With Jennifer Lopez currently back in public favour (see: American Idol), the singer is wasting no time capitalising on her re-discovered popularity. For, it has been confirmed that the diva’s much delayed ‘Love?’ LP finally has a definitive release date; one that is closer than sources had first anticipated.
According to Rap-Up, the 41 year old’s album will hit stores on March 29th. The date puts Lopez in direct competition with Britney Spears and her eagerly anticipated ‘Femme Fatale’ LP.
Lopez’s chart duel with Spears’ is notable in that the LP is her first release since departing ways with Epic Records and signing with Def Jam. Why is this of any relevance (?), one may ask. Well, considering that Epic is a subsidiary of Sony Music (to which Spears is signed by way of Jive) and Def Jam a branch of their rivals Universal, a deliberate label agenda emerges.
Put simply, it’s doubtful there is any coincidence in Def Jam dropping Lopez’s debut album (for them) the same day as one of Sony’s biggest releases. Add her vast American Idol audience into the fray, and things really begin to heat up.
It’s been a hot minute, but the charts really do seem to be getting interesting again. Lopez may seem like the underdog, but it’s evident that her team are going to leverage her Idol stint to the advantage of her music career. Hence, don’t be surprised if the project is plugged throughout the series – resulting in solid sales.
May the best album win…

No J.lo don’t do it to yourself!!! ..urghh don say i ddnt warn u!
j.lo will do well but britney will be no.1 that wk cos she’s britney.simple as that
I love jlo buy a chart battle wit Britney is not what she wants. Not only is Brits fan base huge but they are consistent! Who’s damn idea was diss!
FOLLOW ME @princebarbietv
I am tired of all this s***.It’s not always about the chart,it’s about the songs and their albums.
Music is resume to Itunes and Charts updates nowadays.SMH
this is a good risk i think she may not get number 1 but she should do well as long as she does better than her last release then jlo is good 2go
LMFAO This B**** Will Flop Against One Of The Trinitys;)
She Lucky She Ain’t Against Beyonce Because If She Was That Would Be An Embarrassment
xD
#QueenBeyonce2011
why would anyone fuckn approve that?
She might do better than I expected, the hype will definitely give it a little push. Love britney but j.lo is 100 times more fabulous and will dance britney into a coma. Don’t care for either of their singing. J.lo never really had the best selling albums so this can’t hurt her any.
now why j.lo setting herself up.lol
WHO’S GONNA WIN??? DOWNLOADS WILL WIN. Who wanna pay for any of this s***, seriously. The CD HQ version will be up the same day/next day anyway… Yaawn!!
Oh, but Brit Brit will win. J Ho sucks. She jumped the shark long ago. NEXT.
she knows love? is not gonna go #1 so shes doin this to have an excuse that femme fatale didnt let it go #1 … #justsayin
Britney will sell over 500k for sure and considering J.lo’s first week sales for last album, it is a no brainer.
JennyLo, your time has come and (long) go. Be happy with the fact that you has as long a run you did. I’m stil stunned at the fact you landed a job a vocal critic on AI. I’d say that you have used up all of your miracles for this year.
*Mariah-Whitney-Celine-Janet-Madonna*
J.lo’s team is out of their freaking minds, releasing it the same day as Britney, they are setting this album to disaster already, well I could care less, ‘cos I wont be buying neither, Im just waiting for Queen Bee to come and sting all these wannabes.
Is she kidding right? Even though I don’t think much of britney, she can definitely sell records.
Unless her hubby and her put all of their assets into buying her albums, no one will even notice she enters the hot 200.
Y’all say that, but y is the polls on this blog having J.Lo in the league? fair weather fans?
I’m definitely getting J.Lo’s because unlike Brit, Jenny still got it. She’s not just tryna sell off her name, she’s gone bring it to the stage!
LITTLE KIMBERLY DAMNIT!

IF ONE MORE F** BRINGS UP THE FACT THAT SHE’S AN AMERICAN IDOL JUDGE I’M GOING TO SCREAM, DUMB B****** YOU DONT HAVE TO BE A VOCAL POWERHOUSE TO BE A JUDGE, YOU F*** JUDGE RIHANNA’S SINGING ALL THE TIME AND YOU B****** CANT SING A NOTE, SO SHUT THE F*** UP
@ Jayla:
If you refer to people as “f***” one more f****** time, I will kick your ass from wherever the hell you are all the way to Greenwich Village. You feel me?
