Britney only got just over half the opening week of the biggest selling album of 2000, which was No Strings Attached. So her record is not even a record. It is just under 60% of the actual record. Even Backstreet Boys had an album with a bigger opening week than Britney in 2000. As did Eminem. Why do Britney stans brag so much about coming fourth in 2000? Do you think Eric Church fans are gonna brag about getting the 4rd highest opening week in 2014 in 14 years from now?
In contrast Taylor is maybe selling 1-1.2 million which is gonna be two times the next biggest opening act this year, which will be 1D. Taylor dominates the sales this year in a way that Britney never did in 2000.
Britney came 4 th 14 years ago. Well done to her. Now let us discuss Taylor who will have the highest opening this year. Not the 4th. The 1st. Compare Britney's 4th place achievements with Eric Church's 4th place achievements. Compare Taylor's 1st place achievements with other artists who also had the highest opening numbers. If we are looking at 2000 then we look at N'Sync not the distant 4th place finisher.
This week may finish with Taylor emulating N'Sync, Backstreet Boys and Eminem as being the only acts with 2 out of the Top 10 opening weeks of all time in the US. Taylor needs 1989 to outsell Born This Way's 1.1 million to achieve this feat.

First of all.... Chill yo buns hun. Second, I think they are proud of her for being a Pop Girl and reaching those sales. It was simply her alone not a band of 5 I don't know. I don't know they brag of those sales (clearly new to ATRL) but it seems pretty legit to be proud of her. She is after all, the Pop Princess darl.
With all of the declining sales,Taylor still stands tall with this amazing album
