Britney Does Worse Than Expected!
She's gonna be pissed!
Billboard has revised their charts - allowing records sold at only one retailer to appear on their lists - and as a result, the Eagles officially have the #1 album in America this week, according to Billboard and Nielsen Soundscan.
Britney's CD, which otherwise would have been in the top slot, came in at #2.
In other bad news for Spears, her latest, Blackout, only sold 290,000 copies since its release on October 30th. Based on projections, the album was expected to sell 350,000.
Carrie Underwood's latest CD, by contrast, sold 527,000 copies last week, during its debut.
The Eagles' latest disc, a double CD, is their first album of original material in 28 years. And it's available only at Wal-Mart.
About the change in their chart policy, which allowed the veteran rockers to claim the #1 spot, Billboard says, "We know that some retailers will be uncomfortable with this policy, but it was inevitable that Billboard's charts would ultimately widen the parameters of to reflect changes that are unfolding in music distribution. We would have preferred to make this decision earlier, but only became aware within the last 24 hours that Wal-Mart would be willing to share the data for this title with Nielsen SoundScan."
Congrats Eagles!
Sucks to be you, Brit Brit.

To Whom It May Concern,
I would like to express my outright disgust with Billboard's decision to change their policy on counting exclusive albums on the Billboard 200 chart; specifically, the change that resulted in the Eagles taking the #1 spot on this week's Billboard 200 chart. It is one thing to inform the industry, with adequate time, of a major change to the biggest album chart in the United States. However, it is quite another thing to proceed with such a large change in policy AFTER the album sales have already been counted. This seems preconceived, completely biased, and utterly unfair. If you have an active policy and there are record companies basing release dates CONTINGENT ON THE RULES CURRENTLY IN-FORCE, how can you then change those rules AFTER said albums have ALREADY been released? It makes absolutely no sense and it makes a mockery of your system, your rules, and your charts. Subsequently, I would expect rapid distrust among consumers of the Billboard charts from now on as it seems that the company will make any changes it wants, on a whim, without regard to the record companies, artists, and fans that those changes may affect.

