Chart Check: Britney Spears Impacts iTunes UK With ‘Britney Jean’

Published: Monday 4th Nov 2013 by David

Her new single ‘Perfume’ may have left a polarising linger since its unwrapping last night, but today has brought news that confirms its release was just what its supporting album ‘Britney Jean’ was in need of!

Why, you ask?

Full story below…

Now available to pre-order in the United Kingdom, sales of the project have seen it soar to #15 on iTunes‘ UK Top 100 Albums chart…four weeks before its official release.

Currently outperforming Katy Perry‘s ‘Prism’ (#16) and Lady GaGa‘s ‘ARTPOP‘ (#30), the ‘Work B*tch’ fuelled effort can now boast of a Top 20 spot as the aforementioned ‘Work’ sizzles at #6 on the Singles tally, placed one spot beneath GaGa’s well received ‘Dope‘!

Elsewhere, ‘Roses’ performer James Arthur watches his self titled debut album rise to the top, claiming the digital top spot well before the Official Charts roll in this Sunday, while Tinie Tempah‘s sophomore set ‘Demonstration’ occupies the #2 spot, helped in part by his Top Ten effort ‘Children of the Sun’.

    Perfume is Britney’s best single in years.

    You and Samantha can continue to seethe.

  3. Bey Fan November 4, 2013

    #15??? well i guess thats just in pre-orders…. congrats.

    Although Brit sounds good on Perfume… I just dont care for it.

  4. JOHNVIDAL November 4, 2013

    Would be nice if TGJ could offer complete info about the charts cos their posts are a mess when it comes to that:) (sorry guys) They mix all types of charts in the same sentences.
    Is it true that Prism is only at #16 in itunes UK albums right now or are they talking about different charts? Most people are confused cos of these posts.
    I rarely check UK charts since they are ususally a mess (especially when it comes to singles), can somebody tell me how good or bad is Katy doing over there? Where did she debut and all that (talking about album).

    • Selenator November 4, 2013

      Prism went Gold in less than a week in the U.K. She’s doing great.

    • lol November 4, 2013

      54k 1st week
      23k 2nd week

      are her album sales so far in the UK

    • JOHNVIDAL November 4, 2013

      Ok thanks for the info guys.
      Good but not too strong then. If I´m not mistaken Gaga, Beyonce or Rihanna do over 100,000 copies first week over there.

      • Molly November 4, 2013

        F*** Rihanna Gaga & Beyonce Katy slays them all. She’s the new Queen of pop .

      • Molly November 4, 2013

        Katy & Cici>> Beyloose 😉

      • SLAY_HIVE November 4, 2013

        of course you would “think” that

      • Molly November 4, 2013

        Both make better music and that’s a fact. Beyonce music is Beyond lackluster.

      • DOSSOME November 4, 2013

        How 2 different usernames post the exact same comment defeats me

      • ABC November 4, 2013

        @Molly no its not fact, its an opinion darling.

  5. SLAY_HIVE November 4, 2013

    *yawns* Britney just retire, sweety

    • Sarah November 4, 2013

      LMAO PRESSED MUCH ? that she is slaying without even promoting beyonce wishes she has that power 15 years of the game and u all haters still doubt her

      • SLAY_HIVE November 4, 2013

        b**** what is she slaying exactly? and what is your definition of pressed? kii

      • GAGARULES November 4, 2013

        #15 IS SLAYING? LMAO

        DOPE IS #1. THAT’S SLAYING. #15 IS FLOPPING LOL

    • DO SOMETHIN’ November 4, 2013

      NOPE, SHE DOESN’T HAVE TO. EVEN IF SHE RETIRES, BEYONCE SHOULD WORK SO MUCH HARDER TO CATCH UP HER ALBUM SALES/IMPACT BECAUSE SHE’S NOTHING BUT A SINGLES ARTIST.

      • SLAY_HIVE November 4, 2013

        LOL you dont even believe that…Beyonce has outsold EVERY s****** album since her solo debut in 2003! just like 4 outsold femme fatale (had a #1 single).. Beyonce is a superstar in 2013! Britney is a non-factor. Wake Up boo kii

    • Molly November 4, 2013

      Beyonce needs to retire.

