Britney Spears Hits UK #1 With ‘Scream & Shout’

Published: Monday 14th Jan 2013 by David

Britney Spears has done it again!

After being enlisted to help Will.I.am‘s ‘Scream & Shout‘ push noteworthy digits, the ‘The Hook Up’ singer has taken the cut to top of British charts- after a steady reign on the nation’s R&B tally.

Details below…

Outselling Rihanna‘s ‘Diamonds’, Nicki Minaj‘s ‘Va Va Voom‘ , ‘Scream’ hit #1 last night after five weeks on the chart- selling more units than Taylor Swift‘s monster smash, ‘I Knew You Were Trouble‘, which resides at #2.

Marking her 6th #1 in the nation, the song’s meteoric rise to the top precedes the release of her 8th studio album which fans can reportedly expect this year, serving as the follow up to 2011’s ‘Femme Fatale‘.

        This is great especially when you consider how
        many times many have tried to talk Britney and the
        likes of Britney Down., from their Career climd when Britney Got Diamond Certiifices and had sold more Music by the age of 20 then many twice her age.

    • Scars January 14, 2013

      Shut up h**

    • irene46 January 14, 2013

      labels are constantly accused of jacking up the number of the artists record sales (mj 1 billion record sells). if true, britney’s label is no different.

      • blue January 14, 2013

        the by your theory every artist jacks up their sales and so her 100 mill still hold up

      • irene46 January 14, 2013

        labels over blowing album numbers is not just my theory. several sources make the claim. how does that hold up the claim britney sold 100 million? it depends on the size of the lie. it’s a bunch of pr bs for public consumption and no knows the real numbers.

        btw, britney’s overall sales have grown from 75 million to 100 million while christina’s shriveled from 50 million to 30 million.

      • Britney rules January 15, 2013

        Irene don’t be insecure.. Britney took the world by storm of course she has sold over 100 millions albums… Her first album has sold 30 millions and sophomore 25 millions.. Her total is over 100 millions and when you add the singles it passes 150 millions mark.. It’s official !!!

      • irene46 January 15, 2013

        don’t be gullible! suddenly britney’s first album jumped from 25 million to 30 and her next one went from 20 million to 25 on wikipedia in less than a year.

        many sources say mj’s ‘thriller’ has sold 110 million copies ww and that he’s sold a total of 1 billion (with a ‘b’) records. i’ve always loved mj but even i question the 1 billion claim.

        most people know labels exaggerate for pr purposes and britney’s label is no different.

  3. talk that s*** January 14, 2013

  5. BubblePopElectric January 14, 2013

    Congrats BRIT! Can’t wait for the new album!

  6. JJFan1814 January 14, 2013

    I thought it was just with Rihanna, but That Grape Juice will jump through hoops and go through a hellish “Lord of the Rings Mount Mordor” quest just to undermine someone’s success.

    Congrats Will.I.Am.

    • FentySoSnatched January 14, 2013

      Girl bye! We all know Britney’s the one selling the song. Will’s never had a solo hit before.

      • Mad-On-Her January 14, 2013

        He had a number 1 last year in the UK as well.

      • irene46 January 14, 2013

      to see who’s going to Fade Brit, Brit.

  9. Nichole January 14, 2013

    Only Britney.

    When will your flop faves have a feature that storms the charts?

    • irene46 January 14, 2013

      christina feature on maroon 5’s ‘moves like jagger’ was #1 for 6 weeks on the billboard chart and spent 10 weeks in the top 3. it went #1 in 18 countries and was nominated for a grammy. it’s also one of the largest selling singles in history.

      • Britney rules January 15, 2013

        HAHAHAHAHAHA what???? That’s because of Maroon 5 u loser.. Nobody cares Floptina AS USUAL (Like her lame VMA kiss etc) Floptina has ZERO effect. That’s why her last singles are all flop!!!! Britney’s Womanizer,3,Hold It Against Me are all went to No.1 !! Even her meltdown single Gimme More was No.3 in the USA/UK Piece of me #2 in the UK etc… Go and f***k yourself you loser !!!!

