Britney on top

Britney Spears

Her new CD, In The Zone, debuted at number one moving 609,000 copies. The only good song from her CD is I Got That Boom Boom featuring the Ying Yang Twins. Who would have thunk Britney Spears and Ying Yang Twins would ever make a record together? Not me.

I though there was a real chance that Michael Jackson would debut number one because of all the coverage he is getting. Instead he landed at number 13 with Number Ones selling 121,000 units.

What surprised me more about the album charts was that G-Unit sold more than Jay-Z. Last week Jay-Z debuted at number 1 selling 463,000 and G-Unit opened at number 3 moving 377,000. This week Jay-Z's sells dropped by nearly 200,000 while G-Unit's sells dipped only by 50,000. So far in 2 weeks Jay-Z has sold a total of 751,000 CDs and G-Unit has sold 704,000. So G-Units decision to release the CD at the same time as Jay-Z was not a bad idea. Posted by yirga at November 26, 2003 01:27 PM
