That tactic is still used today, example Kid Rock's All Summer Long was never released as a single on Itunes...

his album was in the Top 10 for months...

You really need to learn to control your emotions over somebody's ****ing opinion.

No one is knocking the fact that Christina sold 8 million & 4 million albums with her first two CDs. My comparison was not of hatred. Obviously when I said outstanding I meant they didn't reach where the could have if her management did what Britney's did. I'm not trying to compare them deliberately or to say Britney's better. It was showing how Britney sold 14 million & 10 million with her debuts due to some of the singles at the time not being released physically, and therefore not charting as high but the album sold. While Christina charted high and didn't achieve two Diamond certifications.

I know she's a success, so what is there to accept? I'll say what the hell I want, and you can visit Dr. Phil to deal with your emotional issues.

Are you speaking to me? I knew that, album went top five though for a while I believed. I was just giving the specific Britney situation and how they've done it a number of times.

im just speaking in general, giving another example for the US.

good #1

Not always, but for the most part yes. If the new single is sold with a bonus new song or new remix, then it'll be higher, but yes, for the most part, the bigger album sales, the lower single demand.

It's about time the Hot 100 started getting "hot"

Sorry I pissed you off, Rico, but Mazen and Anthony have more of a right to bitch me out than you do. I wasn't trying to jump down your throat, but you just need to be more clear in your posts sometimes because it sounds an awful lot like you're dismissing Christina in order to praise Britney. This isn't the first time I've noticed you do this.

"Outstanding sales" generally refer to blockbuster sales, which Xtina has achieved more than once. Maybe relative to Britney they're not as outstanding, but you didn't say that and that's why I got upset. Thanks for clearing it up.

Im predicting that Womanizer will be #2 or #3 this week

I predict #2. Im being generous because last week I expected her to climb to #2.

Go Hot100-ney!!

WHo will be #1?

Whatever You Like audience is like 155 million
Live Your Life audience is like 70 million
Womanizer audiencie is like 32 million


So.. to be #1 again, Britney has to sell more than 120k than Whatever You Like and 40k than Live Your Life.

it's Impossible

^ It is possible.

can pink climb back? so what is ahead of live your life and pinks audience is highr too or am i wrong

^ur rite

Im sure Whatever You Like will be back at #1, but then #2-#4 will be very close between Britney, T.I./Rihanna, and Pink.

i hope kevin rudolf

I wish it would go #1. It deserves it more than ****** Low or Crank That. And it definitely deserves it more than LYL and WYL.

BTW, it is very possible P!nk can take #1 again soon. She is ahead of LYL on downloads and she's inching up on both digital and airplay. Hell, she's about to break records on airplay!

As long as WYL, LYL, and Womanizer slip up for just a bit one week, P!nk can have it again. It is possible. Actually, it's very possible. I predict this as the top 5.

1. Whatever You Like
2. Womanizer
3. So What
4. Live Your Life
5. Hot N Cold

So What and LYL are hard to predict. It should all come down to sales.

Brit could also be looking at #1 again. Possibly this week? She only needs to have an upper hold of digital sales, which according to iTunes, she has. But is WYL and LYL's AI too high?

T.I will definately be #1 this week. And doesnt Taylor Swift have a chance at cracking the top 5?

Im hoping Britney will be #2 but she might drop as far as #4.
