this is impossible. "3" debuted at #2
Theres still a chance. I really hope she debuts at #01 |
3 had zero competitions if it debuted with much less copies at #1. Grenade is huge everywhere

She already holds record for the highest debut by a female artist with "3."  Her debuts history:
#2 3
#5 Womanizer
#7 Gimme More
#8 Circus
#17 (You Drive Me) Crazy
#19 Lucky
#24 Stronger
#25 Me Against The Music
#27 Sometimes
#31 My Prerogative
#32 Don't Let Me Be The Last To Know
#32 Everytime
#33 I'm Not A Girl, Not Yet A Woman
#34 Born To Make You Happy
#36 ...Baby One More Time
#36 Oops!...I Did It Again
#36 Toxic
#36 If U Seek Amy
#38 I'm A Slave 4 U
#38 Piece Of Me
#39 I Love Rock'n'Roll
#40 Overprotected
#40 Boys
#40 Do Somethin'
#40 Break The Ice
3 of her biggest hits opened at #36.  I don't wanna share my thoughts on the songs that opened at #40, but I'll just say that's not her lucky number.

EVEN MORE RECORDS:- Britney Spears' "Hold It Against Me" sold 411,000 digital copies this week, which enables Spears to break Taylor Swift's record for the biggest first-week sales tally for a song by a female solo artist. The old record-holder was Swift's "Today Was A Fairytale," which sold 325K in its first week a year ago.
- This is Spears' biggest one-week digital sales total to date. It surpasses "Womanizer," which sold 303,000 copies during Christmas week 2008 (when sales traditionally spike).
- "Hold It Against Me" posted the fourth biggest first-week sales tally in digital history. It trails Flo Rida's "Right Round," which sold 636K in its first week in February 2009; the Black Eyed Peas' "Boom Boom Pow," which sold 465K in its first week in April 2009; and Eminem, Dr. Dre & 50 Cent's "Crack A Bottle," which sold 418K in its first week in February 2009.
- "Hold It Against Me" debuts at #1 on this week's Hot 100.
- This is the second time that Spears has opened atop the chart. She achieved the feat in October 2009 with "3."
- Spears is only the second artist in the chart's 52-year history to debut at #1 with two or more songs. Mariah Carey has debuted at #1 three times. She scored with "Fantasy" in September 1995, "One Sweet Day" (with Boyz II Men) in December 1995 and "Honey" in September 1997.
- Spears' achievement is all the more impressive because she has been a star so long. Her first single, "...Baby One More Time," reached #1 in January 1999. Most of the artists who have entered the Hot 100 at #1 have been relative newcomers (such as the red-hot Ke$ha, who did it in November with "We R Who We R").
- Only five other artists who have debuted at #1 had been stars for more than a decade at the time they made these powerful debuts. Elton John had been a star for 27 years when he debuted at #1 in 1997 with "Candle In The Wind 1997." Michael Jackson had been a star for nearly 26 years when he debuted in the top spot in 1995 with "You Are Not Alone." Aerosmith had been a top act for 25 years when they debuted at #1 in 1998 with "I Don't Want To Miss A Thing." Eminem had been a star for nearly 12 years when he debuted at #1 last year with "Not Afraid." Whitney Houston had been on top for 10 years when she debuted in the top spot in 1995 with "Exhale (Shoop Shoop Song)."
- "Hold It Against Me" is Spears' fourth #1 hit on the Hot 100. It follows "...Baby One More Time," which took 11 weeks to reach #1, "Womanizer," which took two weeks to hit the top spot, and "3."
- "Hold It..." will quickly become Spears' eighth million-selling digital hit. Her top digital sellers, per Nielsen SoundScan, are "Womanizer" (3,114,000), "Circus" (2,763,000), "3" (2,049,000), "Piece Of Me" (1,668,000), "Gimme More" (1,627,000), "Toxic" (1,537,000) and "If U Seek Amy" (1,175,000).
- This new entry is Spears' her ninth song to reach the top 10. Digital sales rank: #1 (411k).

And... I think "Womanizer" will pass the 4 million mark in a about year. "Circus" will pass the 3 million mark by summer. "Piece Of Me," "Gimme More" and "If U Seek Amy" barely increased, while "Toxic" has passed the 1.5 million mark.

Exclusive: Britney Spears Teams Up With Gucci Mane
RumorFix has learned exclusively that Britney Spears is hooking up with rapper Gucci Mane for a new song.
Gucci confirms to RumorFix that he'll be spitting a few bars on Britney's new tune, "Hit."
The unlikely duo will meet next week in an Atlanta studio at Mizay Entertainment to record the track.
The hiphop artist tells RumorFix that Britney has been a fan of his music for years, that's why he chose to do the song with her. "Britney's so icy," Gucci tells RumorFix exclusively, "I'm going to make her go Brrr."
And if there's a rapper out there who knows anything about being "icy," it's Gucci. Last week, the Atlanta native had an ice cream cone tattooed on the side of his face to symbolize just how "icy" he is.
Gucci tells RumorFix he chose to work with Britney because she's "raw and exciting. She's crazy. We like to get down like that."

That's the bubbling under chart. She should chart in Belgium with the next update for sure.

One of our followers/readers (thanks Oz) said the company he works for received an order from Jive records yesterday. Today he tweeted me that they’re picking up the trucks TODAY and that the equipment is for three different sets.
Britney has been rehearsing her moves in the studio with choreographer Brian Friedman for a sold 7-10 days, so could it be that the video will be shot tomorrow or this weekend? Now if we can only get the director, Jonas Ackerlund to speed up the editing and get that hit delivered without making us wait too long.

It will eventually. These songs sell mildly without anyone knowing, especially since we don't get the full Digital Songs anymore. It has sold 100k+ since April 2010.
Great records.

but either way, you said in a year.
if it was at those numbers two months ago, that means it sold 21,000 in one month.
21,000 x 12 = 252,000
3,114,000 + 252,000 = 3,336,000
yeah, WRONG.
