This Is What They're Resorting To

img00282.jpg

Britney's new album, Blackout, is doing so poorly that in Canada they are doing a promotion where people who buy the CD can see a movie for free.

Awwww. How sad.

      Actually it has nothing to do with poor sales.. Britt Sucks no doubt, but the free movie is a HMV store promotion on all of their CDS!!!

      No matter how many times you dumbass Britfans say that she is still it, you need to look at the real charts in a country that has the largest music market, America bitches, you'll see that her single "Gimme Shit" and her Flopout album has slid waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay down the charts! www.billboard.com! The girl is done and her video doesn't come out until January? Flopout will definitely be forgotten about, it already is. Keep it real losers!

      A lot of titles distributed in Canada by Sony/BMG have those stickers on them, and it's a promotion they've done many times before, usually in time for prime Christmas shopping. Not that I'm defending Britney, just stating a fact for those who think this has never been done before.

      Yeah, it's done all the time here…..poor CD sales cus it's all free on the net….gotta sell them somehow.

      314

      Got news for you idiot. All albums suck when it comes to sales. They just don't sell anymore. That's why they all have to bribe people to purchase them.

      319

      The only people buying Shitney's crappy cd are the dimwits that things she is a good mother, is a thin person and knows how to sing. Three things she is NOT! She is a horrible mother, she is a fat disgusting cow and cannot sing or dance anymore. Pathetic white trailer park trash who is a loser in every aspect of her sad pathetic miserable obese life. The sad part is watching her 400,000 dimwit fans try and make her into something she is not. 400,00 losers supporting a drugged out, alcoholic whores' sad lifestyle. Her fans are bigger ibciels than she is! ROTFLMAO!

      They actually put those movie coupons on most new cd's, not just britney.

      323

      I agree that Britney is as pathetic as ever - but in Canada the movie ticket promotion is one that Sony/BMG has done before - in 2003 (i think) it was for a bunch of different artists, Pink Christina Aaron Carter (maybe even Britney's back then - can't remember) - worked in a record store then - the stickers were different - more hologramy, but the same promotion nonetheless, and i don't think related to her paltry sales…although i'm sure it can't hurt!

    24. Perez is WRONG says – reply to this


      324

      Re: Em – I agree:) like perez you have to get over your life and stop hating on britney if the album was really shit it would sell 0 copies. and k… Blackout is number one in canada i live in canada that thing is on every fucking CD so If you may Mr. Perez Hilton remove this story or edit what you said and apologize and maybe pay us a visit in canada:D and check it out for urself. have a nice day:)

    25. Jess says – reply to this


      325

      They do that all the time in Canada.Some of the biggest acts like Justin and Christina have had those stuck on the front of their CDs.
      I would know, I'm a Canadian lolz
      Once "Piece of Me" is released it will give the album a boost :)

      326

      too bad britney has some very serious issues right now, because her album is absolutely excellent. Not one bad song to be found. If she was on top of her game she would be unstoppable right now and competing with Alicia Keys in album sales. Wow she is blowing it big time. but Britney can still pull it off. But PLEASE HURRY ALREADY!!!!

      sorry guys but that's not the real reason… they did that to a lot of great cds. like madonna, christina aguilera…. :P

      331

      Um, they put promotions like that on alot of stuff here in Canada, it has nothing to do with her low sales. Your just trying to make up something else to bash Britney about, don't try to make a story out of nothing.

    32. Dfgfg says – reply to this


      332

      They do that alot here. alicia keys CD as well as other records like celin dion have the sticker to i think its a christmas promotion!

      335

      It's sad people aren't giving this album a chance. These are some of the best dance songs of her career. I'm not sure I'd say this album totally bombed though since the downloads of her singles seem to be doing quite well. Now Jennifer Lopez's latest CD is definitely a flop in comparison. Britney's album has sold well compared to that failure.

    36. Britaloonies suck says – reply to this


      336

      Do Canadians read before they post on here? How many fucking times do you have to write that Canda does the movie tix cross-promotion before you realize 100 others have already said it. Jesus Christ! Oh and Britney sucks and so does "Flopout". Even with a new video it won't help. People are just tired of her and realize her singing voice sounds like when she's sucking her Daddy's dick.

      I just wanna say that I don't like or respect Britney Spears, she is a nutcase. But I bought the CD out of curiosity, and it turned out to be like the best cd I've ever bought! it's so good, like every song on the cd is a hit, I'm not even joking. I showed all my friends and they all are crazy about it. we listen to it everytime we go out. GO BUY THIS CD!! it kicks serious @$$!!

      Re: Realsingersrock

      The most recent update is 930,000. All you need to do is research it a bit, the sales stats are out there.

      I'm not a Brit fan, but I don't like Perez's bullshit stories, it shows a lack of interest in his audience and how lazy he is.

      Also, this is quite a common tool used in Canada to market albums, even with higher selling artists.

      However, believe what you want to believe, because all you Pereztards pull stories from your ass.

      Re: Fairgame

      It's quite clearly not forgotten about because people like you, who apparently hate it and her, are still talking about it.

      Also, correction sweetcheeks, the European music market is equally as large as the American, if not larger and the Asian market also gives it a run for it's money.

      The album has topped most of those charts and Gimme More is still riding high. You just need to go clubbing anywhere around Europe and you'll hear the song. So don't be ignorant.

      356

      First of all, her CD was no 1 in CANADA for your information and for those ignorant people that did not hear that. If that was the reason why then the Blackout CD would have never make it to the number 1 spot.

      ho the hell is christina……… P-lease…. Brintey's album really is gr8…. i mean today on her bday she recieved a great review:
      There has been allot of great albums this year but Blackout has to be the suprisingly good album of 2007. Her album is both sexy and a vital album. It is innovative and blurs the boundaries between synth-pop, R&B, electro and hip-hop with edgy beats and great lyrics. The album is such a great guilty pleasure from start to finish.
      BUY IT…. her personal life has nothing to do with her career which is booming!!!!!!!! i wana dance with that album
