Spears’ new CD, Blackout, expected to sell 350,000 copies in its first week of release in the U.S.

Too bad for her that The Eagles‘ latest album, the double CD Long Road Out Of Eden, is going to sell more than twice as much as Brit Brit. Yup, they are on track to sell 700k+.

AND, what makes that feat especially rare is that The Eagles new album is only available at Wal-Mart retailers.

Luckily for Spears, though, since the California rockers’ new record is being carried by just a single retailer, the disc is not eligible for the new Billboard Album chart. So Britney will likely claim the #1 spot, even though she clearly doesn’t have the most popular album in America.

She does. Period.

If The Eagles sell 700k and she sells 300k, how do you figure that?

These days physical sales are not the only way to determine popularity. Britney's album is way more popular than The Eagles' album on the web as download charts prove. Actually thanks to this silly OMG The Eagles sold more thingie is that *I* know they had an album out.

From Pulse:

There are credible reports that other music retailers have been going to places like Sam's Club (a part of Wal Mart) and buying boxes of the CD at the discount price and then offerring them for sale at a mark-up at their stores. Such reselling would obviously inflate the sales figures beyond what has been bought by the end using consumer.

Uh huh!

Hopefully she sell +300k

why comparing them ...the p/d for "brave" was at 50-60k anyway...

I wasn't comparing them. I was just laughing at the irony.


And you guys need to stop freaking out about each update. Just wait for the final one. And if it was predicted to sell about 350K then it was based on ALREADY SOLD copies. If the update reached 60% with 100k, It still doesn't mean anything. Get over it.

Yep, no one cares about this Britney album. I mean it's just not the most talked about album in the country right now, it's not, seriously.

[1-N-Only21]

Britney only at 97k.....i hope she can at least sell 350

[TRL Girl]

I hope so too!

The prediction of 330-350 was way off.