@DAVE the monsters hate Britney.
Britney will crush her.
A serious joke, and if anyone actually think for a second that J.Lo will be good competition for Britney or her album will do well even if she doesn’t get to #1, is a complete friggin idiot.
Gotta hand it to J.Lo though. At least she didn’t drop one single, and have the album released 3 months later. With the current success of her single, perhaps GaGa should drop her album on March 29th as well.
Ever occurred to anyone that she’s just releasing it just to Release it? I don’t think she cares if she charts. She’s jus having fun and releasing music, u messy folk always wanna see a person fail, evil b******. It ain’t cute
AND WHO IS BRITNEY BTW?????????????? JLO GET IT GIRL!!!!!!!!!!!!
B**** PLEASE, TAKE A SEAT BRIT!!!!!!!!
WTF This is such career s******
LMFAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
*leaves* *restarts microsoft* *turns off computer*
JLO will do great! Fact is that On the floor is so much better than HIAM and Born this way that’s not even funny! I cannot believe that Britney’s and Gaga’s songs are THAT bad… i mean come on! Especially Gaga… it’s a joke… “Madonna called and wants Express Yourself back!!!”
LOL J_LO is a FLOP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ain’t no flop gon’ compete with the QUEEN OF POP!
@the ho ahead of me B**** YOU MAD? Stay mad
i don’t really care i just want the music love them both
Like is this poll for real ?! Lol Britney doesnt even need to promo her s*** and her records still sell like no other. we all know who the best selling female artist of the last decade was ? BRITNEY NOT F***** J.FLOP… NEXT PLZ.
is she crazy ? it’s like ciara deciding to release her album the same day as MJ !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! loooooooooooooooool this b**** is officialy crazy ! gaga & britney are on a whole other level, she just can’t even keep up with them
#FACT
How lame and sneaky! JLO is using American Idol as a platform to promote her OWN music career. They are paying her to judge others, not to promote HERSELF. She’s been there, done that, she’s already experienced the ultimate of fame, but she’s so greedy and self-centered that she’s just got to have all that fame again, and using a show where she is supposed to be helping others, to help HERSELF.
God blessed her with that opportunity once, so nows the time for her to be grateful and make those two kids she had her priority, not chasing FAME again. I’m glad I didn’t have a mother like that. So greedy and ungrateful and can’t even count or appreciate the blessings she once had. She wants MORE AND MORE.
She’s a L’oreal Model, Venus shaver model, American Idol judge, making music videos, an album, a presenter at all the award shows, out on the town with Marc Anthony every other day. She wants publicity, attention, lights and cameras, and has two kids that need her. What did she have those kids for? As a trophy?
Well at least they have their nannies to show them the love and attention the need..
I didn’t even know J. Lo had a single out right now….
I don’t think I’ve heard a J. Lo song in about 10 years, so maybe 2011 is the year of J.Lo’s comeback to musical relevancy? Hmmm…
J.Lo’s AI stint could give her a good amount of exposure, but Britney sells records very well. I’d say Britney’s going to get the #1 with Femme Fatale and get enormous sales like she usually does, but J.Lo will sell better than she has in the past.
Good lucky to her. I’ll be buying Femme Fatale for sure though.
OH GOSH What a TREAT for me….I Will DEF be Buying Both, but Britney is sure to Land the #1 Spot!!
Is J.Lo trying to kill herself off?
As for whos album I’ll be buying, neither. They”re both terrible IMO.
for the stupid b**** asking who’s BRITNEY!!!!!!!!! Do you live under a rock ? Britney is the biggest selling female artist of the 21st CENTURY and the past DECADE! She sold over 100 million records WW, at a time where no one after her will get there! she’s a GRAMMY WINNER! has JFLOP won any GRAMMY? NO. Britney’s last tour made 140 million $! She has a star on Hollywood Walk Of Fame! And is capable to have a #01 debut with ZERO promo and no video! She doesn’t have ONE but TWO CONSECUTIVE DEBUTS!!!!!!!!!!! YEW MAD?
in sales terms
BRITNEY >>>>>>>>>>> any other female in the industry.
its been like that from day 1, as Nicki Minaj said herself “Britney’s untouchable”.