      • Britney rules January 15, 2013

        Britney fans promoted the single like a Britney song and William thanked to Britney that it was a dream come true.. Britney’s effect in the video and song is obvious and the song includes IT’S BRITNEY B****… She overshadowed William.. And it is classicifed as a Britney song unlike that LOSER FLOPTINA… William kissed Britney’s ass to get her in the song whereas FLOPTINA sucked Adam’s d*** to join the song u loser!!!! FLOPTINA is desperate..!!!

      • irene46 January 15, 2013

        @ britney rules…

        i won’t climb in the sandbox with you and your filthy mouthed first grade name calling, but i’ll give you some facts.

        the media determines for the gullible who’s relevant and who’s not and it doesn’t have sh!t to do with who’s talented. if it did poor britney would never be heard from again. they’ve had their heads up britney’s ass since 1999 (when she could at least dance) and now they shade christina (the talented one) so britney will shine..

        when christina hit the stage during the ‘kiss vma’s’ the crowd went crazy.but the press was so busy kissing britney’s ass they purposely played down christina. btw, christina’s stage presence and performance spanked your lip synching britney good.

        in spite of the sleazy ‘no one cares about christina’ shaders her album ‘b2b’ placed number one for the highest first week sales of any female in 2006. b2b went double platinum while britney’s ‘blackout’ reached platinum status only after her drones launched a ‘buy blackout’ campaign in july 2011 (4 years after it’s release).

        after christina’s ‘b2b’ mopped up ‘blackout’ and it equaled (or nearly equaled) the sales of ‘circus’ the media shoved their heads further up britney’s behind and haven’t seen the light of day since.

      • irene46 January 15, 2013

        ‘moves like jagger’ was maroon 5’s first #1 since 2007 and their biggest selling single ever.

        will.i.am had a #1 last year. without britney. so ha! ha! that. will.i.am doesn’t need to kiss anything that belongs to britney. if anything she needs some help with ‘femme fatale’ that the suck ups certified platinum when it hadn’t even gone gold.

        and as christina sucking adam’s d*ck unless you were there and saw it, all you’re doing is talkin’ simple.

  10. TAYLOR SWIFTS NUMBER 1 FAN!!! January 14, 2013

    Taylor swift is at number 2!! So chuffed the uk is loving Taylor

    • Scars January 14, 2013

      Trouble is a good song too

  11. Truth (Number 1 Nicki Stan) January 14, 2013

    Grats Britney!

  12. S****** Blonde January 14, 2013

    It’s Britney B****!.

    • irene46 January 14, 2013

      yeah, so!

  13. Kate Middleton January 14, 2013

    i don’t like this song but i like Britney. i watched the video and the whole time i was thinking what is she looking at? she is not looking at the camera even this picture above. maybe she’s looking at a mirror?

  14. Scars January 14, 2013

    Yay britney is #1 in the UK

  15. JOHNVIDAL January 14, 2013

    SAD! I agree with @therealxoxo
    It´s sad when I have to prefer Taylor Swift getting a number 1 than other artist. From what i heard at least she songwrites and attemps to sing live… or does something I don´t know, just something. This is mediocre and people supporting this have to be “kids” who think we are stil in 2001, just cos “she´s Britney” LOL

    • Britney rules January 15, 2013

      Hahah u loser.. I think you must be 12 years old to supprt Taylor etc… Britney Spears is the queen of pop and scream & shout is a smash.. I’m 27 years old and Britney has tons of mature listeners..

      • irene46 January 15, 2013

        age doesn’t necessarily mean someone is mature.

  16. PRINCE MACHIAVEL January 14, 2013

    Don’t Care For The Song, But I’m Happy For Princess Bri-Bri, Goood I Just Love Her, She’s The Sweetest And The Nicest Girl In The Industry!!!!!

  17. Britney rules January 15, 2013

    HANDS DOWN FOR THE QUEEN BRITNEY SPEARS… SHE RULES WHITHOUT ANY PROMOTION LIKE SHE DID WITH WOMANIZER,3,HOLD IT AGAINST ME ETC.

    • irene46 January 15, 2013

      yeah! and what’s more, without any talent!!!
