We Take It Back! Britney Does NOT Have the #1 Album This Week!

Ouch.

Billboard has revised its policies — just this week — allowing an album sold through a single retailer to be on their charts.

This means The Eagles new double-disc — sold only at Walmart — takes the #1 spot away from Britney! The Eagles album sold 711,000 copies, compared to Britney’s 290,000 (projections had been at 350,000). She’ll have the #2 spot this week.

“We know that some retailers will be uncomfortable with this policy, but it was inevitable that Billboard’s charts would ultimately widen the parameters to reflect changes that are unfolding in music distribution,” says Geoff Mayfield, Billboard’s director of charts. “We would have preferred to make this decision earlier, but only became aware within the last 24 hours that Wal-Mart would be willing to share the data for this title with Nielsen SoundScan.”

Ouuuuuuuuuuch.

Nothing is going Britney’s way lately. The world is so cruel. None of this is her fault.

Heh.

Yet one more reason to love the Eagles.

More proof that Walmart is the devil. I still can’t believe she sold that many copies.
