If they release early next year, as I and Steven said before, then they obviously have DIFFERENT INTENTIONS as far as the promotional circuit goes. Because we all know they release during Holiday spree to get quick sales. If they release late Winter/Spring, they know that's not the biggest sales time, but with BRITNEY, they know they could get major sales with promo. That also gives time for a big tour throughout the Fall/Winter when they are most profitable, and of course, again FULL YEAR OF SALES.
She can easily achieve 2 - 2.5 million releasing early 2011. If she releases at the end of this year, more than likely it'll be more of the same as it's been since 2001. Album releases, we get some promo, the first couple singles SMASH. Then 3rd and beyond singles do okay because they are satisfied with her going Platinum in 4 weeks, and some average sales.

I hope you're right then. But to have a full year of sales and a long successful era with more than 3 successful singles they need to do a little more than what they did for the Circus era. One performance the week of the release won't be enough to match the
Circus sales because this time the album won't have the holiday sales. I love Britney but I'm just being realistic.
By the way when you said 2 - 2.5 million, are you talking about the US only?
Because selling over 2 million in the US only is really difficult these days, especially for a pop artist. The only pop albums to do that in the US the last 4 years are Future Sex /Love Sounds, The Dutchess, Good Girl Gone Bad, The Fame & The E.N.D and those were albums with long eras, a lot of promo and multiple successful singles.
I bet they're kicking themselves.