britney is such trash
i downloaded brits album its good. pharrell is the best song writter ever
fuck you perez! go sit on a dick!
i fucking hate you you fat ass turd fuck!
Amazing, they sold that many at just ONE STORE, what if they sold from the same places that everyone else does? THEY MIGHT HAVE SOLD 2 MILLION RECORDS!
God perwez u are soo jealous of Brit's vagina,..
spelled copies wrong. get it together
but in all seriousness, shut the fuck up. she's obviously trying to get her life together.
STUPID BITCH hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
sucker!!
Every time Brit does something good, you just turn it around like the caniving, narcissistic douche bag you are. She has the number 2 album in the world. I'd like to see anyone else do that considering everything that has happened to her in the past few years. Not to mention it was released with no press. I'm sure Carrie Underwood gave countless interviews and made numerous apperances throughout the world. Suck on that you fucking idiot.
HAHA FIRST BITCHES
first
ALWAYS FIRST IS BACK BITCHES!!!!!!!
Looks like Britney's "do as I want to do" I'm Britney Bitch attitude and disrespect for her fans, has put a little pinch in her checking account.
Guess this means she'll be wearing those nasty, smelly boots for awhile longer.
Yeah, but look at itunes and amazon.com, and combined all those sales along with billboard…billboard is hatin the fact that if Britney goes to #1 she'll be the only artist to have all her album debut at #1. But b/c she's a trainwreck and billboard is ran by old hicks like the grammy's, they would see the eagles be #1.
PS
my dad bought the eagles, and my dad is internet incompetent….
hahah
this shit sucks!
Britney you are still number 1 in my book!
Isn't funny how billboard decided to change their rules in 24 hours?
whatever you stupid fat fuck perez, you know you fucking bought the album and you KNOW ITS DAMN GOOD! because LADIES AND GENTLEMEN BRITS
album FUCKING ROCKS!
its awsome!
I FUCKING HATE YOU PEREZ!
all i can say is..hahahahahahahahaha!
Go EAGLES!
I can't even read the article. her hair is just heinous.
This is so damn unfair it is not even funny! If this was madonna or beyonce this would have never happened! Don't take this the wrong way perez or billboard but fuck you!
BILLBOARD CAN GO EAT IT LICK SNORT IT FUCK IT! STUPID CUNTS! they just had to change there system the weak britneys album came up! STUPID MOTHA FKS! FK THEM! ASSHOLES! who the fk gives a fk bout the eagles all stupid hicks in the south both their shitty ass album in walmart! FKERS. Blackout is amazing. GO FUCK URSELF BILLBOARD. EVERYONE IS JUST TRYING TO SCREW HER. SHE CAN NEVER CATCH A BREAK! im so pissed she lost her number one streak! FUCKKERSSS
it sucks that everyone hates her…one day it will be better! I Hope for her…we could cause a suicide…what would u all feel like then
Her "act" is gettin stale. Drivin around all day- nothin accomplished- not impressed with her lazy, boring ass.
well it looks like Carrie Underwood got beaten out by the Eagles also. SUCKS to be EVERYONE I GUESS. Brit is a whore but still, number 2 album ain't bad. She's still going to be making millions of dollars off this shit.
how nasty are those hair extensions? she'd look better just leaving them off. she'd still look nasty, but not as much.
hmmm, i fail to see how it sucks to be her, even if it was a number 2 how does that suck? u guys are full of shit
#4, THEY SOLD MORE ALBUMS. EVEN IF THEY DIDN'T CHANGE THE RULES, THE FACT REMAINS THAT THE EAGLES STILL SOLD TWICE AS MANY ALBUMS. ARE YOU AN IDIOT? THEY SOLD TWICE AS MANY ALBUMS. SO JUST BECAUSE SOMEONE SAYS BRITNEY IS #1, DOESN'T MEAN SHE SOLD MORE. AS A MATTER OF FACT, GIVEN ALL THE AVENUES FOR THE SALE OF HER ALBUM, IT'S FUCKING SAD THAT SHE COULDN'T SELL MORE.
Re: Fuck Billboard –
G E T _
A
LIFE
and who the fuck are the eagles?
shouldnt the all be dead by now?
BRIT ROCKS! billboard blows they are obviously out to get britney.
I FUCKING HATE YOU PEREZ!
The album is great, get over it Perez!!!
Perez, this is so ridiculous, she is 2# this is great dont you think? You seem to be a very negative person, you need therapy baby… serius!!
you said on tv that you support britney and want to root for her, so how is this change in billboard.com her fault?? If you don't think it's her fault… then how can you not feel bad? IF you feel bad.. then show it.
Cant you at least show sympathy when she isn't "allegedly" doing something that is wrong in your opinion. And why can you not comment on the positive OK magazine article about her that has been floating around online all day?
If you can believe the bad rumors why can't you believe these answers to questions from one of her best friends, Sam Lufti… the best source America has been given for so long when it comes to Britney.. Why cant you post that she has passed all of her 8 random drug tests.. why why why???
IMO.. u are a HIPPO-crit who posts what he thinks people will hit his site up for… if you arent going to be real then you can atleast state that fact.
Perez! i know you love carrie underwood, because your opinion pretty much reflects a middle aged, middle american housewife, but of course she'll do better than britney! thats because america loves boring COUNTRY. that's why bush won a second term in the whitehouse. brit is still bangin and you KNOW it! her album did amazing, considering she literally ate it, licked it, snorted it and fucked it while someone else made her money!
AS A MATTER OF FACT, GIVEN ALL THE AVENUES FOR THE SALE OF HER ALBUM, IT'S FUCKING SAD THAT THE EAGLES STILL SOLD TWICE AS MUCH AS HER.
No, It doesn't suck to be Britney. It could be because many of the people that are into the Eagles or Carrie Underwood may be older. Britney's fans are younger and more apt to illegally download the cd. I would venture to guess that that is what most people have done!
Maybe this will be the straw that sends her over the edge. please please please Britney YOU SUCK AND SO do your fans (literally ;P )…
I HEART THE EAGLES! AND I LOVE BILLBOARD FOR PLAYING FAIR!
TEAM BILLBOARD!
Perez you ugly ass umpa loompa piece of shit. Why the hell do you take pleasure in hating on this girl so much. Karma is gonna come at you hard and i hope it make your ass cry every night. You piece of shit. Good Job Britney, second place is still great and you came second to a Legendary group so you did great.
Good work Billboard. it should be who ever sells the most cd's gets the top spot. Brit brit is shit!
Britney's album didn't do as well as her previous albums but still having the number 2 album in the country is amazing. With all of the drama she has been going through, the fact that her songs didn't recieve any radio play, and her lack of promotion for the album, its pretty impressive that it sold as many copies as it did. So many artists would kill to have the #2 album in the country!!
good god, whoever put those extensions in her "hair" (if you can call it that…) should be smacked. she should have just let it grow after she shaved her head — she could have rocked a pixie cut like natalie portman for a while. ::sigh:: come back, britney. we miss you.
STUPID BITCH hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhhahaahahahahahahahahahhahhahahahahahaahahahahahahahaSTUPID BITCHhahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhaahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaahahahahahahaahahahahahahahahaahhahahahahaahahahahahahahahahaa
Sooooo… why must we even evaluate music based on archaic systems (like the Billboard chart)? Billboard was relevant years ago. Kinda like the census bureau (there's a lot more beneath the surface! ummm… MILLIONS more!)
Look at Radiohead– nothing is relevant now. The ARTISTS must and will speak for themselves. Carrie WhateverMassMediaUnderworldUnderwood (aka her handlers) can manipulate the media market (and shame on you Perez for falling into it!) but real artists will ultimately make their mark through alternative ways. DON'T LET MARKETERS TELL YOU WHAT TO LISTEN TO.

