Britney Spears’ CD hits No. 1

December 10th, 2008 // 53 Comments

Britney Spears’ latest CD “Circus” is the No. 1 album after selling half a million copies last week, according to the AP:

The singer’s comeback CD — actually, make that her second comeback CD — will top the album charts next week, according to her label, Jive. Though Nielsen SoundScan does not release its official figures until Wednesday, estimates have the record selling as many as 500,000 copies in its first week of release.
“This is going to reinforce her icon status,” said Barry Weiss, chairman and CEO of the BMG Label Group, which includes Spears’ label. “It’s not just a No. 1 album.”

Britney’s handlers already have a two-month tour planned starting in March, but is she ready? Sources for OK! Magazine say “Are you shitting me?”:

“It is too much for her,” an insider tells OK! of the star. “They packed her schedule too tight and now they’re trying to find free time.”
“She has the talent and the musical chops top pull it off, emotionally speaking, it’s a little too soon,” psychotherapist Dr. Jenn Berman, who does not treat Britney, tells OK!. “I don’t think Britney will hit rock bottom, but it does leave her vulnerable to stress and burnout.”

We’re going to hear the “Is Britney ready to tour?” narrative ad nauseum until the thing launches in March, so let me just answer it definitively once and for all: HELL FUCKING NO. Unless, of course, the point of the tour is to make Britney think she’s Mary Poppins again then be found days later using her children as boxing gloves in an underground cock fight. In which case, okay, yeah, start the bus.

  9. alex

    there is something very humorous about a commenter calling everyone else an idiot… yet spelling imbecile incorrectly.

  10. Bizzerk

    WTF is with those shorts ? Too bad they don’t go a little higher … like right over her fucking face.

  18. Come-Honor-Face

    lip-syncing and bad dancing….cant wait to see that on a live stage……..again….I thought we were supposed to kill her for harvest….why haven’t we done that yet..??..

  19. drewski2u

    No shit #11. Since when do you need musical chops to pull off LYP-MUTHAFUCKING- SYNCHING!!!!!!! Yea Madonna is a creepy circus freakshow, but at least she actually SINGS during her shows. Now granted this Dr. Berman is a psychotherapist, so what does she know about pop music? But what is Simon “…she’s a hugely talented person” Cowell’s excuse?

  20. WTF

    Ok, that’s it. The world is f’n mad.

  21. hmna

    Pic 4: Why is Britney dancing over that poor man’s corpse? Is she happy she killed him with her lip-syncing power?

  22. ummm...yeah

    Who the fuck bought that shit? Or rather WHY the fuck did/would anyone buy that shit?
    It just goes to show how fuckin stupid the people in this fuckin country are, case in point, #2 you’re NOT first asshole, and YOU were probably one of the first dumbass cocksucking bastards that bought that fuckin skanks’ cd.
    As for your name Suckaz, sounds about right for you…
    mimi…STFU.
    #’s 9, 10, 13 right on…lol
    #20…amen

  23. inky

    what the hell is up with those grandma panties/shorts she’s always wearing lately?

  24. JOe

    I’m in awe of how many ignorant, stupid people there are in the world.
    This whore Britney is a nutcase supreme. She is certified 5611, crazy ass whore who is on some really strong anti-psychotic medications.
    That explains her dumbass goofy ass smile. She is so fucking drugged up that she has been reduced to a labotomized version of her old crazy ass self.
    Judging by the pics of her doing her thing in her shows, she couldn’t be any more rehearsed.
    Lyp syncing has transcended true art in music. There is no real music nowadays, and this whore proves it.
    I hope she starts skipping her daily regimine of anti-psychotic meds, so teh old crazy ass Brit can resurface. Hopefully, we’ll see her in a pink wig, green bicycle shorts, leapord print top, walking barefoot into the local 7-11 to buy cigs and Pop Rocks for her preggers sis.
    Fuck Britney is a crazy whore and her fans are even crazier.

    I was eating strawberries.
    Hello

  25. Danklin24

    Half a million albums sold in the first week?? Really??

    Well, all that means is theres 500,000 teenyboppers left in this world with horrible musical taste. It happens. Not everyone can have great taste in music or women.

  26. Vince Lombardi

    Maybe what they say isn’t true: Maybe you CAN polish a turd.

    The Girdle Tour 2009

  28. Clem

    This stupid fuck doesn’t even have to wipe her own arse cos there’s a nine 7ft bouncer following her around all the time to protect her in case she fucks another extra from Deliverance and curses another kid with an eleven-barreled name derived from everyone in her family who ever fingered her.
    “Is she ready?” Well if getting flown round the country and staying in the best hotels, only to turn up to the venue and lip synch for 90mins whilst flapping her arms around is really hard then no, she isn’t ready – and that’s because she has the musical talent of a ping-pong ball and is about as reliable as Amy Winehouse would be on a tour in Columbia.

