Guys, I remember blackout leaking just the way kelly's album is leaking right now. But what I don't remember is how Jive handeled it. Can you please inform me specifically what they have done ? Was Gimme More already released when it was leaking ?
WHAT? Kelly stays with JIVE too???? Because JIVE is a **** company....
"4" did leak if I'm not mistaken, and so did Born This Way, but the leak of BTW was very near the release date, like 2 or 3 days away...
FF album was leak 2-3 weeks before it's official released
If FF leaked only 2-3 days before the release date, It should have sold at least 300k in US and 500k WW...I hate JIVE so much!!
"Gimme More leaked along with "Hot As Ice". JIVE released it to radio right away with a digital release 2 weeks later, it sold nearly 180K first week and rocketed up to #3 on the Hot 100 where it peaked.
In the end JIVE pushed up the release of Blackout by a week and remastered all the tracks, 9 songs leaked before the album was officially released (including GM)."

Is that correct ?
Sounds about right from what I remember.
I've always said that the 'remastering' of Hot As Ice was lousy.
I don't know why Britney isn't interested in promoting her album. Does she think that she can sell her album well without any promotion???? This is what i hate the most about Britney,,,,
I hope that we get more than 4 though, this album is so amazing I think we deserve more than that
