A Deadly Game Of Russian Roulette????
Introducing….
Oh no!!!!!!!!!!

Here comes Her Madgesty Shitney Madgorilla !!!!!!!!!!!
Perez, you were convincing people to download it illegally and now your HAPPY that she STILL sold AMAZING??
Whatever. Go Brit. I'll be sure to pick up a copy next week
Babygirl is back!
good for brit
It also helps that Kayne's album sucks (hey, nice changing "Kayne West" to "Taylor Swift" even if you did use incorrect English)
That's really good. It's actually a decent album, I've been listening to it on AOL'S music page.
I love britney :]
All pity sales! that was expected, her documentary did well for her
Go Brit! I LOVE YOU. TAKE THAT HATERS!!!!
well i don't know if she will,but she should be number 1 always!!!
thats where she belongs!
britney = living legend!
I would so go down on Britney that skank
it's britney bitch.
good JOB BRITNEY!! love her!
and taylor swit of beyonce haha nice
Sadly, I may even buy this shit. I kind of like that Circus song.
Not a fan, but glad she has begun to turn it around…and I'm glad she out sold BeYAWNce and Whyn-ye they both are very over rated in my opinion!
Fuck yeah go girl!
GOOD FOR HER!!!!!!!!!!!! AND WHAT A COMEBACK SHE IS!!!!!!!!!!!!!
YOU GO SWEETIE PIE!! I KNEW I'D GET MY CUTE BRITNEY BACK.
thats my girl!!! I love you Brit. Haters go away.
HELL YEAH!!
Princess of pop, now queen of pop has arrived.
welcome back my girl.
great album
are you in love with this mess?
Come on Perez, change the name. I can hear it now Perez Spears. You KNOW her ass can outsell Paris anyday! People lurve Brit Brit, even when she fucks up.
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! MOVIMIENTO BRITNEY!!!!! THATS MY GIRL!
I sooo expected this,despite it being leaked anyway. I mean this is the kind of stuff that sells to the masses (obviously as you can see),sure its probably computerized or w\e but it still SOLD,cos it was CATCHY.That's what works,plus with all the drama with her,new people were definitely going to become interested her, haters,fans,newbies, everyone's energy was focused on her,so she got more hits. Everyone,myself included,craves drama,i mean who the fuck wants "happy family" boooooringg
five and six, grab your crucifix
yay go britney! nice to see shes back to her normal self!
COME ON PEREZ DO YOU LOOK OVER ANYTHING U TYPE…
WRONG PEREZ, She sold more than Kanye but Taylor Swift holds the record. She oviously didn't bet her and She didn't do better than beyonce.
They are still estimating the sales which means that is not the final number. It comes out tomorrow!!! Don't jump the ass kissing gun too quick perez..you still have one more day!
Yays.
Ii love her. and i only wish the best for her.
go britney!
hope it boosts her confidence!
yay britney :]
It's britney bitch! HATERS To the left to the left………………… piss off elsewhere.
Aww, I'm so happy for Britney!! It wasn't sympathy sales either….if that was the case, Blackout would have gone platinum it's first week!! I love her
I love it, for some reason it was on sale here in Mexico since the first day of december and i got it as soon as i saw it and i'm still loving it, go Brit!
Uh yeah, I believe that 300k were bought with her own money! I just dont see folks enthusiastic about Brit like they were in the old days. Sorry
WHITE POWER
i dont know why, but i used to like Brtiney.
but now that i have matured, i realize that most of her song have no meaning.
i think she is a great performer though, i watched her shows, they are very nice.
but maybe its thanks to her producers that the shows are interesting?
i dunno
but seriously
she sings about "womannizer" and what is "circus"? just something to shake ur bootey too?
i dont get it why ppl love it.
trance and house music is so much deeper, the lyrics have sould in them!
ugh, whatever, it will never change, ppl wont stop obsessing over blond, dumb blonds with songs about "gimme more" and shit like that!
Re: QueenOfTrashin –
That's pretty much exactly how I feel , it kills me to give her money, but I just bought it because I love that Circus song.
K-Fed-Says- now lets see thats 27,000 plus 12,000 (for the new CD) that evens out to 39,000 for this month.
Never underestimate the BUYING power of gay men and stupid teenage girls. Once again, poor taste and media hype prevailed.
BUT, what esle can you expect? The media OVERHYPED and OVERPROMOTED her. Anyway, unless the gay men who bought 4 copies each keep doing that, I am sure the album will disappear from the charts soon enough.
WOW not since MC Hammer has anyone staged a comeback so big !!!
ATTA GIRL!
