's considered a failure. It's a disgusting double standard. People really should leave poor Britney alone. She's not doing anything that Hollywood men haven't been doing for ages. I honestly think she's just having a quarter life crisis and will be back to normal again soon.

      "not nearly as good as carrie underwood"
      *I roll my eyes*
      You are soo bitter that you were wrong about her album. How is it that
      "so many people hate her"
      yet she still sells albums..but wait. Now that I think of it, YOU sell her albums, wad. Why do you think she is so gross anyway? She is a baby with babies and that would be hard with the amount of pressure she is under thanks to people like you. By the way, Nice fake skinny picture but its too late. We allready know you are a fatass.
      She is a hottie fosho
      you?
      floundering..

      "We're looking positively at a Britney #1," said Jessica Letkemann, editor of Billboard.com. "At this point, we're talking about first-day sales, and based on her first-day sales, it's sold 124,000, which is pretty comprehensive, but not completely. The next nearest person behind that is [current chart-topper] Carrie Underwood, and that was 49,000 [in sales for her latest, Carnival Ride], so Britney's first day was more than twice that of her nearest competitor, on that one day. What the chart is telling us, or is indicating, is it looks pretty good for Blackout to be #1 on the Billboard top 200 next week."

      actually she already beat carrie perez!
