Britney Spears may be enjoying some success in the US with her ‘Femme Fatale’ LP, however it appears the singer is not so Lucky when it comes to the UK market.
Full story below…
Having debuted with one of the lowest first week tally’s of Spears’ career, ‘Fatale’ seems to be in relative free-fall on this side of the pond.
Arriving at #8 on the Official Top 40 UK Album Chart last week, the album, Spears’ 7th, dropped a whopping 8 places to #16 in its second week.
With all signs pointing to the 29 year old focussing on North America with this project (see: promotion and tour), the record’s tanking in other territories arguably matters less than it would had she plugged it there.
However, given Ms. Spears’ superstar status, as well the controversy surrounding her full stop (see: lip-synching, stiff dancing, body doubles), it makes it difficult to read her chart predicament as anything other than a disaster.
Oh Britney, Britney.
Still, with a Rihanna ‘S&M’ collabo on the way, ‘Fatale’s fortunes may very well change. Saying that, Ms. Fenty has difficulty shifting albums herself, so maybe not. Time will tell…
ummm Sam leave her alone..
those ppl in the uk aint dumb. they not bout to pay for a non dancing, non singing, non performing h**. they say “we already got rihanna why would we pay to hear another lazy h**”
It definitely a FLOP ! FLOP ! FLOP
@chole..they already did…Loud tour is sold out there…..in the US..not so much. we would give rir 10 dollars but not 80 lol
go check it out!
S&M is available and it sound GREAT!
WTF?
Femme Fatale debuted #1 with over than 10 countries.
Only UK went not so good.
So pressed?
S&M Rihanna feat Britney is amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LIKE HELLLLLLLLL!
Love it.
Okay that’s why she needs Rihanna, right?
I don’t like the redheaded shady beeyatch so much but come on, isn’t she too big of a star to step into this mess?
Nicki is a rookie, she needs this kind of exposure but Rih-Rih Vanilli gurl, you should have enrolled your friend Katy instead of Britney. Real talk.
THE MOST TALENTLESS B****** IN THE INDUSTRY IN ONE SONG = #FAIL
S****** RETIRE PLEASE
CAN’T SING, CAN’T DANCE, CAN’T WRITE SONGS, CAN’T PRODUCE SONGS = Britney, R****

@lioness lmfao rihanna wouldnt get a dollar out of me. as a matter of fact my friend asked me would i go see rihanna with her if she bought my ticket and i looked at her like she was crazy. i told that b**** to count me out.. i can find something better to do with my time for 2 hours
Britney is over!This b**** can’t sing or dance. People ain’t supid she sucks and looks like she doesn’t even wanna be there. boo!Flop flopQueen Gaga and Beyonce when their albums drop they will not do such low numbers!#Fact they actually have talent
@MARIAH LAMB / STAN 4 LIFE
You said it all!!! 🙂
S&M s*** all over Telephone.
And Rihanna is just so pressed for a number #1 she didn’t get it
With S&M so now she wants it with the remix*Sips. Tea* let’s these two untalented b****** drop their remix!Cause when the Queen is back…
Albums have the possibility of rebounding. It’s not as bad as Sam is trying to make it seem. He’s doing this fo rmore hits. He knows which artists bring the controversy. Something new now, the Britney/Rihanna bashing is kind of washed up at this point.
Why aren’t y’all mentioning their success on the charts, all these anything a** bloggers wanna do is talk about the negative. Do better. Congratulations to Britney on all of her success, if she steps her performance level back she’ll be good to go.
@Alex Who gives a s*** about that lame ass song, they should have added kesha to the song, that way we would of had 3 of the worst live pop singers out today on 1 song. Those 3 luv making danceable pop records they know will sell and are popular rite know, thats doing good on BB but dont have an inch of talent. Step out bishes and leave that crap along. I will be so glad when THE QUEEN comes back and murder these non talent whores!
Yassss for the S&M Rihmix!!
AT LAST, THIS B**** IS OVER HAHAHA
I HEARD THE CHEAP REMIX
IT SUCKS BIG TIME
FLOPPP
AWFUL
NOTHING ORIGINAL ABOUT THE REMIX VERSION
ONLY S****** Vocals are added
ANYWAY, LIKE WE EXPECTED SOMETHING GOOD
#FLOP
THAT DRAG QUEEN BRITNEY SOUNDS LIKE SHE IS BEING R**** ON THE REMIX
LMAO
Her Album Will Not Blow Up In The UK with A Radio Interview #Duh
This b**** rite her is nothing but a FLOP FLOP FLOP LMFAO and to think some blogger tried to say this b**** was the new MJ, in selling records on name along LMFAO. This w**** should never and i mean never, should be mention next MJ in nothing. Another thing the delusional ass brit fans say, is she is legendary LMFAO. Legends are people like MJ, Whitney Houston, Mariah Carey, Prince, and Tina Turner. These people are legendary for their sales and talent. Britney is only up their, because of sales. She is nowhere near the real legends of music and her ass is nothing but a simply ass pop icon at the most. Who has she influence really but these teeny boppers like kesha with no talent LMFAO. Brit fans and stans, u have been schooled! SO U ARE DISMISSED! GOODDAY!