      • SLAY_HIVE November 4, 2013

        So does your fave Cierror. the mf irony, at least Gags Brit and Beyonce can reach gold FOH. your opinion is shxt to me.. BYE

      • Molly November 4, 2013

        Last time I checked Ciara did reach gold this year, While Beyonce somewhere on tour to scared to release anything NEW cause she knows it will flop,We all know this will be Beyonce last CD after that she’ll retire.

      • SLAY_HIVE November 4, 2013

        kiii dummy i’m talking about ALBUM sells! Beyonce is on tour OUTGROSSING girls with NEW ALBUMS and SINGLES! When is Cierror’s tour? Can she tour?

        Beyonce will release when she is ready, you’re not in her head or apart of her team. keep your delusional assumptions..k 😉

        SN: This should be Cierror’s last album. What an embarrassment to have FOUR FLOPS in a row! FOH

      • Molly November 4, 2013

        Not when she’s giving out tickets on Stub hub sis lmao she probably selling the tickets for half price you know like she did her songs on iTunes lmao Ciara has a wedding to plan The tour will come before beyshit finally decides to drop her s***** 5th album just know that dark skin A*** having ghetto s***.

      • ABC November 4, 2013

        Honey, stub hub takes everyones tickets. You wouldnt know though since Ciara doesnt have a tour.

      • Molly November 4, 2013

        @ABC Dont you stan for IndustryPussyhanna? Tell that b**** to step her game up and maybe someone might put a ring on it.

      • ABC November 4, 2013

        I dont stan for her. Thats another person.

      • SLAY_HIVE November 4, 2013

        DEATHHH @ “Ciara has a wedding to plan”

        She can afford to make time for that because her career is in the pits!

        Beyonce is able to tour and remain more popular without the aid of a new single or album..Can cierror?… apparently not

        When will Cierror ever had tickets for sell at any price on stub hub? doesnt she have an album out? #shade

        Neither am i dark skin or ghetto like you and your loose puss crackhead mother

      • Molly November 4, 2013

        Ima Red Bone sis #HateOnIt black trash.

    • Lovebird (Britney Jean – 03.12.13) November 4, 2013

      Where’s Beyonce’s single though?

      • SLAY_HIVE November 4, 2013

        LOL you still asking the same question…is that suppose to be shade? The single will come when it comes.. patience is the key 😉

      • Lovebird (Britney Jean – 03.12.13) November 4, 2013

        Meaning it’ll never come. Britney is confident in her craft, Beyonce is not which is why there’s no single.

        Until Beyonce releases her next flop, your opinion on artists music which is out is pointless.

      • SLAY_HIVE November 4, 2013

        Can you provide receipts of Beyonce “not being confident” in her craft? Not here for assumptions you haters make up in your head!

        It’s a reason Beyonce is still around and highly anticipated after 15+ years! I will have an opinion on anything i choose!

        speaking of Flops, how is prism and flop b**** doing?? 🙂

      • Molly November 4, 2013

        Lmao the excuses H-I-V doesn’t even know when that future flop single will drop.

      • ABC November 4, 2013

        Ciara stan talking about flop singles? Do you shade yourself on purpose?

      • Molly November 4, 2013

        Last time I checked Ciara had the biggest r&b single of the year it didn’t struggle like Dance for you, Countdown And Run the world

      • ABC November 4, 2013

        Biggest r&b single? According to what chart? And Beyonce flop singles outsell majority of Cierrors singles.

      • SLAY_HIVE November 4, 2013

        and neither did it top the R&B charts like Love on Top for seven weeks. Body parts peaked at number 6 and number 22 on Billboard 100.. i love how you mention every single but Love on top, and BTINH which is platinum

      • Lovebird (Britney Jean – 03.12.13) November 4, 2013

        But where is that single? You keep talking s*** about artists who actually have music out when your fav is in limbo.

        When she releases that future flop, then maybe you might have an opinion.

    • WORKBISH November 4, 2013

      You mad? Where is that man who you stan for single? After she released flop down then flopping on the sun no more huh? Have several boo

      • ABC November 4, 2013

        What man? And dead @ you not knowing the definition of ‘releasing’ a single.

      • SLAY_HIVE November 4, 2013

        sweety she didnt “release” anything. get that part correct. what itunes release date or official single release date did those songs get?

