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.

    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?

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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!

    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.

    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!
