Uh Oh!!

Looks like Ke$ha’s career might need some extra boot camp training because her sophomore album, Warrior, is not looking so hot on the battle field.

Besides being dissed by Britney Spears recently, the hard partyin’ entertainer is projected by RCA to sell only 80-85,000 albums in its opening week. OUCH!!! That’s a far cry from her debut album which opened at No.1 with 152,000 copies sold.

She’s doing even worse with our British friends, landing

The boys of One Direction have a LOT to celebrate!

The British boyband is sweeping the WORLD with their super catchy pop tunes, all while breaking records left and right!

And now they've reached yet another milestone — they’ve sold 12 million records worldwide since just September of last year!

So, what was included in the 12 million count? The boys sold eight million singles, three million albums and one million DVDs!

Talk about a MASSIVE achievement!!

They're not bad. They're not great, either.

Industry sources project that Britney Spears latest venture, Femme Fatale, will sell somewhere in the neighborhood of 275,00 to 300,000 units in its first week in America. If they are correct, the disc will surely be dubbed the highest-selling album of the week, but it is a far cry from her former glory.

Consider that Circus sold an impressive 505,000 units in its first week and that was only two-and-a-half years ago! By comparison, this would be a disaster!

Shame! We love the new album, but there are just too many factors working against it, we fear. The fact that it leaked weeks ago sure doesn't help, combined with the fact that there was literally NO promotion for it before this week. Add on the fact that there was some really bad buzz about her much-hyped GMA performance and even worse buzz around her tour…this is just a bummer.

But we will say this…we encourage you to get the album, if you haven't already OR if you have from some other, illegal means. Brit-Brit needs the support of her fans to prove its worth going through all the trouble. Right?

After releasing her debut album Music of the Sun only six years ago, Rihanna has passed the 10 million mark in UK record sales!!!

What a phenomenal achievement, and she's still so young! She JUST turned 23 this week!

Here's what Mercury Music Group UK President Jason Iley had to say about her:

“It was clear to me from the first time that I met Rihanna that she had the potential to be one of the most successful artists in the world."

“It has been a privilege to work with her these past six years. I believe that we have only seen the tip of the iceberg, and I’m looking forward to seeing her achieve even greater success in the coming months and years.”

We agree! She'll most definitely achieve all types of success as time goes on!

Congrats, RiRi! Very impressive!
