To Anonymous at 1:10.... Blackout barely had promotion. If you compare Britney's other 4 albums to her "Blackout' album... then you would see the difference in album promotion. The only promotion in regards to television and that was actually pertaining to "HER MUSIC" and not "HER PERSONAL LIFE", was the add that Jive released to television about the album coming out. Also the poorly video's Britney did. That was her promotion and the songs that the radio stations played. She didn't go to any late night talk shows, no concerts, no interviews except for that lame interview on Ryan Seacrest. If Britney wasn't going through what she was going through at that time she would have sold more in her first week, she would have surpassed the million mark in sales right now and she would probably be touring right now. Please don't unestimate Britney when she is on her A game. And due to "Blackout" situation WE all know she wasn't on her A game.
