let's face it! britney is a former "teen queen" britney's record sales have been just so-so since adulthood. you can't truly go from being 'teen queen' to the 'queen of pop' title without still having the major sales to back it up. i don't believe the 100 million sold hype because the numbers don't seem to add up.

beyonce's been around for years and is trampling britney's current record sells. after christina released 'stripped' she was consistently outselling her until her 'bionic' disaster. and she did it even while fighting the 'hate christina campaign'). there's other female artists who have been relevant for 10 years and they outsell britney but don't get hyped (pink for one). britney had been dethroned way before lgg.

don't forget lgg's crushing sales were made in THREE DAYS, not a week! haven't heard the weekly sales yet.

someone asked if 5 weeks in the top ten is impressive. NO! not for an alledged 'queen'!!

some of you may think hiam is a better song than btw. my opinion is NOT BY A LONG SHOT! britney's dull dragging voice tone in the opening is...gag! the lyrics are lame beyond words and the song's arrangement and delivery is just horrid overall.

britney's opening sales are record breaking due to hype and then fall like a rock. that's the only reason gaga's compared to her. the media has already dropped focus on 'taylor swift's' million album sales in a week and she did it during a mean lean economy and the age of illegal downloading. the same can be said for gaga selling 15 million sales of 'fame'. britney's sales were during times of prosperity. so back off!
