Hear about Britney Spears' new baby? Definately. Hear about her new album? Um... Released Nov.22 without the usual PR blitz, B in the mix: The Remixes sold only 14,000 copies in its first week, debuting at no. 134 on Billboard's album chart. A rep for Spears' label, Jive, insists the former Queen Bee of Teenage Pop hasn't lost her touch. The disc of clubby remixes "was scheduled as a limited-edition fan piece," she says,
adding that Brit's working on a full length album for 2006. In general, remix albums rarely find a mass audience (R.Kelly's recent remix record, Remix City Volume 1, debuted only at No. 72) But B in the Mix lacks a photo of Britney anywhere on the cover or CD booklet - a conspicuously low-profile rollout for an artist whose 1999 debut album has sold more than 10 million copies. "It doesnt seem like the best way to sell a Britney CD," says Carl Mello, senior buyer at New England's Newburry Comics music chain. "Though it's a good way to milk the catalog for a few extra dollars over the holidays." And someone does have another mouth to feed.