I always liked the Eagles… and I bet THEY don't park illegally in handicapped parking places, either!
you just write only negative shit about her cuz you are mad cuz YOU ARE GETTING SUED BY BRITNEY AND HER RECORD LABEL YOU FAT FUCK! you make money off of her by writing about her! YOU SHOULD BE THANKING HER, plus i heard that you got dissed by some guy you went on a date with 3 nights ago. FAT LOSER!!!!
….
it sucks to have the #2 album in america and to have sold 290,000 albums?
What world are you living in perez? lol

She's still SUCCESSFUL! Perez I bet you think your responsible for this, DON'T YOU! Well your NOT, Britney's album is a SUCCESS because of you and ALL the FREE Publicity you gave her (and continue to give her)! You are RIDICULOUS and Britney is Thankful for ALL your contributions to her SUCCESS!
Re: mkay you suck –
OH, GET THE F**K OVER IT ALREADY!
this sucks i was really hoping that she would get #1 i went out the day it came out and bought the cd and its actually really good
oh and under 50!!
YAY!! Do you think they changed the policy because Billboard didn't want to be Brit's enablers? The timing just seems …convenient.
Its not right that they did it today she should be #1
Carrie fucking promoted her album to death. She was all over promoting. no wonder carrie sold more! Britney could have easily sold more if she promoted!
Perez, this is so ridiculous, she is 2# this is great dont you think? You seem to be a very negative person, you need therapy baby… serius!!
Perez get over teasing britney she has done nothing to you Lardass
Her hair honestly makes me want to vomit.
I DONT CARE! BRITNEY ROCKS!!! AND THE CHANGE OF RULES ON BILLBOARD ARE SO BAD!!! BRITNEY IS NUMERO #1!!!1
FAT PIG NEEDS TO COMMIT SUICIDE ALREADY!!!! THE WORLD HATES YOU BRIT! PLEASE DIE!
First of all: Britney isn't doing THAT bad, considering how badly she's damaged her image so far. I'm surprised the album's even out (and it's actually pretty good!)
Second: You act like The Eagles selling their album exclusively at Wal-Mart would somehow make their number of sales to date that much more of a bigger deal. Newsflash: Nearly every city in North America has a fucking Wal-Mart. I'm also willing to bet nearly 70% of the population buys their CDs there! BIG FUCKING DEAL!!!

FOR THE LOVE OF GOD WILL SOMEONE IN MALIBU PLEASE KILL THIS PATHETIC WHITE BITCH
Shut up you fucking Bastard!!!! why do you hate her so much???
Try to release an album and i bet no one will buy it!!
She is a nice girl
wow the eagles who are they??
I'm happy, happy , happy!!!
Fuck you #4 and Death to the Britards.
The only reason Nitwitney sold any cds at all is because people were curious about the trainwreck. Those of you who bought the cd were complete suckers. It's absolute synthesized garbage.
FUCK BILLBOARD!!! ITS COMPLETELY WRONG OF THEM TO CHANGE THEIR POLICY AT THE END OF THE WEEK! If they want to change the policy they should have stated that the policy would change and say it when it will take effect IN THE FUTURE NOT THE NIGHT BEFORE SALES COME OUT! Anyways Brit Brit No. 2 is EXTREMELY RESPECTABLE especially for an album with little to NO promotion! I'd like to see Perez sell 290,000 albums in ONE WEEK! You fucking fat pig, the way you pick and choose the stories you post about Brit is wrong! FUCK YOU AND BILLBOARD! NO MATTER WHAT YOU SAY SHE'S STILL NUMBER ONE!!!!
Re: FUCKTHEMMOTHAFUCKAS – If you're going to criticize "stupid hicks in the south" might I remind you that Britney is from LOUISIANA ("We're country, y'all!"). So you criticize Southerners but are upset that one of them didn't get number one? Hmmm…
Oh Perez your so full of it.. The TV stations are reporting her CD #1. Though it would suck to be britney right now but it would suck some BIG one to be you. your greasy gross.
Pato mantecoso !!
I'm so sick of Perez. I use to check this site 10 times a day. Now there is hardly ever anything new posted and when there is it's just a bunch of bullshit that Perez pulls out of his ass. selling 300K in a debut week is something all artists hope to do and spends months on promotions. Fuck off Perez your 15 minutes are ticking to an end thank God.