K-Fed released a new song this week because, apparently, he is STILL using Britney's fame for his own purposes. It's called "Grape Soda." You won't BELIEVE that someone could have recorded such a loser song. That someone could be such a moron. It's painful to listen to- it makes you cringe because it's THAT BAD. Ugh, K-Fed should lose custody based on putting out such a s**tty song, alone. He is offensive to the human race.
Re: Starlighter – What a loser you are.
because its such a good album! britney is SO back!
welcome back britney!!!
Great Job Britters!
Re: Starlighter – ur a dumb fuck
im gay, i dint buy an album
my boyfriend didn't buy an album
none of my gay friends bought this album!!!
u think only stupid teenage girls and gay men buy this crap?
no, its the majority of the America, sadly!
…and Katy Perry is prob slitting her wrists wondering why she couldn't sell 500,000 albums in the first week and Britney can… because as we all know, Katy is the best thing on this earth and deserves 10 Grammys and all of Perez's attention and can do no wrong! *rolls eyes*
omg thats amazing! I love Brit, i haven't gotten a chance to buy her new album yet, but I'm definitely gonna pick up a copy next week.
Re: Roddy ROd – It seems really hypocritical when I hear people talk about "overrated" and overhyped" especially when they support Shit Smears.
NO ONE in the history of entertainment has been more OVERHYPED and OVERPROMOTED than Shit Smears. She CANNOT sing. She ripped off Janet Jackson's dance moves, and Janet did and still does them better. She stole Madonna's performance and media tactics; athough Madonna does it better.
Wghat reason does she have to get all the attention she gets in the media? Last week, I literally felt as if I was under attack by media outlets. Every channel I turned to had something to say about this no-talent woman.
Here is Shitney, someone who is a mentally ill puppet ona string being used by everyone to get ratings or paid. Her songs are written and produced by others–the real talents. Her "talent" is miming.
Don't talk about hype while EXCLUDING the face of hype–Shit Smears.
Great Job Britney, the new album rocks my socks!!!!!!
And so what if she has computer mumbo jumbo on her voice, so does Kanye, T-pain and Lil' Wayne…why don't they catch any shit for it???
VIVA LA BRITNEY!!!!!!
fuck yes
In her FIRS week? Really? You are such a shitty reporter. YOU NEVER proof read anything you write. It's so embarrassing.
OH FUCKING GROSS- just proves how many STUPID MORONS there are out there. If she wants to go really balls out, she should HANG herself- then imagine how many units she'd sell!!!
Perez Hates Me ^^
Good for her! Now shut the fuck up Perez. You're just trying to ride her coattails and get whatever scraps you can by using her name. You are such a nobody!
Why in the hell are people buying her albums?? Britney has no singing ability at all. Her vocals are so over processed to cover up the fact that she can't sing, and on top of that she can only sing in one tone. Are there any real musicians anymore?
Re: sashahaha – The MAJORITY of theis woman's fans are [flamboyant] gay men and trashy young girls.
YAY BRITNEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
kanye is a douche
Re: Uhohnogo-You got that right (what a loser) I still cant believed she married him.
Re: theD –
Are you fucking serious? Fuck you and your family you dumb bitch. Britney is back, she's got a #1 single, #1 album, 2 hit videos and 4 amazing performances. Haters are just scared they don't know what to do because BRITNEY IS OFFICIALLY BACK
Starlighter: huh…. i had to re-read my post, cause u threw me for a loop! but then too ur probably in a mental hospital. gotta be!
I wasn't smearing any1, just gave my 2 cent, bruh. so throw that BS towards PH cause he's the shit eater
Wow haters must feel the pain right now, they must feel so bad Britney is doing this good. They're scared, thats why they'll say anything to bring her down.
But its official now. Britney is back and here to stay. THIS IS THE GREATEST COMEBACK IN THE HISTORY OF MUSIC
Bitch is on fire. And fuck you if you have doubted this comeback.
I love Britney so much!
I only wish the best for her.
Great job, and I LOVE her Cd!
Love Her!!!!! Can't wait to see her in concert!
Good for her!
Eat it haters! The queen is back.
In your face to all the assholes who said she was a has been, her career was over, and all the other bs you spat.
Congrats Britney, your fans LOVE you!!
I am so happy Britney is back!! I got her new album and I love it better than Beyonce and Kanye West albums!! Beyonce needs to realize she made some boring songs on her new album!! Kanye West I love him but sad to say the songs sound the same beat and lyrics are all the same about love n heartbreak and nightmares wtf?!!! I love CIRCUS!!!!! Buy her album, its a good comeback album!!! ITS BRITNEY BITCH!!!
yay for britney
Britney has proven all the haters wrong! For all of those who have doubted, hated, bashed, its official - look at the numbers, Britney is back and she is here to stay.
