Most of you said you weren't planning on buying Britney's new album, but it looks like the masses disagreed on this one. Blackout sold over 325,000 copies, making it No. 1 on the Billboard charts after its first week. This is a great accomplishment for Brit, but it's still only half of In The Zone's opening week sales of 609,000 copies. We want to know — are you surprised that Britney's album hit #1?

Calvin Klein
Alexander Wang
That can't be a recent picture of her....
1to be honest no..im not surprised...her loyal fans are like bulldogs...
..they are attackers
man.
2Tell the truth Pop..other websites are saying that The Eagles should have sold more than her,walmart just does not count the sales I guess..Idk.it was on dlisted..she is a pig ..
3so technically I think the Eagles sold more than her..IDK..I just am sick of this trash.
4She is SO LUCKY that the Eagles only sold through their website and Wal-Mart. Otherwise their 700,000 cds would put them at #1 on the Billboard charts!
She sold the 2nd best in the country, but she still gets #1. Lucky!
I think her cd will perform like her other cds, and drop very fast. Her last cd only sold 2 million, and this had 1/2 of the opening. I bet this cd doesn't surpass 2 million.
5LOL..I can't believe Britney still has fans..
6Those were the rabbid fans. Sales will probably drop off next week to nothing.
7And the Eagles not only out sold her this week...
They did it by selling nearly 50% MORE than she did. I think that says a lot.
8there was so much hype surrounding its release whether it be positive or negative.
i think a lot of the sales were purely based off of curiosity.
9Me either. her fans make me sick.
10She does NOT deserve all this support.
yea i was thinkin the same thing su9a..if that or just to prove piss people off..LOL
11Thanks Jillness
I read that on Dlisted..
12most people hate mothers that neglect their kids,but yet people still support this monster...
13im going to admit.. i downloaded gimmie more! haha.. but listened to the rest of her CD was not soo great! i listened to it on the net.. and blah! i feel sorry for the people who spent the money on it!
14it's ok summer..just glad you did not buy this pigs cd
15That's because the Eagles are actually a GREAT band... Of course they may be old or whatever but if you look at the people their gearing towards, of course their cd's going to outsell Britney's. The older generations buy their music, our generation downloads that sh*t for free.
16im not surprised -- not cuz of loyal fans but of the morbid curiousity
17Very surprised; she is not close to being any sort of role model to anyone.
18The Eagles sold over 700,000 but it didn't count on Billboard because it was only sold at Walmart. I wouldn't buy her album , I never like her in the first place.
19I dont think its totally all because of her die-hard fans. Although there are still a bunch out there...unbelievably.
I like the music, even though i despise her. Its just a product of a bunch of good music producers with good editing equipment. She put almost zero effort into it. and NO...i havent bought it. lol.
20yea.. and i pretty much "stole" the song from her lol cuz i downloaded it illegally! haha biatch!
21i'm shocked! whatever, those who bought it prolly got like gazillion copies.. maybe to give out to those who won't buy the friggin album.
22Besides her new song, which is very catchy I must admit, her album stinks. I am very surprised people still support her and are buying her new album.
Maybe she can take this money and put it to good use by going to a good Rehab center and hiring a good therapist?
23Why oh why Eagles would you sell your music through Wal-Mart? That place is such trash. I NEVER go there.
24I agree, it's the loyal fans, rushing out to buy it as soon as they can. It'll be interesting to see if it's still shifting next week. She so doesn't deserve it, she hasn't done a thing to promote it.
25Actually, I even saw an ad for it on tv the other night... when was the last time anyone saw an ad for an album on tv? I sure can't remember. Just goes to show the record company are desperate because she won't get her lazy ass out there and promote it!
26It is, I think that pic is from this weekend. And I'm not suprised at all actually! I bought it and its the first Brit CD I've ever purchased, so go figure. I guess I like her better now that she's a loser!
27
LOL
28Well really she ins't number one. And the fact their are people buying this album is crazy. Well crazy girl, crazy fans. I know is I won't be supporting the Trainwreck.
29I like walmart..and I like it that the eagles were selling there,cuz the stuff is cheaper and when you are on a tight budget like me,it helps
30i got her album and it's great! her songs are in my head all along the day!
31It's not just the die hard fans that bought this. It's actually a good cd, and it's gotten good reviews. I own most of Britney's cds and this is my favorite.
32blech... i can't stand her fake-ass voice. most of america is so f*cking stupid!
33letsgetloud21, i couldn't have used a better word to describe her... she is a pig!
34I got the album. I really love it. And I don't buy an album by thinking if the artist deserve it or not.
35Music is one thing and private life is an other
Does anyone think her songs are "music", if so it is not good music. But I get that she makes some good dancing hits.
36her private life isn't private,it's like an open circus ..
37Are the people who bought the CD for support or just out of curiosity? No offense to anybody, but I think the sales is just this big because of the positive and negatives that were surrounding it when she made her comeback.
38I bought the album, too, and I love it. I went to Circuit City at about 8pm the day it was released and they were sold out, so I went to Target and they only had 2 copies left. Not surprised at all that it was number 1.
39you went to all those places just to get her cd..LOL J/k
40I bought some of the songs off of Itunes because they're good to work out to. But otherwise I could care less for the person who's sythesized on the tracks.
41The Eagles Cd is awesome.Thanks for all the info Jillness. The Eagles are also selling their CD through their website.
42She's a SINGER?
43To put it in context, Carrie Underwood sold 527,000 copies last week of her new album last week to hit #1. That's over 60% more than Britney sold.
Jive scouted all the fall release dates to find a week where they stood a chance of being #1, because there is no way she would have hit this on the original release date, when Celine and Alicia also have albums coming out. She probably won't even be in the top ten by Thanksgiving.
44The reviewers seem to like the album. Britney may be crazy, but apparently she put out a good club album.
I did hear you could play a terrific drinking game by taking a drink each time she makes a sex noise.
45It was only 2 places, letsgetloud21
I really wanted it...
46who buys that crap seriously, I can't believe there are people out there with less brain and class than Britney who would actually pay money for her music.
47I don't usually dream about celebrities or even care for them but last night I had an awful dream that Britney got really drugged up and killed herself in a hotel. I hope that isn't an indication of something to come.
48I can't believe her fans are cool with supporting her drinking and drug habits, and she won't even do a tour to return any favours for them...shes a selfish dirty unfit pig...and a sorry excuse for a mother.
49Just like a couple other people mentioned..she's technically not number 1, the Eagles beat her out but since they're only selling through Wal-Mart they don't count those album sales..or something. At least that's what a couple other pop culture sites are reporting.
