LMAO. I don't get why people are being surprised about Britney's drops. She's only selling now because her name is on the cover, which is respectable.

^yeah, but you said it like the music wasn't good. The music is great, it's just people don't really care to listen that aren't really into her already

He said that "Blackout" is only selling because its Britney´s. It has her name on it. Obviously he wasnt talking about the music.
Seems like Trampera is losing her mind  (just wanna start a fight  , jk about "T")

And that was my point exactly. In reality, she's supposed to sell MUCH LESS than that, considering there's no promotion. But her name is what actually making these 80K people buy the album. I would be surprised about her drops when there's some promotion that involves the music and tempts people to buy the album, other than the tabloid nonsense that ignorant people think of it as a good enough promotion.

Jay-Z Leapfrogs Eagles, Britney For No. 1 Debut
November 14, 2007, 11:10 AM ET
Katie Hasty, N.Y.
Jay-Z scores his 10th No. 1 album on The Billboard 200, as "American Gangster" (Def Jam) debuts on top this week after selling 425,000 copies in the United States, according to Nielsen SoundScan. The rapper thus ties Elvis Presley in second place for the most No. 1 albums on the chart; only the Beatles have had more, with 19.
Since 1998, all eight of Jay-Z's solo studio albums have hit No. 1, in addition to his "Collision Course" project with Linkin Park and his "Unfinished Business" collaboration with R. Kelly.
After bowing at No. 1 last week, the Eagles' "Long Road Out of Eden" (Eagles Recording Co.) slips to No. 2 with 359,000, a 49% sales decrease. Garth Brooks' "The Ultimate Hits" (Pearl) debuts at No. 3 after shifting 352,000 units. Brooks' last studio set, 2001's "Scarecrow," debuted at No. 1 with 466,000. His only releases since then have been Wal-Mart exclusives and were thus not eligible to appear on The Billboard 200.
Teenaged R&B heartthrob Chris Brown starts at No. 4 with his sophomore Jive album, "Exclusive," which sold 294,000. His self-titled 2005 debut opened at No. 2 with 154,000. "Exclusive" features Brown's recent Hot 100 chart-topper, "Kiss Kiss," featuring T-Pain.
Carrie Underwood's 19 Recordings/Arista Nashville set "Carnival Ride" falls 3-5 with 121,000 (-29%), while Josh Groban's holiday album, "Noel" (143/Reprise), descends 6-8 despite a 52% sales increase to 116,000.
Selling 87,000 copies, Britney Spears' "Blackout" (Jive) slips 2-7 with a 70% sales hit in its second week. At No. 8, Taylor Swift's self-titled Big Machine debut flies from No. 26 with a 156% sales increase (68,000) in its 55th week. The boost came with the album's DVD-enhanced reissue and her Horizon award win at the recent CMA Awards.
Angels & Airwaves' second Geffen album, "I-Empire," begins at No. 9 with 66,000. The band's first set, "We Don't Need To Whisper," bowed higher, at No. 4, with 127,000 in May 2006.
His first album since completing jail time and surviving a near-fatal car accident in 2006, Cassidy's Full Surface/J set "B.A.R.S. The Barry Adrian Reese Story" begins at No. 10 after shifting 63,000. His sophomore release, 2005's "I'm a Hustla," started at No. 5 with 93,000.
Other big debuts this week include Latin reggaeton duo Wisin & Yandel's "Wisin Vs. Yandel: Los Extraterrestres" (Machete) at No. 14 with 53,000, country quartet Little Big Town's "Place to Land" (Equity Music Group) at No. 24 with 35,000, the Def Jam score/soundtrack to "American Gangster" at No. 36 with 21,000 and the Starbucks Entertainment holiday compilation "Stockings by the Fire" at No. 43 with 18,000.
Album sales are up 7.5% from last week at 9.95 million units and down 16.8% from the same week in 2006 (11.95 million).

KEYS UNLOCKS THE CHART TO #1
“No One” does it better than Alicia Keys.
The nine-time Grammy-winning songstress is at it again, with her eagerly anticipated third J/RMG album, As I Am, looking like it will easily top next week’s HITS sales chart, boasting a total that looks like it could hit 550k, according to those retailers not too shell-shocked to see records actually selling to take our call.
That would top the week’s other major diva release, Celine Dion’s Columbia bow, Taking Chances, which is looking like 250k and maybe more, with plenty of frontloaded TV for the Las Vegas star’s first new English language album since 2003’s One Heart.
That hits compilation perennial, Now 26, this time on EMI, follows with a debut of 200k, showing signs of wear from iTunes’ ability to cherry-pick the hits.
Rhino’s two-CD Led Zeppelin compilation, Mothership, arrives, hot on the heels of the band’s much-ballyhooed reunion next month, and could hit six figures.
MCA Nashville country legend George Strait is up next, with 60-70k for his latest, 22 More Hits, working the momentum of his recent CMA appearance.
Island/IDJ’s The Killers come next with Sawdust, a collection of rarities and B-sides, which could do around 50-60k.
Hear Music/Concord’s James Taylor will also be in the mix with 35-40k, a total that will include a majority of Starbucks sales.
Warner Bros.’ Seal is up next, with a debut that looks to be in the 30-35k for his latest, System, his first since 2003’s Seal IV.
Meanwhile, Reprise’s Josh Groban is catching fire with his holiday-themed Noel, which has been out six weeks, and will be a contender for next week’s Top 5, with a total that could surpass 200k.
Thanks to the CMA effect, the market was up 7.6% vs last week, down 16.8% vs same week last year and now down 14.5% year-to-date.