@LEGENDTINA4LIFE
February 12, 2011 at 10:48 p
LMAO and you’re one to speak about “horrible” 😀 Floptina’s last album BIONIC, everyone? LOL
Poor flop is so mad 😀
#BOWTOFEMMEFATALENEY
I don´t care about these two untalented girls but I think maybe it is not that bad for JLo to do this. Britney will sell more for sure but with the hype of the simultaneous release JLo could sell more copies than if she release her album against no competition. One never knows…
HEY SAM ITS SPELLED “FATALE” NOT “FATAL”….
AND THIS CANT BE A SERIOUS QUESTION….LMFAO REALLY???? JLO IS NOT COMPETITION FOR BRITNEY…..BRIT WILL SELL HUGE BUT HOW HUGE DEPENDS ON HOW MUCH PROMO BRITNEY DOES IN THE NEXT MONTH AND A HALF…I EXPECT THE QUEEN B TO START WITH AT LEAST 400K….
ANYWAYS, DEF JAM DOESNT KNOW WHAT THEYRE DOING, JLO WILL NOT BE GETTING A NUMBER 1 DEBUT, SORRY!!!!!
RIP J-HO 🙁
BRITNEY WILL RIP HER WIG
@Wanda..wtf are u talkin about? Britney has 2 kids also…and J.Lo has been basically with her kids lately..those American Idol audition episodes were taped back in the summer/fall..they are not live..American Idol does not go live until March
^ That’s a good point about the competition bringing in more sales for J.Lo. Anything mentioned next to the words ‘Britney Spears’ gets massive attention just on proximity alone.
That will hardly be a battle. Ain’t no buzz around Her No love album.
Could this mean a battle may emerge between Beyonce and Kelly Rowland? Taking into account the label situation. This may be the reason why Rowland is holding off. That would be one for the taken and really help her career and sales. What do you think?
Ok we all know that Britney will be No1 (as usual) but if JLO gets in the top 3 or 4 that is great for her and she actually seems to be back on form too, “On the floor” is a banger and the video looks hot.
And can people PLEASE stop saying Gaga is on a whole other level she is like the JLO of the 90’s, JLO was just as (if not more) successful than Gaga is now and then she flopped multiple times so stop trying to put Gaga on the same level as Britney, Beyonce (even though i dislike her), XTina (even though she had 1 flop) and MADONNA!
These are people who’ve had MANY successful albums which span over a DECADE so just because Gaga has a hit album and has been out like 2 years doesn’t mean she is on their level.
Let me be the 1st to say WHATEVER! I am not feeling Brit’s HIAM but that crap by JHo feat. PittBull is God awful! I don’t understand! Both have had great pop tunes in the past. Why change a successful formula? Anyway, good luck to them although I think Brit’s fanbase will go harder for her!
This is some serious BS!
Breezy,Gaga,Brit,Nicole,Avril,J.Lo! In Mrach? Hahaah
Breezy Will Slay!
B****** if you hate on J-Lo, you are all jealous, But why do you compare 2 different situations ? Jennifer’ situation should not be compared with any artist situation out there, her music direction with Sony was not the right one few years ago, that’s why she was losing her position, now thanks God her song is doing pretty well, the most successful song with no add on airplay and worldwide charts, Just look at Louboutins and OTF, it means she’s bringing it back. Britney is another thing, she must be lucky that she never had a bad direction, like many other artists including her biggest competitor Christina. I know her songs used not to be airplay hits but then radios began to play her songs and we all know why. Then let’s try to make her the best out there of you pretend that cause Gaga already ate her alive thanks to her records and she’ll beat any relevant b**** out there. By the way, all what Jennifer fans want NOW not peaking at #1s and falling like a rock in few days later, when J-Lo used to hit #1s, she was spending WEEKS in them, like what she did with If You Had My Love, I’m real Remixes, Ain’t It Funny remix and All I Have. Plus, she was getting #1s on different charts as the Latin, and /R’n’B and Hip Hop charts, All what we want now is to bring her officially to the game then she’ll be able to compete anyone out there as she used to do, after the bad direction from her company, now it’s working which is something positive for an artist in her situation. Now, let’s back to the subject. She even has the biggest selling hip hop remix album of all time and it is also 4th biggest selling album of all time, and we know Hip Hip is not better than Pop in the sales, pop because it’s about popularity.
