Ellen Loves Blackout :)

And we love Ellen!!!!!

'Blackout' Sales Huge, Soaring To #1

Britney Spears looks to have a clear path to top The Billboard 200.

First-day sales from the eight chains that report to Nielsen SoundScan's Building Charts put Spears' Jive/Zomba release "Blackout" at 124,000 on the report released today (Oct. 31).

That is more than double the number of units posted by Carrie Underwood's chart-topping "Carnival Ride," which rounded up 49,000 sales from the start of the tracking week through close of business yesterday. That album is currently in the runner-up position.

Zomba estimates "Blackout" will open in the range of 330,000-350,000, a ballpark that falls in line with her Building Chart total.

Since the Building Charts' inception, six of the seven weeks' Wednesday leaders were also No. 1 on The Billboard 200 when final charts were compiled with data from all reporting sellers. Jimmy Eat World's "Chase This Light" was the only Wednesday leader that did not hold its pole position.

The Building Charts also seem to confirm that the nation's biggest seller, Wal-Mart, will not report sales on its U.S. exclusive, the Eagles' "Long Road Out of Eden," as that much-anticipated album is missing from the Wednesday list. Wal-Mart usually blocks its proprietary titles from appearing on Top Comprehensive Albums, as was the case with its Garth Brooks exclusives.

Anderson Merchandisers and Handleman Company, the racks that stock music at Wal-Mart, are among the eight accounts who provide data to Nielsen SoundScan's Building Charts. The remaining six reporting merchants are Trans World Entertainment, iTunes, Best Buy, Circuit City and Target.

"In the Zone," Spears' last studio album, opened with 609,000 in 2003 when it became her fourth No. 1 album. The Eagles' last major album, the live "Hell Freezes," began at 267,000 units when it posted the first of two weeks it spent in the top slot of The Billboard 200.

Bonus Britney!!!


Here are two hot unreleased Britney tracks.
The first one is a leaked demo called Over To You Now.
This song is amazing and the chorus is very catchy.
The second one is a song featuring Frank Skinner called I Got You Babe
in which Britney sang at his show. It is ripped from the show, that
if I'm not mistaken I've already posted in the blog. Enjoy!!

Britney Will Do 'Selective Promotion'

Headlines about the travails of Britney Spears have been plastered everywhere for almost four years, but that isn't necessarily all bad for her as a recording artist.

Blackout, the singer's first studio album since 2003, arrives in stores Tuesday, and she still seems to have retained some of the popularity that fueled four No. 1 albums that have sold more than 75 million copies worldwide.

Despite tabloid reports about her marriages and divorce, rehab stints, weight gain, driving mishaps and child custody problems, the 25-year-old singer's latest single, Gimme More, is a sales hit. It topped Nielsen SoundScan's digital songs chart earlier this month and is now No. 8, having sold a solid 527,000 copies in four weeks.

"You almost have to throw out the rule book when you evaluate her," says Geoff Mayfield, Billboard's director of charts. "You might think the attention she's gotten doesn't bode well, but the first single has been well received."

The track initially was strongly embraced by mainstream top-40 radio stations, but it peaked at No. 17 and falls to No. 22 this week. Mayfield says it could become a dance hit but isn't likely to gain footing in other major formats.

Spears sold nearly 20 million copies of 1999's ... Baby One More Time and 2000's Oops! ... I Did It Again, but nobody does those numbers anymore. Even the 2 million sold by 2003's In the Zone would be a good showing in this era of digital track downloads and dwindling album sales.

Still, Barry Weiss, president and CEO of Jive Records' parent Zomba Label Group, is bullish about the album's prospects, based on Gimme More's download sales. He says that it's hard to predict how an artist who has been off the market for four years will fare but that the album's high-energy dance/pop is what her fans expect.

"The sound is a maturation from her prior albums," Weiss says. "In the Zone hinted in this direction, and this album fulfills that promise.""With so much noise out there about her, we are trying to keep the focus on the music as much as possible." He says Spears "will do her part" in promoting the album, but the company will be "very selective" about what she's asked to do.

The 12-track Blackout is produced largely by Timbaland protege Nate "Danja" Hills and the Swedish duo Bloodshy & Avant, who helmed her Grammy-winning hit Toxic. Stephen Lenz, editor of AOL Music's PopEater and a contributor to the blog's Britneywatch, says Spears is the site's third-most-searched-for artist and Gimme More is the fourth-most-watched video. The comments he sees there (music.aol.com/popeater) are evenly split between forever-faithful fans and those disaffected by her antics.

