Looks Like Britney’s #1

Congratulations to Britney Spears, whose unique approach to marketing her album will land her the #1 spot on this week’s charts, selling between 325,000 and 350,000 albums this week. Which is a nice consolation prize after she’s basically lost custody of her children. These sales still pale in comparison to her earlier albums, but it was enough to inch out Carrie Underwood for the top position this week. It’s possible she’ll hold the #1 spot for the coming week, too, but then she’ll probably get slammed by Alicia Keys’ Nov 13 release.

So.

Record labels, take note!

It’s not particularly cost-effective to schlep your talent around the country to appear on talk shows and radio when you want to promote an album. No, no. That’s way too much work for way too little result. Instead, just send your client out to get wasted every night in the midst of a heavily publicized child custody battle. That seems to do the trick. Extra points for some manner of umbrella violence.

  • Well, I am sure the albums will make nice Christmas gifts for the people forced, including Britney; to invest their own cash to get this ‘bad-puppy; registered in the music charts, huh?

  • I meant TOXIC gag Christmas gifts.. Like Grandma got run over by a Raindeer, novelty item?! ” I hadn’t much luck proving am so witty, {due to all the toys and items being made in china to be avoided} so I shall give out these silly stocking stuffer type of gifts.

  • Kinda reminds me of George Bush. Certain people FAIL UPWARDS! But the battlefield is littered with young people. Sad shit, yo.

  • Is there some way to track the 350,000 best and brightest this country has to offer, taser them and sterilize them?
