Nov 23 2007Britney Spears’ album sales fall off

Sales for Britney Spears new album “Blackout” have come to a crawl after fans bought only 430,000 copies, according to FOX News:

On Friday morning, "Blackout" stands at No. 59 on Amazon.com. It’s also No. 13 on iTunes, which means that its downloading days are dwindling as well.
A new single, “Piece of Me,” is getting some airplay including on the nation’s top pop station, New York’s Z-100. But that doesn’t seem to make much of a difference.

I’m surprised actually. I thought Britney’s new album was excellent. I even bought copies for my family and handed them out yesterday at Thanksgiving dinner. Everyone seemed pretty happy. I mean, despite my parents disowning me and my 90-year-old grandmother trying to stab me in the neck with a turkey leg. Then my uncle said something about making it "look like a hunting accident.” I dunno, I was too busy trying to suck all the booze out of the rum cake with a straw before the cops came. Unfortunately for me, it was really a meatloaf.

Is it just me, or does she have a honkin' HUGE forehead...

LOOL! She's such a loser

jwhakjwhja SECOND!

fucking cunt!

U R A LIAR!

"Gimme gimmee... gimmee... gimmee... gimmee... (more)".

Even though she's sex-starved and filthy, a rabid ape in the jungle would not even do her, although I'd like to see him try.

I liked her album. I gyrate around my apartment nude in front of open windows to her CD every night before I go to bed.

Surprise, surprise.

LOL! funny story superfish..

The prophecies are coming true... Armageddon is approaching... call Maury, call Oprah, call Dr Phil!! She's about to bomb and achieve a new low!!!

tuff shit

tuff shit

hahaha meatloaf

You mean that after her die-hard stupid fans bought the CD there was no one left? I'm shocked.

britney:: my album is good I hope flop means good sales...brandine get cleatus and the knfolk and tell them moonshine party...Record president::::britney flop means badd i mean (thoughts about it))trainwreck

That is so not true. I dont believe it at all whatsoevar. We have all of brits cdz. This a great comeback ablum and she is more popular now than even before. pretty soon kFed is going to want more money becaus e that is what he does is trick and get more money. and all the newpapers say her album great so why shoulndt you? Thats right just becuase you cant sign and dance liket brit can. all the bad stuff is made up by the paps and it is sooooo obviaous. The paps just made this one up to becuase all my friedns and I have her cdz everyone of them and how can her sales be down. it doesnt make cents so how cna you beleve garbadge like that. Exactly.

Eat it, lick it, snort it, fuck it! YOU SUCK, SHITNEY! Up yer nasty snatch!

***QUEEEEEEEEFFFFF!!!***

She looks good, shame about the hoodie, maybe on a 16yold it would look better.

let me just inform (for those who want to know) i work for harrods in uk and i just wanted to say that we've been playin britney;s album for 3 days now and all the customers get into such a good mood when hearin it. i think everyone expected her album to be a bit depressin and sad.. but its amazing what shes done with her songs.. maybe not the best voice but all the songs really put u in a good mood.. dont knock it until u tried it.. my manager said hahaha :)

Yeah, it's what I figured would happen. The hardcore fans ran out and bought up multiple copies and everyone else is ignoring the album entirely. I don't know why she bothered to make an album at all, actually. Obviously, her heart wasn't in it, she's not interested in promoting it, and it's not like she needs the money...

Ah, well. Perhaps this will get through to her in a way that losing custody of her kids and having to undergo drug testing hasn't? Nah. I'm starting to think nothing can get through the Britney.

Hmmm, sh*tty album sells barely more than Federline's effort, GASP!

haha great storyline fish dude!

It truly isn't that bad of an album, my younger sister's friend burned it for her from a CD she bought and it sounds just like the other albums she did. It'll be played on crappy tv shows like the Hills and whatever else. People just like to bash her because she's batshit crazy but her albums aren't bad and this one isn't that bad either.

FYI I haven't bought it and don't plan on it. My little sis let me listen to it on her Ipod.

she is very busy now. It's said she dated rich guy on a celebrity and millionaire dating site named searchingmillionaire.com but it's not confirmed by her yet.

I think none of brittneys albums should be sold I also dont think she's a good mother but thats a different story

#16 -- aren't you going to learn?

You're defending the undefendable. While you're typing a bunch of misspelled words. Brit's hard at work winning Mother of the Year, which apparently involves up to eight visits to Starbucks a day followed by fast food to soak up the carmelized caffeine.

Step away from the keyboard before somebody gets hurt.

Wait a minute #16! Is that you Jaime? Well listen, sticking up for your older sister is fine but girl you have to draw the line someplace. I mean what's next - Hitler wasn't so bad after all?

That's hilarious that she is now buying sweaters from Bluenotes...

Oh, what a pity! someone just found she is wondering on an online community site Sugarmommymeet. you know it is an ad*lt site just for rich women to look for extramarital relationship... you can guess what she is doing there if she really joined the service.

..............MAYBE IT'S TIME TO PACK YOUR THINGS AND GO!!

That sweater is Primp, dumbfucks. Best she has looked in a long time.

I really hate to stereotype, but now I seriously doubt that I will ever read a non-idiotic comment from a Britney fan in my lifetime. I'm not even asking for a smart one. Just non-idiotic.

