Miley sold more albums, singles, records, and she's a much touring act, btw. She can back it up.

Yeah so did the Jonas Brother. They sell out stadiums in South America, they had hit songs and albums, and well.. you know the rest.
She was semi relevant until she decided to start controversy and then blame the media for victimizing her. She was super relevant then, but she ruined it by being ungrateful to Disney and trying to be Britney 2.0. TTOOL EP is super cute, and CBT has some bops though.

LMAO, "LOL" was a disastrous flop and didn't even make back its budget. We’re getting OT.
The Lumineers are gaining once again.

Nearly all the top ten is gaining. I think we can keep the #1 till Sunday. Are there any big new releases on Monday/Tuesday?

The LAST Song was in 2010, before CBT, when she was relevant. And it was a Nicholas Sparks movie, which always do well. And what awards? The Razzies?
I'll give you the hits though. I like her music, I just hate her and her over the top acting.

LOL got like 2 million over its budget, that's still a success. Maybe not a big one, but it's still a success.
Atleast Miley has gotten to do movies and leave Disney though, you can give her that.

Okay, first of all DEAD @ Miley being a household name. 
Second of all, umm.............Demi fights with Simon because that's what Judges are SUPPOSED to do. 
They're supposed to DEFEND their act and explain why they made the decisions they made, something Britney doesn't and has never done. Just look at the UK judges, they all give constructive criticism and fight with each other when one criticizes another's choices, it's just how it is. If Britney gave comments half as good and useful as Demi y'all would be creaming your pants just like how everyone got happy when she made that one comment about Beatrice to Simon.
And Bdawg, yes Paula wasn't some AMAZING judge either but she still showed a lot of personality, interacted with the judges and still gave much better comments than Britney, and when Britney DOES give good comments they're still so short and she never fully goes into it and explains what she means. Like her saying 'I just don't get it' to Cece ( ) or 'I didn't like your song' - she could've explained both of those comments a lot more telling them what she would've preferred them to do or something.
The bottom line is that if Demi judged like Britney did on the panel you'd all be ripping her to shreds and you know it.

You are supposed to fight with opinions, not "you are old, you havent been succesful in a while"

Distributors get only 50% of the gross. Theaters keep the other half.
Take "Crossroads," for example. It grossed $61.2m. Paramount made $30.6m. Subtract the budget (approximately $12m) and the profit was $18.6m. It's one of the most profitable popstar debut movies.

That's just Demi's way of fighting with Simon and it works. Last year Paula made a comment about how Simon doesn't anything because he comes from a place that only has one season.
It shows they have good chemistry together and Simon/the producers clearly agree since Britney was moved when it was clear the two weren't clicking as expected. Like I said, judges on the UK version do the same thing and have been doing so for years.

How do you know it works? Simon got fed up last Wednesday and told her to stop saying he wasnt succesful cause he sold over 300 MILLION RECORDS. He likes the cattyness, but sometimes it's clear he cant stand her.

I still think Miley and even Selena would have better choices and clicked better with Britney. She's obnoxious and annoying as ****. Even when she calls Britney the Queen, it doesn't seem genuine, unlike when Miley and Selena do. She comes across as socially retarded, which is probably why she talks a lot and fast.

Britney explains what songs she chooses, she explains Rolling In The Deep this week.

i cream alot but I'm 98% sure I didn't cream my pants for that comment. Honestly when Demi constantly bickers back and for its a turn off to the show. Every single one of my friends say that as well as mi madre. And what comments does demi say exactly that's just so good? That whats she proud of them? Or the constant "I'm 20 years old" comment made every single night over and over again?

Because I've been watching talent shows for years now. 
And Simon didn't look fed up to me at all, he just looked smug like he always does.

He was like that with Cheryl and Paula as well at times.
I don't agree and actually think it's clear that he likes her. He's already tryna open more doors up for her.

Selena would never. She is actually the smartest one of the three. She knows how to keep herself relevant and have a decent music and movie career at the same time.
Do we have any news on more international charts?