Now, the one who said J-Lo can’t sing so why she’s a judge on AI ? I know your f****** ass is mad but she can sing and she was nominated for her voice in biggest awards like Grammy Latin Awards, the reason why her voice is not her biggest peak, cause she’s famous for her dance music that she likes to do most, then does Simon, Randy, Ellen sing anyway ? and the list goes on… You’re just stupid and you know it. If Britney is queen of pop, J-Lo is a true TRIPLE THREAT, fashion icon, business woman as well.
@ claire. Jennifer has no Grammy but as you know she won Billboard Music Awards, American Music Awards and World Music Awards including the legendary award that only the biggest artist win, and awards from different domains, not only music. Britney has one Grammy for what ? a dance song Toxic, she didn’t even dance in that video. Chill out.
And @ some here who compared Ciara to J-Lo and Britney to Micheal Jackson, you know both comparisons are too funny and stupid since you compare an A lister in music, movies and dance with Ciara, and comparing a Britney that records only bitchy and crap songs like that HIAM with a LEGEND artist like Micheal, she didn’t even win a legendary award to be on that level.
I’m not gonna waste time in this thread which contains some stupid remarks from people who don’t even know what to say because of their jealousy inside their mother f****** minds.
JLO’S LOVE GONNA NUMBER 1 BECAUSE ON THE FLOOR BETTER THAN BRITS SONG :)) GO J.LO
I love my multi talented artist J-Lo so much.
the best song for 2011 is on the floor and good hit this year is for s*** mama lopez
Im not sure is it a perfect release date, but if its, definitly im goin to buy it!
iOn the floor its MUCH BETTER THAN HIAM and the Born to copy, ups, i mean Born this way
I’m back to see if anyone still hating, but no one, so I’m not gonna be interested in this thread anymore, since I have many better things to do, I have exams, so I know every single word I said is obviously obvious for everyone, even haters, but the hater in general is known for his delusional and stupid lies that he himself knows about which is funny. Stay pressed and bye forever.
@ GET UP ON THE FLOOR! you’re right, I think it’s too soon for a release date, but I don’t agree with you about Gaga’ new song, me and my mother really love it, but we prefer OTF of course.
i like the album date! and i hope it’s true i want it so soon! J LO IS GONNA WIN
Please Brit gonna annihilate that ass
@ PEJA. If you actually think J.Lo has a chance at winning against Brit, you are seriously delusional. Even in the long run, FF will still sell a lot more and come out on top.
@ Wanda. Are you just now figuring that out? J.Lo’s whole plan was to stage a musical comeback, while using Idol to do so. And with GaGa, Rihanna and Brit taking the Pop world by storm, I really don’t see where J.Lo fits in. Her Latin fan base will purchase ‘Love?” and that’s about it.
I can’t wait for X-Factor US to come through, and shut the show down.
I will say that J.Lo will outperform Britney any day of the week. That’s an arena that she will win hands down.
Plz J.lo can do better then b.s u thnk def jam gonna let j.lo flop plus j.lo album comn out tll may when the show over so she can tour
People Jlo album coming out till may after american idol so sget that bug out of mouth and stop hating they both gonna do great u ythink def-jam going to sign Jlo on board and let her flop plz get real love is gonna blow up the charts plus j.lo is world famous more then britney sorry love u brit but j.lo is my girl she has more .. J.lo u need a younger man u in ur life time to get eye candy..jk love u
hello madonna the queen of pop and no other can take that away ..love j.lo and madonna and brit ..beyonce needs to sit dwn some were all she does is hum
LOVES IT.
JLO will outperform that b**** any day. I went to the circus concert and i was appalled and shocked….thats how bad it was. JLO for the win HATERS
I found it shocking that J.Lo was pulling ahead in the polls. Wow. More power to her.
who is going to buy some 42 yr old mother of two’s album about the clubs when Britney is the other option?
Is not Britney a mother or 2?…
I won’t be buying either album, but good luck to both.
