I hope that she can pull through this too.
Especially for her kids.

This: http://www.espetaculo.com.br/top50.htm by the way is the official album chart in Brasil (considered both official from the ABPD [the RIAA of Brasil] & Billboard Biz/Magazine, which the chart is normally featured in the international section]). Hot 100 Brasil is fake, fake, fake.

Not exactly. The website you posted only reports sales + airplay from Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo, the two biggest brazilian cities. But we still have the rest of the country, which counts for something like 70% of sales and 90% of airplay, Hector.

Me too. LOLZ I saw your post but was too shaken by the whole court thing. I really wish it could've made the album.

That's o.k.
Now that I think about it, OTW would not really fit with the rest of the album though.

True, but at the same time she'd get some recognition for actually singing since the production isn't very heavy on that song. Plus it's one of her best ballads.  IMO.

Green Day back Britney
11/02/2007 4:00 PM, Yahoo! Music

Billie Joe Armstrong claims Britney Spears is "a manufactured child" who has been "thrown to the lions" by the world's media.
The Green Day singer has expressed his anger at the treatment the pop icon has been receiving in recent months, following her September appearance at the MTV Awards.
Speaking about the show, which saw a universally panned display from the star as she readied new album Blackout, he said: "People want blood. They want to see other people thrown to the lions. Watching Britney Spears was like watching a public execution. How could the people at MTV, the people around her, not know this girl was f--ked up?"

Another Britney thing, not the most nice one, but they compliment the album.

OK, let's just get this out of the way, right off the bat: Britney Spears released a new album this week. It is titled Blackout. It is her first real album in four years. (No, her 2005 remixes collection B In The Mix does not count.) We realize this is news, because pretty much anything Britney does--marrying, divorcing, having kids, losing her kids, leaving her house to get Frappaccino, picking her nose--is news nowadays. So we had to mention her album drop, right? Plus, we're practically contractually obligated to include Britney somewhere in this column every week, and besides, word on the street--or, actually, around the Yahoo! office--is that Blackout actually ain't that bad. So our congratulations go out to the album's army of producers, arrangers, engineers, songwriters; the manufacturers and distributors of ProTools software; and the battalion of stylists, hairdressers, makeup artists, personal trainers, and Photoshop experts who slaved over the album's cover image. Their hard, thankless work made Blackout a smashing success. Oh...and congratulations to you too, Britney!

I <3 WSIBS as well, but I just thought that OTW or Sugarfall, or even SOG would have been a better close for the album.
WSIBS? feels like it should have another song come right after it, lol!

LOL now that I think about it, it does feel like it's not over. "OTW" would also leave you wanting more. "Sugarfall" could've definitely ended it, my fav unreleased song from this era, "SOG" could've also made it end nicely.

 at Yahoo! That has actually been said by everyone who is afraid to admit that Britney has finally done something good. It just makes me laugh at their ridiculosity. Because at the end of the day, whatever she did was in her PERSONAL life.

BFT: Lance Visits Britney
After all these years, Lance Bass still remains 'N Sync with longtime friend Britney Spears.
"I saw her last night," Bass, 28, told PEOPLE on Thursday at a Los Angeles signing of his new memoir, Out of Sync.
"I went over to the house. It was great," he said. "I went over to see the kids, and you can tell she's really trying so hard to get herself back in order."
Bass writes in his autobiography that Spears, 25, was instrumental in his decision to speak out about his sexuality.
"She was one of the first people that I came out to. We grew up together, basically. She was the first opening act that we had," he said at the signing, "and she was dating Justin [Timberlake, his bandmate]. We'll always have that family vibe between us."
So what does he make of Spears's ongoing troubles? (Despite strong initial sales of her new album Blackout, she remains embroiled in her messy custody battle with ex Kevin Federline.)
Bass partly perceives her problem as a matter of being a single act as opposed to having been in a group.
Teen superstardom was "easy when you have four of your best friends on tour with you at all times," he says, recalling his own 'N Sync days. "If your head gets a little big, you have four guys slapping you and going, 'What the hell are you doing?' "
By contrast, Spears "was by herself. It's different when you're a solo act, and you don't have anyone around you telling you no."
Bass's advice to Britney now is simple. "Just be yourself," he says, "and remember where you came from."