This will go down as the GREATEST COMEBACK IN THE HISTORY OF MUSIC. For her to go through so much last year and come back with a #1 single, #1 album, 2 hit music videos, a tour, and 4 great performances is just AMAZING. Haters can go eat their words now.
Re: Krissstinee x3 – do you really because it seems like you'd be more of an oc fan
Re: Starlighter –
LMAO Can you try harder? You are making yourself look like a fool, Britney was the one who paved the way for female pop artists, if it weren't for her there would be no Xtina, no Pink, no Miley Cyrus, no Katy Perry. She is a fucking legend, how dare you talk about her like that? But I guess the haters are just scared. You must be threatened by the success of Britney's new album, which is why you feel the need to tear Britney apart.
HOW PATHETIC.
I'm so happy for her. She deserves it, especially since so many people said her career was over. She has proved you wrong, haters. Britney is back.
Well I loved Blackout so not surprised this one is doing so well as she just keeps getting better.
Re: Starlighter – ugh, no point in arguing.
show me the numbers first and then we will see who was right.
blaming gays on her success is unfair.
blame it..well, on this country!
gays are only 10% of the entire population, so go figure who bought them.
what do u have to say to that now?
THANK GOD SHE REALLY I MEAN REALLY NEEDS THE MONEY U KNO WITH THIS ECOMONY AND ALL SO WHAT IF SOME KIDS HAVE TO GO TO BED HUNGRY AND ALL AS LONG AS CRAZY MAKES LOTS OF MONEY SO SHE CAN CONTINUE ON HER DOWNWARD SPIRALL THAT ALL THAT REALLY MATTERS RIGHT?
It may have sold but its still the worst album shes ever put out. She has no talent just a mac computer with effects to hide the imperfections in her voice smoke another ciggy Britney.
yeah go Britney! I knew she would do well.
With all the publicity she got for this album and that's all she sold? She went around the world with the media watching every step. If she wasn't lip syncing and just walking around the stage she might have doubled that.
Re: britney_rox –
I think Aerosmith's comeback is more note worthy.
.
.
.
JUST LIKE LG, BRITNEY IS BACK AND BETTER THAN EVER!!!
.
TEAM BRITNEY!!!
.
i'm SOOOOOOOOO happy for her! she's deserves this BIG TIME! GO BRIT!!!!
yeahh bitch!!!
gotta say..album is kinda bananas!
i love this bitch.
Britney is King of the World
the album is amazing as usual
yayyyy, i'm so happy for britney! i think her documentary made everyone love her again, plus the weight loss obvi
I think her music sucks, her dance moves suck now, and her looks will suck some more but that indefinable X factor in her is undeniable. I guess she was born to be loved by millions.
because britney's the best, duh!
Re: LizardKinG –
Wait, who? Aerosmith HAD a comeback? Im sorry but I didn't even know they're still making music. Britney is a legend, shes everywhere, shes been through hell I mean look at everything shes done in 2007. NO ONE Can go through that and come back like Britney did. NO ONE. That is why this is the GREATEST COMEBACK EVER.
YAYYY
congrats Britney!
you deserve all sucess,and happiness!!
im so happy for you!xD
……….and THAT, Kanye, is why MTV still gets BRITNEY to open their shows.
Because she sells more than you!
It is laughable that the masses find this kind of overproduced repetitive fluff worth spending time and money on. Just goes to show that the average tween has no concept of real music.
I expected nothing less… Perez, you forgot a comma lol (((smile)))
congrats brit. me and my sister
( who is 26 married with children, not a teenager) went out and bought the album the first day it came out.
im not gay, have nothing against gays, but im not gay…and im gonna get called gay cuz i enjoyed the album.
lmao. this message isntto everybody, but those who chose to be judemental and blindesided need to wake up. ive got a girlfriend and she can tell anybody im not gay. and ill roll up next to all the "gangster" muthaf&*^ers and put the cd on blast. i like what i like and i do what i like.
congrats britney good job on the cd.
YAY!!! LOVE YOU BRITNEY!! You deserve this!! Can't wait to see you LIVE in March!!!!! LOVE LOVE LOVE
and by the way. people have different taste and opinions. dont push your music opinions on anybody else but yourself. i listen to alllllll kinds of music. slipknot to kanye. just because its not "your standered" of music doesnt mean anybody else has to feel that way. we like what we like. …tell me what music is and what isnt.get out of my face. lmao.
britney is amazing !
luv yahh qurl.. knew yu'd be baq =D
britney had a sweet face and a banging body i wish her all the best and hope she realiszes she doesnt need a man to make her happy
Not a surprise. She is a living legend. Congratulations Britney!