He's not sure how that will translate into album sales, but that may not matter. "She's got her money. The point is to stay relevant. She's really feeding this machine, but it's a Catch-22. She needs to stay in the public eye, but stay out of trouble."

The Reviews Are In...


"Blackout," her first studio album in four years, is not
only a very good album, it's her best work ever - a triumph,
with not a bad song to be found on the 12 tracks."
--Yahoo

"...there is plenty of hot music for dancing one's troubles away
on Britney Spears's new album, Blackout, her first studio CD since
2003's In the Zone"
--People

B+
"Blackout — a collection of well-produced, thoroughly
enjoyable dance songs — may just put this once-celebrated
pop star back on top."
--EW


"Against all odds, Spears' album is her best. On 'Blackout,'
Britney emerges confident, sensual and in control... Listening
to “Blackout” is not only an energetic release, it’s also a relief:
No, Spears hasn’t completely lost it, and yes, her career has a
flicker of fire left --- actually much, much more."
--MSNBC


"...the CD shows that, overall, Spears still has sparks in the recording
studio."
--US Magazine


"One element that makes this clearly a Britney Spears
album is the presence of a scattering of irresistible individual
songs that are catchy enough to stick in the head like a wad of
tasty bubblegum."
--About.com

"Britney Spears, "Blackout" (Jive Records): Just when it seemed
safe to write off Britney Spears as a punch line only capable of
entertaining people through tabloid escapades, she goes and gets
all musically relevant on us."
--AP.org

"...the singer's first in four years, contains flashes of the zippy pop
and propulsive dance beats Brit fans treasure..."
--New York Daily News


"She is first and foremost a pop star. In a life not exactly saturated
with joy, she should take a certain amount of pleasure in the fact that
Blackout coheres far better than sprawling recent sets by her fellow
Mickey Mouse Club alumni Justin Timberlake and Christina Aguilera."
--TimesOnline.co.uk


"Britney Spears hasn't been able to lose the paparazzi in recent months,
but she does joyously lose herself in music on her new Blackout."
--USA Today

Current 'Blackout' chart positions around the world:
Germany: #2
Ireland: #1

Everybody

Here are three finalized bonus tracks that will appear on
Britney's new album Blackout, in the Japanese

but I'm not sure. Make Sure to buy Blackout!!!!

Update... Finally!

Update
Finally you guys, after ONE WEEK, I finally am able to update
today. I want to apologize for not updating this whole week,

that just means that you enjoy my blog :) Also, I want to let you guys
know, for those who are confused, I AM NOT a chik, I'm a guy.
You might have thought I was a girl because I love Britney, or might
think I'm gay because I like her, but I'm not. Britney has many
straight guy fans that love her :) And, I'm not trying to diss any of her gay
fans because I respect them ;)

Britney Spears News
I won't post any recent Britney news because a lot has happened
during this week with her career, and her custody battle, and that
will take a lot to post. I really do want to post everything, but I can't.
Hopefully, you already know everything that has happened so far ;)

The Onyx Hotel Tour
I will be posting the repost, hopefully, by Tuesday. Why Tuesday?
Because Britney's new album Blackout is released that day in
the U.S. I'm already getting ready to buy 2 cds at the store, and
1 in iTunes. Anyways, I'll try to post it on Tuesday, but if I don't,
I will post it this week. Like I said, I'll post a different tour
every week!!

Have you ever heard of someone who doesn't like chocolate? If there is someone who doesn't like chocolate, maybe he has allergy to chocolate. People love chocolate because of sweetness, can make them feel good, and can lower blood pressure. So, there is no reason for you to not include chocolate in your cake. You can make a wedding cake with 100% chocolate or mix it with milk, cheese, fruits, etc.

Blackout ~ Official Commercial

I'm sure you guys have already seen this commercial by now,

but if you haven't, then here's the OFFICIAL commercial for

Britney's new album, Blackout :)

Fan-Made Cover

Kodie sent me this awesome cover, and he also wrote this:

...
It makes her appear very vunerable, but of course,
wouldn't anyone be in her situation? The rebirth of Britney
has begun, and it pains me so much to see that people are
still determined to see her fail, and if her album flops, she
runs around L.A naked and is spotted sniffing god-knows-what,
I'll always love her for trying :D

I believe all real Britney fans feel that way.
Real Fans will ALWAYS support and love her :)