My 90-year-old grandmother dresses like that,..playin the slots in Vegas

My goodness. Personally, I'm shocked that this could happen. /cough

so happy to hear that.... =)

Jesus she seems to get uglier by the day. She now looks like a tired 40YO transvestite. Even though she has very little to do with 'her' music, it also seems to be getting worse, which is very difficult to do. The Milli Vanilli guys had better people creating their music; Why cant she use them? Anyway she should go ahead and start selling her ass; she already looks like a disease infested, drug addicted street whore.

Britney's album is certainly not good, but that's not the issue. People have been buying crappy music for decades and will continue doing it for decades as well. The problem is her image: now that she's more famous for being a train wreck than a singer, she's not easy to market.

You still would tho wouldn't you

I am shocked!!! How can this be??? It is sooooooo unexpected.

What, did she buy out the entire stock at Ugly-Hoodies-R-US? Where the hell is she getting these nasty things?

What ever happened to that bird she bought. It looks like she must have smashed it all over her sweater. Her sweater is also very poorly made, just look at how the bird pattern does not match up with the pattern on the other half of the zipper, half of the birds have their heads cut off. I hope she bought it at a discount store in China, otherwise, she was really ripped off.

As much as you would like to trash Britney and see her demise - YOU ARE OH SO WRONG - her album Blackout has sold 872,000 around the world and the sales are growing and even better she is #3 on the worldwide charts and #1 in some countries.
It's a fantastic CD and Britney is talented - you are all just mad and judgmental - have you earned $100 million dollars or done much of anything
with your lives. It must feel good to go along with the media bashing - it must make you assholes feel superior. Pathetic!

you are hellaciously...not funny. but nice try? being stabbed with a turkey leg...oh yeah i get it..ha ha.

ha

I bet her next big gig is a duet with avril, at a mall opening, seniors movie night, bingo hall etc etc.

Still sinking and sinking and sinking.......

#42....

Does it take making $100M to "do anything" with our lives?

Does $100M mean one has done anything with her life? I forgot; Britney keeps many Starbucks open and drug dealers employed. She must be special.

She looks happy. I hope she really is

I just dont understand what the fuck is wrong with this country!!!!!!! Brittany Spears is a no talent, white trash peice of shit. She has never had the ability to sing and never will!!! She needs to just go away like every other talentless singer.

Britney is a talentless whore. she doesn't even write her own music.

you talk so much shit! i dont get it are you paying out yourself or brit-brit? no one cares about your lame thanks giving or life so just report how shit celebs lifes are NOT YOURS

"no one cares about your lame thanks giving or life so just report how shit celebs lifes are NOT YOURS"

YO Krysten, Thanksgiving is one word not two. And I don't care if you graduated high school or not, but if you're going to post, try learning some basic rules of sentence structure. We all read Superficial to get our fill of witty, snarky celebrity gossip...we don't need to get dumber in the process. Cheers, I apologize if you were drunk while writing that.

what are you doing? I know you wander around the online site Sugarmommymeet,right? It's a club for those rich women to find hot guys. Does this mean you want to be a sugarmommy?

#41, "What ever happened to that bird she bought. It looks like she must have smashed it all over her sweater." Priceless.

Poor Brit Brit fans spend every dime they can get on her CD's but she is still the most badly dressed, celebuwhore in tinseltown. Even her most die-hard fans won't have enough money to abort her steady demise...,

Id still tap that.

I can totally believe she only moved around 400K copies in the US. I really don't like reveling in her personal problems, but she should have known that pop stardom is fleeting and she doesn't have the voice to do the 'comeback' thing years later where people will shell out 125 bucks a seat to see her at MSG.

Her shelf life is past in the business. Shame, she could have milked maybe another album out of it if she had just cleaned up her shit and stayed fit (mentally and physically).

Sad really..

What ever happened to that bird she bought. It looks like she must have smashed it all over her sweater.

I've had better sex since I've been a nudist, because I'm so much more comfortable with how I feel about myself physically. So I can be with someone and say to myself, My friends on http://www.naturistspace.org told me "I love my body so much, and if you don't that's your problem." There is no room to be self-conscious.

This happens because of her private life!

amazing this..hottest women http://www.spymac.com/details?2298228 hi hi click

Her "Blackout" album is pure computerized CRAP. I am not surprised is falling from the charts.

Lol y'all are so tired 'Blackout' is selling well on the global scale, and have y'all even thought about checking the digital album sales charts?? Because um..yes..they do count bitches. 'Blackout' has been the number 1 digital album since it was released, did y'all know that? Did y'all also know she broke yet another record for the largest first week sales for a digital album released by a female artist in the sound scan era?? I guess not, y'all are envious that a girl who seems to have such a troubled personal life is so financially set no matter what y'all think about her. Giggle...chuckle...but Britney is laughing all the way to the bank.

she'"s baaaaaaaaaack deal with it. she is the best. just admit it this album is one of her greatest albums.

I think its funny how Fox News talked about how her album ONLY sold 450,000 copies! As I remember selling 450,000 copies is NOT bombing!!!! Her CD is actually really good, friends of mine who hate Britney Spears actually had to agree that this album was good. I made everyone listen to it to prove to them that is was good. People just love to hate her and I cant change that people want to call her a cunt, because you know, they know her so well and I'm sure they know the whole story because they read crap sites like TMZ, and you know TMZ is just all-knowing and they dont exagerate stories at all.

I liked her CD [which is what this paragraph was about, not her personal life]