TGJ against BRIT, why???
Jennifer Lopez retains singles No. 1
Jennifer Lopez has hung on to the UK singles chart top spot for a second week with ‘On The Floor’.
The American Idol judge fought off competition from LMFAO’s ‘Party Rock Anthem’ and Adele’s mega-selling ‘Someone Like You’ to retain the title for another Sunday.
Following behind are climbers in the shape of Katy Perry & Kanye West collaboration ‘E.T.’, up seven to five, and Mann’s 50 Cent remix of ‘Buzzing’, which steps to six from last week’s 11.
Also breaking into the top ten for the first time is Snoop Dogg’s ‘Sweat’, which slides seven places to nine, but former high-flyer ‘S&M’ by Rihanna loses its place in the single digits after stumbling to 12 from nine.
Advancing two apiece this week are Kanye West’s ‘All Of The Lights’ at 15 and Cee Lo Green’s ‘Bright Lights, Bigger City’ at 17, while The Wanted are down four to 18 with ‘Gold Forever’ and a new entry from Chris Brown and Benny Benassi entitled ‘Beautiful People’ lands at 20.
the new album of britney spears femme fatale is the BEST FLOP IN 2011 IN UK
FLOP FLOP FLOP THE BIG FLOP FOR THIS YEAR IN UK
I’d hardly say Rihanna has problems selling albums. Loud is Platinum, Rated R is platinum, i believe GGGB is 3x Platinum? She hasn’t done bad for age 23. Chart positions solely depend on who else is releasing. She could have released the week before or the week after and got #1 instead of #3. Loud debuted with 207,000 copies at #3, but in week 11 it climbed back to #3 with sales of 61,000, so it really does depend on who else is releasing.
it’s all this hate necesary??? STOP BULLYING!!!!
RIHANNA IN USA HAVE A BIG PROBLEMS WITH CONCERT BECAUSE NOBODY CARES FOR HERE IN USA FOR CANCERT SHE HAVE PROBLEM BECAUSE NOBODY BUYING TICETS TO SEE WHAT SHE PORNOSTAR IS RIHANNA AND NOW RIHANA AND BRITNEY BITHCH REMAKE THE S @M REMIX B*******
@ Penelope, please stop lying! Femme Fatale did not debut #1 in ten countries. It debuted #1 only in three countries ; The USA, Australia and Canada.
@ nana yaw brazil and mexico to
When did this site stop being an “urban” site and into a Britney bash fest? It seems like everytime I come here there’s a Britney post every day.
A massive 8 places… Thats not even that much at all.. I could bring up someone else who dropped 17 places in their second week and not even get a mention.
Leave britney alone!
LMFAO@ these delusinals ass fans argueing over where this h** album debuted. Who cares, the w**** still doesnt have talent. She cant sing, she cant dance, she cant write and can barely take care of herself. This b**** seriously needs to *hang it up like a flat screen.* The new album is a S***** FLOP! I bet she wont even sell over 2 million ww.
WHO CARES…. I’M HAPPY THAT THE LORD, JESUS CHRIST SAVED BRITNEY SPEARS FROM A NEAR DEATH EXPERIENCE IN HER LIFE… THANK YOU LORD…. WOW… AT THE PEOPLE BASHING HER…. IT’S ALL GUD…. CUZ UR NEXT…. ALL U NEED IS JESUS CHRIST IN UR LIFE…. THANK THE LORD INSTEAD OF COMMENTING ALLL THE HARSH STUFF…. LOVE YOU BRITNEY SPEARS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Has this blog become a hating site? I thought the purpose of blogging was to give an unbiased fair and unilaterally informative news service. however it seems like Sam has made this a personal opinion platform where his personal opinions are passed on as fact. I think such blogging is what limits this site from becoming one of the premier forefront sites of entertainment media. Thats because this site does not push for a middle ground approach to news. It has become an informative fansite for the few artists that SAM likes. I suppose for those few people that like whoever it is SAM stans for this is a good site
Ok girl can we get an update on Chris Brown’s chart position in the UK?
I find it so funny how selective you are about what “news” your post. F.A.M.E flopping across the globe but no post? PRESSED.
@Gucci and @Brandy
Totally agree. Sam and Trent are way too biased and I still don’t understand why Britney gets as much coverage here as she does. She’s hardly “urban” and Trent and Sam allegedly don’t care for her talent so why is she reported on here all the time? Every day there’s like 4 posts of Britney news with Sam’s same old tired commentary for whatever reason. Its like a weird obsession.