PLZ J.LO IS 42 WITH A BETTER HEAD OVER HER SHOULDERS PLUS THAT BODY SORRY BRIT STILL GOT LOVE FOR U …BUT PEOPLE BUY INTO J.LO FOR HER BEAUTY,FASHIION,THE WAY SHE MOVES,ACTING,SINGING SO TAKE UR KELLY ROWLAND DWN THE HILL HATER!!!!! J.LO 50 MILLION RECORDS SOLD PLUS STILL COUNTING
JLO! I love her! I will buy Britney’s if something better than HIAM appears. I already own HIAM and I CANOT WAIT to own “On the Floor”. It is on replay on YouTube right now. I think JLOP is smart to use AI publicity to promote her music. She is not directly saying, “Buy my album!” so she is being classy about it. Her name is everywhere and it is smart that she is taking advantage of the OPPORTUNITY. Let the haters hate.
@HATERS GONNA HATE didnt read your BIG COMMENT LOL
all i can say is… AMEN!
LMMAO at this. Are you guys slow? JNO is going to flop hard as hell! Nobody is checking for that washed up gimmick! Just because she’s been getting a load of promo and is on American Idol doesn’t mean that she’s going to sell millions. It’s funny how her single was supposed to be sent to radio last week and hasn’t gone anywhere! Where is “On the Floor”….”Good Hit?” No where! I’ve been seeing her on blogs a few times a week, but again, HARDLEY ANYONE CARES! There’s no hype surrounding her and people are bored with her. People are constantly talking about Britney, Gaga, even Beyonce, and Chris Brown! Britney sucks ass but Britney can sell millions without any promo whatsoever while JNo has to go on every day time TV show and radio show in the country for people to know she’s putting out new music. I think this AI plan is going to back fire on her now flat ass! How dare you use the show to get your career back? Honey, it’s not going to work!
@TRUE BLUE
F***!
This deserves to be a #1 hit!!!!
It’s better than Britney & Gaga new singles
rocks J LO
Chris brown lost
as much as i dislike jlo, on the floor is better than HIAM and BTW put together
Love em’ both, will be buying both albums, but have to say Britney will sell way more. Her fanbase is HUGE, seriously. Hope JLo will do good though, she is such a sweetheart. Love Xtina too, can’t wait to see her perform at the Grammys! I HATE GAGA!
have to agree! Britney’s fanbase is unstoppable,, how does Brit do that?! Love Jlo and Brit !
if this is true and jlo outsells britney.. im going to laugh so hard at all these idiots saying this b**** is the queen blah blah NO1 is the queen ok ! Just shut up with your ignorance let people buy what album they want to buy and SHUT UP i am not bowing down to no1 ! so dont tell me to bow down to a queen I DONT THINK SO
LMAO @ ALL THESE QUEENY BRITNEY FANS JUMPING ON JLO’S ASS… WHO F****** CARES ABOUT SALES JENNIFER OWNS S****** IN EVERYTHING
ALL JLO IS GOTTA DO IS PUT ON A SHOW AND BAMB SHE KILLS BRITNEY

A FAIR chart battle would be between Ms. BRITNEY and LADY GAGA..Nobodys buys JLOs albums anymore…come on!!..
Eu adoro a Britney, mas a minha Diva é a JLo <3
definitely JLOOOOOO with LOVE?
2011 the year of jennifer lopez. she will be on top of them all . elia
For all you people hating on JLo and calling her a flop—you are all ignorant!
Take into consideration that she is most definitely not doing this for the money! She loves and appreciates her fans and thats who are ultimately going to be buying her album, she’s giving us a World Tour for god sakes! There is no comparison between them two, personally I like them both, but JLo will tear Britney when it comes to dancing! The video will most likely be released on American Idol, who the f**k cares! This woman has done nothing wrong and people just want to see her fail- but she won’t because fame and fortune have never been her priority! She grew up with a dream and she’s been living it since 1995! Let her and her fans be! If you dont like her, dont buy her album—that’s it! I want to see where GaGa and Britney will be when they’re 41!
J.lo has no chance.. Britney is a super-power and J.Lo is not a threat for Britney. Britney is the biggest star of the decade with over 100 millions sales. Although she does not make any promo she can still sell millions and makes sold out tours coz she’s the queen of pop.
it will be the biggest victory for jennifer lynn lopez britney will not be able to face j lo anymore. and the winner is jennifer lopez . ELIA