  29. Gay

    Would her handlers throw $5 million at this to make the album appear to skyrocket to number one?

  30. Rob

    if you bought this CD then you are a douche bag, if you are a dude then you are a faggot douche bag. Music is dead.

  31. HR Dept.

    Her Dad should go into the professional conservator business and oversee all these stupid celebrities, such as Wino, Madonna, the whole NFL, and all the rest of these meaningless retards, it also would pay more than being a personal chef.

  32. I don’t believe for a second that that crap album has sold 500,000 copies to real people. Perhaps 10,000 copies in Japan and 490,000 copies to a mystery buyer at itunes whom goes by Shmitney Shmears.

  33. Diana

    OK! Magazine so mean to Britney all the time. Everytime I see a story about her from them, it’s negative.

  34. Randal

    When hasn’t Britney Spears had a top album on the charts? Every album she’s put together has been one smash after the next. Circus is no different.

    It obviously isn’t a shock to those who have been paying attention to her career as it continues to shine brighter than the last. The media plays a big role in this, attempting to cover the glitter that Britney is with their mean tabloids and rude comments.

    Thankfully, as always, Britney’s talent does it again.

    She is my favorite. Just saw her on milllionaire personals site “”"”" W e a l t h y C u p i d . c o m”"”"”"” last week. I am wondering what kind of relationship she is looking for on that site.Is she single again now?

  36. Rob

    #33 and 34

    Kill yourselves, the world needs you to end your life.

  37. Tom K

    This just proves that Britney fans are absolutely retarded and will buy anything this talentless whore produces! I rather listen to a mouse fart in a can then her horrible singing. I used to say at least the whore can dance but she can’t even do that anymore. What the fuck is wrong with America? Why are they so obsessed with talentless white trash whores, example Paris Hilton, Miley Cyrus, Britney Spears etc….

    Also I agree with #36 LOL! You guys need to be shot!

  38. She is my favorite. Just saw her on milllionaire personals site “”"” W e a l t h y D a t e r .. c o m”"”"”" last week. I am wondering what kind of relationship she is looking for on that site.Is she single again now?

  39. Clarke

    But Britney is still stocky, boobs pointing at the floor, big c-section scar and knee scar, bad skin…..

    Is it time for another 9/11 to bring people back to what is important? Britney is TRASH.

  40. Hull44

    that 2nd pic is so funny. built like mother from the trailer park. oh yeah :p

    Hang on…that isn’t a correct AP quote. Let me fix it…

    NEW YORK – A CD titled, “Circus,” has landed at position — No. 1. This CD features tracks with lyrics not composed by Britney Spears, digitally computer enhanced notes and synthesizer bass tracks that can barely be referred to legally as music that were not composed by Britney Spears, a production staff and various remix editing team members that does not include Britney Spears, various dancing acts, light shows, and other visual imagery that was not choreographed by Britney Spears, and millions of dollars of market machinery by the BMG Label Group of which Britney Spears is not an employee and has no real affiliation.

    However, this CD *does* feature Britney Spears on the box cover, and may be accompanied by a tour in which Britney Spears may lip-synch to a crowd of gullible fans (provided her “icon status” does not induce another period of narcotic-assisted ‘exhaustion’).

    There. Now it’s correct.

  42. Jackson'shole

    #28 I want to marry you.
    and Mimi rides the short bus.

  43. person

    britney may have slimmed down, but oprah is back up, and you know how that works. physics.

  44. Gargamel

    What’s with the granny panties?

  45. I am no Brit fan but Dang you got to hand it to this Cracker. This new vid eo is the bomb: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1zeR3NSYcHk

    BTW The Fish only censors comments with the “N.” Cracker is OK because he is a self-hating white fag.

    1st Amendmanet dude. Read and Frame it.

  46. You really believe this?
    WHO’S FAVOURITE IS LOSER’S MUSIC?

  47. I’m happy for her shes finally back

  48. Abdo

    Go Brit!!
    Fish Sucks!!

  49. Julie Ann

    I’m not exactly a fan of Britney’s music but give the girl props for getting her shit together and making a comeback. Just because she went a little nuts (and can you really blame her?) doesn’t mean she doesn’t have fans around the world looking for new music, etc, from her.

    Welcome back Ms. Spears….hope this time around isn’t as rough for you as the last!

    “She has the talent and the musical chops to pull it off”…
