Britney's New Album to Take No. 1
Thursday November 1, 2007


Spears’ controversy-crammed life may have weakened her public image, but it hasn’t necessarily hurt her career.

Blackout sold an estimated 124,000 albums the first day of its release Tuesday and is set to become Spears’ fifth consecutive number one album, according to Nielsen SoundScan data.

The album is expected to bump Carrie Underwood’s Carnival Ride and take the number one slot on the Billboard 200 chart, according to Billboard.

Her label, Jive/Zomba, estimates Blackout will sell between 330,000-350,000 copies next week.

But it appears Spears, 25, has yet to recapture the success from earlier in her career: Her last disc, 2003’s In the Zone, sold 609,000 in its first week.

Spears may not mind: In an interview Tuesday, with Ryan Seacrest, she said she thought her new album was “cool” and her favorite track was “Heaven and Earth ... it is a really cool track.”

don't care for either - but that's unbelievable

I never really cared for brittney but her old stuff is way better than her new stuff. I saw her video and was like what the heck. I think it was pretty awful. And if her album is number 1 she has some pretty loyal fans to buy her cd. I hope Carrie beats Brittney ( I don't care for Carrie that much either!)

I guess being in the spotlight all the time has done her good.

puleeeeeeeeezzzzzzzzz! She is just sad....

My thoughts exactly!

I think she is sad too. I just think she should take time for herself and get better before she releases a CD that might not be as goog as it could be if she was in a better place in her life. That's just my opinion.

I think she needs to take care of her babies. Nothing else matters.

she is SO SAD!! and I pray for her and her children everyday.

Wow, that's a shocker! Really surprised me. She must have some really dedicated fans.

hmm...I like Britney's older stuff, but not really into all this crazy drama mess she's got goin on now!!!!
I have kids and not really sure I want them listening to her either.
