Britney Spears - Blackout Bumped From #1

I guess Britney can’t catch a break. Her new album, Blackout sells like hotcakes in its first week in stores, to the tune of almost 300,000 copies and still cannot claim the #1 spot on the Billboard charts.

Due to a “technicality” which is allowing the new Eagles album, Long Road Out of Eden to be included in the Billboard numbers despite being exclusivly sold at Wal-Mart. And oh yeah, the Eagles album sold a staggering 711,000 copies!!!

Just hours before the press release was issued that would have crowned Brit the top seller for her fifth studio release, a Billboard executive lamented that even though it appeared the Eagles had handily beaten Spears, they would not debut at the top of the charts because of rules forbidding albums exclusively sold at one retail outlet from hitting the Billboard 200.

And then, Billboard changed their tune….

“In consultation with Nielsen SoundScan, Billboard will now allow exclusive album titles that are only available through one retailer to appear on the Billboard 200 and other Billboard charts, effective with this week’s charts,”

“Prior to this, proprietary titles were not eligible to appear on most Billboard charts.”

And so the bad luck for Britney continues, although selling nearly 300k is not so bad at all…….

    I would never buy her music, it is nothing but dirty lyrics and especially for being the worst pop star ever. I wish truly that she quits and cleans up her act! I feel sorry for her children since they are now motherless. I have to say Britney is just brainless.

    THEY NEED TO LEAVE BRITNEY ALONE. HER ALBUM WAS
    GREAT. THE MEDIA IS SO CRUEL THEY ARE THE REASON WHY SHE IS LOSING HER CUSTODY BATTLE. I HATE TMZ TV. I SUPPORT HER VERY MUCH AND WISH HER MUCH HAPPINESS AND SUCCESS IN HER MUSICAL CAREER