        What happened to Flop Bxtch?? it came and vanished
        QUICK

    • WORKBISH November 4, 2013

      You know exactly who the F i’m talking about. How many times are we going to hear the same tired “Buzz” single ish from her? She released them nobody liked the tired songs so she had to try again

      • Molly November 4, 2013

        3 buzz singles and non of them caught on kiiii :-/

      • ABC November 4, 2013

        @workbizz and why is it your concern? Get back to purchasing flop b****.

      • ABC November 4, 2013

        @trolly speaking of not catching on.. where is Im out (of the charts)

    • WORKBISH November 4, 2013

      @ABC Already did bish. AND PURCHASED PERFUME WHICH SEEMS TO BE SLAYING AT THE PRESENT MOMENT. DISMISSED……….

      • ABC November 4, 2013

        Why is it flopping?

      • WORKBISH November 4, 2013

        @abc Why did run the world girls, end of time, dance for you, standing on the sun, and bow down flop? i’ll wait?

      • ABC November 4, 2013

        It doesnt get much more pop than WB though. How did SOTS and BD flop when they were never available to purchase TO chart. Pea brain.

      • Lovebird (Britney Jean – 03.12.13) November 4, 2013

        Didn’t Beyonce perform run the flop on every stage with a camera in sight and it still flopped?

      • ABC November 4, 2013

        And didnt s****** have #1 on FATelle and Beyonce still outsold her with RTW as a lead single?

  6. Sarah November 4, 2013

  13. Lovebird (Britney Jean – 03.12.13) November 4, 2013

    Perfume is a fantastic song, her vocals on it were fantastic, she has shown growth.

    Britney Jean will also be a fantastic album, I have a feeling this is her Ray of Light moment.

    Britney is Pop royalty, she’s not going anywhere. She’s fantastic, has been through a lot and is bouncing back. Plus she has inspired an entire generation.

    • WORKBISH November 4, 2013

      Lets talk about how Britney Jean is outselling Artpop on ITunes!!

    9 out of the 15yrs she’s been out she’s been artistically dead…ALL she can do is chart..If Xtina,Bey or Alicia Keys were held to the ridiculously low standards Britney is held,they would have diamond albums as well…Anyway let’s procrastinate the inevitable funeral of an artist that has been dead for almost a decade

    • Lovebird (Britney Jean – 03.12.13) November 4, 2013

      Wait a minute, aren’t you one of those people who like Applause and Donatella or whatever repetitive junk Gaga has released this year?

    MORE MESS from Caca’s camp, I CANNOT AT HER ARROGANCE.

    **LADY GAGA FIRES LONGTIME MANAGER**

    Lady Gaga’s romance with Taylor Kinney may not be over, but her relationship with longtime manager Troy Carter has ended. Multiple sources confirm to Us Weekly that the 27-year-old singer and 40-year-old music manager have parted ways due to “creative differences.”

    “It’s sad but also liberating at the same time,” a source close to both tells Us of the split. “One door closes and another opens.” Carter helped launch the pop star’s career after signing her in 2007. In 2011, he received an Emmy Award nomination for Outstanding Variety, Music or Comedy Special for his work on the HBO special Lady Gaga Presents the Monster Ball Tour: At Madison Square Garden.

    Though she appeared to be happily in love backstage, Gaga gave a bizarre, tearful performance of her latest single “Dope” onstage. The Los Angeles Times called the singer’s 3-minute act on the live-streamed show “deeply strange and out-of-tune.” Gaga performed in a flannel shirt, no shoes and fake, decaying teeth while silently crying. The L.A. Times reports that more than 4,000 viewers exited out of their browsers during the singer’s performance.

    • Mark111 November 4, 2013

      I recall her being on Ellen at the start (and hype) of her career and Ellen told her to stay and keep the people you with, cause you all have something special. That may be why she’s failing right now. Kinda like when Bey parted ways with her father. Say what ya want. but Matt had connections. Also like Ciara and Jazzy.

    There is something about Britney that keeps people interested and no matter what anyone says, her album will spawn hit singles and her Vegas show will bring in the money. She is an American legend and has more hits than anyone else people stan for today.

    I dont think its fair to compare her to Katy, Rihanna, Gaga, or the rest of the chicks out today because Britney came FIRST and she is still snatching wigs on the daily. She is the queen and even on her posts, she gathers the most comments to this day (scroll up). People are, have been, and will continue to be obsessed with Britney Spears. That is a fact.
