Derek really? You are willing to not support Britney because you feel her performances aren't up to the level you think it should be? Does her dancing on GMA or in a Vegas show hurt the quality of her music? No. I could understand if it kept you from PAYING to buy tickets to a concert but to not buy her album?
As a fan of Aubrey O'Day, I think you of all people wouldn't be like that. We both watched as Aubrey had the confidence beaten out of her and saw the media tear her apart, and she's not even as big as Britney. You saw what a toll that took on Aubrey both in her looks and in her dancing/singing. How could you in one instance claim to be a fan of Britney, but aren't willing to support her while she's out there busting her ass to promote a damn good CD? She's doing the promo people wanted. She's doing the promo she knows her fans deserve when she'd much rather be at home with her boys eating cheetos and sipping on Starbucks. The drive is still there, the hunger is still there, and she's doing it well.
I'm disappointed you feel that way, but it's your right. I just hope people don't treat Aubrey the same way you're treating Britney.
He's really not. He is no where near as prolific as the likes of Eminem and T.I. at their peak (both whom experienced over 300k with their respective singles when released to iTunes in the forms of Not Afraid, Love The Way You Lie, and Live Your Life), and his hype also isn't anywhere near the level of Kanye, Jay-Z, and others who usually end up selling around 200k with their singles (Death Of Auto-tune, H.A.M and Run This Town). Since he doesn't have that level of hype to his work from his own audience look for sales for 'No Sleep' to reign between 170-190k at the most unless his popularity bars are insane the natural conclusion here is that the sales chart is unnaturally weak at the moment.
Eminem has been a mainstream artist since the late 90s. Wiz is just beginning to break in and that was a PROMO single. If he can crack nearly 300K with a promo single, I think that says alot. In fact, that promo single is likely to out peak TTWE on the Hot 100 this week, which would set Wiz ahead this era since they both already have #1 lead singles. I'm not saying Wiz is on the level of any of those people you listed but obviously the charts are not as dead as you claim considering he is up against some heavy competition.

I guess you aren't aware that Katy's version of E.T. with Kanye West has been revoked from iTunes. That was where a majority of her sales were coming from, it's obvious without the remix she is selling significantly less. It wouldn't surprise me if she dropped really badly this week sales wise because that remix was taken off sale. She's obviously not selling 216k like she did (last?) week. It's also obvious that all the other pop starlets have dropped too. Gaga, Rihanna, and Jennifer Lopez aren't selling as much as they were last week. It has less to do with Wiz "doing something right" than the fact that everyone around him is falling. He has a new song out and naturally that is helping him right now. He probably won't be at that #1 spot for too much longer.
I'm well aware that the remix was removed, but then the original climbed up to the Top 5 and then the remix was shortly released after and it was somewhere in the teens. Before the remix was removed, the original wasn't even in the Top 40. So, if she still couldn't get ahead of him with one version in the Top 5 and the other in the Top 15, yes he is selling ALOT. Is he going to sell more than her for the total week? Of course not. He didn't even get the full week sales. Not my point.

Just wait for something to push him out. Femme Fatale's release may be the thing that pushes TTWE to the top spot
With that logic, No Sleep may go back or stay at #1 because his album will be released at the same time as hers in the U.S. as well.

Did you come here to troll? Regardless GMA and the video pushed Circus to #1 with her last album. Considering she is going to have four performances of TTWE shown during her release week that increases TTWE chance at it being #1. Obvious interest has to be there but it definitely is looking like TTWE will benefit the most from the album release seeing as it's her current single. But we will see. I definitely think four performance within a one week period will be enough for an iTunes #1.
Who's here to troll, sis? And LOL. This is not the Circus era. Sales and hype are obviously different this time around. But who knows, you may be right. I'm not saying that's not going to happen. Let's hope so.

Irrelevant. Jersey Shore is watched by less than 4 million people, and is a cable network. TTWE will be seen by more than 10 million people at the very least. Not to mention your facts are wrong, HIAM got up to #11/12 after the music video was released when it was lingering in the 30's before, so obviously it did help.
Irrelevant? Well, the Brit stans were sure making a big fuss over it when it was announced thinking that it was going to catapult the single, and I'm pretty sure that it was NOT in the 30s before the video premiere. It was like in the 20s and the singles moved up like 5 spots. That's it.

I don't understand what my last.fm plays or my avatar has to do with my disappointment in the performances
and Sidebar but Ms. O'day can WERK thank you and I will defend her until the end.
Anyway, I'm not gonna waste my time arguing with fans but my opinion:
TTWE >>>>>>> GMA 2008 but it's still no where near where it could be. Things will never change if you guys continue to support it either! It's all excuses, blame the edit yet she didn't even do the HIAM choreo in the performances, wait until the next performance and she will kill it, analyzing a 2 second bit of a video to see if u can hear her sing a note.
I guess you aren't aware that Katy's version of E.T. with Kanye West has been revoked from iTunes. That was where a majority of her sales were coming from. It's obvious without the remix she is selling significantly less. It took E.T. (album version) awhile for it to move up and rise to where it is now (#4). It wouldn't surprise me if she dropped really badly this week sales wise because there isn't that remix which initially launched and kept up sales. She's obviously not selling 216k like she did (last?) week.
E.T sold 260k last week. The sales aren't as low as you think.
If he can crack nearly 300K with a promo single, I think that says alot.
OMG. Wake up. Jay-Z, Kanye West, and various other prolific rappers can't get 300k for a first single. What are you smoking that makes you think Wiz is going to sell that amount, and may I please have some? My whole point was that he is likely to not even break 200k this week.
Quote:

Don't play yourself. The only reason TTWE has a low peak at the moment is because it was released with four days less sales than everything else on the chart. It likely would have went top 5 if it had 6 days.

What heavy competition. Everyone around him is falling? It's obvious that there has been a sales decrease this week. Unless you really believe JCGE and NS are selling 230-250k. Which in itself is a scary thought because that just makes no sense. E.T. and OTF (both which sold 215k or above last week) dropped several spots from last week. It's obvious they aren't selling what they did last week. The Idol effect has most likely ceased, and now J.Lo is dropping, Katy lost a big amount of sales she had when her remix with Kanye was revoked. They aren't selling anywhere near the same amount as they did last week.

Than you have completely lost me on what your point was meant to be, cause your not making any sense. You just said that NS was selling massively, and now your saying that E.T. is likely to out sell NS. Even though it's #4 on iTunes, and has been moving up steadily since the iTunes deletion and Katy had days to lose sales she would have had if not for the iTunes error

Does NS have airplay? is NS being performed? Is Wiz going to have the #1 album? Is Wiz going to have promotion? Likely not on the level of that of Spears. And I am done with you and this conversation. We will see what will happen with Wiz and Spears in a day or so.

Thanks for this. That being said I still don't think Wiz is cracking 200k. If he does it will likely only be a little over. But yeah, E.T. and various songs this week will likely end up taking hit. The chart just looks like it lost sales a lot since last week.

I wasn't bashing dude. I LOVE Aubrey. And I thought that since we're both fans, and we know how people have (and still) talk trash about Aubrey, that you'd be able to see some of the similarities. That's all...
I will never stop loving or supporting Britney. I don't care if she stands in one place and barely moves her mouth. I've followed her through the WORST time in her career, and will continue to follow as she makes great music.
I am not here for the people talking **** about her so...I'm done with this convo.