@Gucci GIRL BYE! Thats why Chris Brown sold more in his first week than ur fav, that suppose to be bigger, with all her 9 number ones! B**** BYE! Chris Brown shits all over r****** and who cares if his album isnt doing good in the UK, where he didnt promote. You are just a pressed dumbass stupid b****, that hates on Chris while he say LOOK AT ME NOW, WHILE I SMASH THE BILLBOARD HOT100, WITH A TOP 10 SMASH AND A NUMBER ONE DEBUT BWAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHHAHHaHHAHHAAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAhHaHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAhAhHAHA
Oh wow lmao ^^^^^^
JIVE is a bullsh** label. I don’t like the way they market their artists. I’m not a big fan of Britney but her CD should not be falling after 1 week! She has been in the business for 10-12 yrs, her label should be able to market her better. The media really hyped her return so this is the labels dropped ball IMO!
@ pau—
why shouldn’t britney or any other overhyped and talentless artist be called out for it? there are talented artists on this blog that get shaded so why do you expect britney to get off. not everybody is standin’ for that superstar con game her management and the media are pulling! if you wanna go for the rip off…good for ya!!!
Oh I see @OUCHIE’s dry ass is at it again!
Don’t worry about where a Non-POP artist falls on the POP Charts! Chris Brown is doing just fine! Despite the bullsh** biased as* American media, he managed to pull off something your fav has NEVER, a #1 selling CD On both the Billboard 200 (you know the chart you RiWHORE stans think is so all important) and the Billboard R&B/Hip Hop chart! He also has had the #1 Rap song in LAMN per the Urban chart review inspite not being a RAPPER…LOL!
Don’t worry about Chris he’s fairing quite well. Now on to that noise they call a remixed song, S&M. RiHOG sounds awful as usual! Selling s** cause the b*rch has no talent!
@ i’m a billygoat—
lol! you’re blaming jive for britney’s cd troubles?!! so what if she’s been in show business for 10-12 years? the girl just ain’t deliverin’ the goods. when even more of the public starts catchin’ on to her lame game there’s nothing jive and the media will be able to do to help her.
what would you have jive do differently when there’s no talent to work with? just askin?!
Getting a #1 album is great and all, but if definitely does not equal success. You can have a chart topping first week selling album, then have your album sales be crummy after that. In my opinion, if your album is able to sell 10+ million copies in this era then you are definitely doing something right.
@taylork
Wooo, slow down their sparky! I don’t stan for Britney and really could care less but JIVE sucks major ass as a label! Britney is one of their MAJOR stars! I mentioned how long she has been in the business to stress that she has had a loyal following for years and I don’t think they capitalized on that fact! Don’t get me wrong, that video body double fiasco makes me now look at her “side-ways” but she is a Pop Star! The media tends to be very liberal when it comes to talent and Pop Stars *cough* Ke$ha, Naked Perry, Bieber, etc!!!

@Gucci GIRL BYE! Thats why Chris Brown sold more in his first week than ur fav, that suppose to be bigger, with all her 9 number ones! B**** BYE! Chris Brown shits all over r****** and who cares if his album isnt doing good in the UK, where he didnt promote
******************
The key is WHERE HE HAS NOT PROMOTED! Her stans talk about R****** but i seem to recall at least 6 visits to the UK when she released LOUSY ODD UTTERLY DISEASED last year! She was on every show they had and stayed for weeks. If you have to take up residency in a country to sell a CD, you should have sold 10 million copies by now!
In other news…Super Chin Natalie Nunn and Amber Rose Beef! http://www.theminusones.com/2011/04/natalie-super-chin-nunn-mad-because-wiz-khalifia-hit-it-and-ran/
B**** she ain’t from there so who cares but you ain’t you from there girl when you hitting the charts b**** the states are it you ain’t know
Later on dat b****** called kyle will say beyonce is not huge internationally. So. Of a b****!
Im surprised it even managed to be on the top 10! It’s Brits worst album!!
Nicole Sherzinger’s “killer love” is better yet it dont get it’s deserved attention!!! sigh
Dead at these Chris Brown stans still stanning for first week sales. Ok girl, what do first week sales matter if your album fails to go platinum?
Lady Gaga’s first week was 17k and went on to sell 8 million overall. Your fave was 273k first week but will barely go gold. 3rd week and F.A.M.E only sold 50k. It’s not even on the top 20 on itunes. Your fave will NEVER outsell anyone in overall sales so hang it up.
You better keep stanning for that FIRST WEEK IN THE US ONLY because that’s all you can stan for. But don’t try it before I spill the tea on his worldwide sales boo.
