Oops…she did it again. Sadly, “it” – in this case – is missing the top spot of the Billboard 200.
As reported here, pop princess Britney Spears’ newest album, ‘Glory,’ was blocked from the top spot of the album charts thanks to legendary diva Barbra Streisand and country group Florida Georgia Line. Landing at #3, the set – kicked off by the G-Eazy-assisted ‘Make Me,’ ‘Clumsy,’ ‘Private Show,’ and more – spurred surprising critical acclaim from industry insiders and fans alike (unlike its 2013 predecessor ‘Britney Jean’). Said acclaim, however, wasn’t exactly matched on the commercial front.
With predictions suggesting the project would shift 100,000-120,000 units, Hits Daily Double reported the final tally to be closer to the 115k mark. Billboard disagrees.
Curious to know the official figure Billboard is reporting? Tuck in below to find out:
111,000
Pop diva Britney Spears collects her 10th top five Billboard 200 album, as her latest studio effort, Glory, enters at No. 3 (111,000 units; 88,000 in traditional album sales). Spears’ last studio set, 2013’s Britney Jean, debuted and peaked at No. 4 with 107,000 sold…

Lol
What’s so funny? Britney has a remarkable career. Sure, she isn’t selling like she used to but that’s the case for a lot of artist. Not many dominate like Adele or even T Swift, Beyonce and Rihanna. One thing about Britney, she still has sold circles around these girls. She spearheaded a whole movement, there are generation of children replicated her shot to fame. Britney is pop royalty, baby mama and you b****** better respect her impact. It is not her fault she lost her mind.
speak on it!!the truth
Kris you’re right Britney is selling remarkably better than most especially at this point in ha career but that’s the sad part. What did her fans hear to sell 111 first week? I can’t stand adele but it’s no wonder that she almost went diamond cuz she CAN SING. Britney is crap! Why are people supporting ha?! What’s the excuse!
“Impact.” Rolling my motherf*cking eyes.
“It’s not her fault she lost her mind” LMAO
Cue Brit’s crazy a&& stans with every kind of excuse in 3, 2, 1….
Tragic. But ‘Love Me Down’ is a bop though.
Tragic? Coming from a Rihanna stan? LOL What teh hell do you think Rihanna is going to be selling first week when she reaches Britney´s age and has no hit singles? Cause she already does barely more than this first week! 🙂
You talk about Rihanna so much lol
It’s crickets up in this b****! ???
Wow
You’re only as good as your next accomplishment.These Britney stans are ALMOST as messed up in the head as poor Britney.
111 is good and to be honest this album just might scan gold but that’s the sad part. Britney shouldn’t be selling one copy if you ask me. Why is jazmine sullivan selling next to no records but Britney is selling 111 first week at this point like we literally know that she can’t sing. Why are people so see through?! I can’t stand white people.
Bawahahahha!!! Pink, JT and Beyoncé could never!!! G******** will stall at 500k worldwide ?!
She shouldn’t have sold this much tbh I don’t get it.
I think Pink and Eminem and Beyoncé are the only ones left from this era that can actually still sell.
Nope and Justin too. She didn’t have a hit so these numbers are decent. Y’all already reported this. Stop hating.
She didn’t have a hit, thus she’s a big old flop. We know. Nothing is decent.
I thought “Make Me” was the pop/urban smash that was gonna “change the game” & put her back on the map? Lol ???
@beystan the only thing this album put on the map is a s*** stain.
Tragic old Sh!tney Smears and her delusional ancient gay stanbase. lulz
Lol only white gays support this mess. Black gays/gays of color support actual artists.
If you wanna know how to from selling over 30 million on your debut album only to sell 111k & be outsold by old heads like Barbra Streisand just follow Britney Spears!
Glory Hole is slaying… My fav could never lol ????
Lol not glory hole please no
Wow
Lol someone called her s****** smears. But anyway so where’s all those stans that claim they love female rap? I don’t see none of you f*** on that dej loaf post. There’s literally no comments but yall hate on nicki all day so what’s up? Where yall at? What’s yall excuse? Yall love female hip hop so much but you ain’t showing no love in the dej loaf post or for that matter you’re not on any other post with rappers on it. Cuz you’re pieces of s*** that’s why. LOL
Shut up s********!
Lick my d*** and I will.
The fact that Janet’s album sold more than Britney ?
It says a lot right? I love seeing a white b**** fail.
Racist.
Racism doesn’t exist for white people. Try as you may but you can not and have not ever been affected by a system that was literally created to keep YOU at an advantage over people of color in America.
And where’s the album now? She got outsold by Barbra too.
Why is that a surprise? Janet is a Legend. Britney is her carbon copy.
Are yall really that surprised? This b**** can’t sing. I’m not talking about the rihanna type of can’t sing I’m talking about she literally DOES NOT SING EVER like not even during karaoke. It’s a wonder that she even sold two copies worldwide but hey this is the standard of white people. They will but into anything. If Britney was black she wouldn’t have made it two days in this industry mouthing off lyrics blatantly taking people’s money.
Buy into**** anything
Hmmm…She needs to work harder. Improve your performing skill, go for vocal training etc, if you want better sales. And yassss at Barbra selling more than all other legend that released their albums recently. Especially those going diamond in the 90s with 9 or above number one (mostly forgotten) singles.
Have a seat and don’t forget that your fave will never achieve as many #1 albums as Barbara neither.
And dead at Barbra debuted number one in Australia, UK and US while some other current popstar fail to do it, and yet Beyoncé and Barbra is local while Janet,Rihanna, Britney, Gaga, are GLOBAL SUPERSTAR.
Oh stop it. We all know Barbara’s album isn’t even going to reach 500K WW so just stop it. All those ladies are GLOBAL superstars whether you like it or not. Now stop.
@SMH her last album sold 375,000 in UK and nearly if not already 1,000,000 in US. Do you still doubt her? Its Barbra we’re talking about, her fans DONT STREAM aka bought her albums for free.
LMAO BARBARA OUTSOLD YOUR BUG QUEEN TOO. WHY HASN’T KOOLAID HIT 2 MIL WW YET BUG? LMAO
@LOL it outsold Artpop total WW SHIPMENTS in 5 months. And 70 y/o Barbra’s Partners destroyed ur fav last album too.
Britney Spears has a lot of good tunes. Keep doing your thing Britney.
No shade but Britney is talent-less. It is what it is…
What happ to your twitter ma?
She’s in Tamar, K. Michelle territory with these numbers…and they are R&B acts! Yikes. No shade Bc I like Britney but the facts are the facts.
But Beyonce stays getting outsold by real album sellers like Adele/Taylor. So nothing there. Stop being ignorant & interjecting race into everything. Jazmine, while talented, isn’t mainstream. She doesn’t have a mainstream sound nor voice. She’s great. But that’s that. A song can be great but not perform well. That doesn’t take away from the quality of a record. Tamar’s last record sold 33k and K Michelle’s sold 55k. She outsold both. Y’all are ignorant. Most of y’all only care about sales. Yet, your favorite artist hasn’t ever had an album sale over 5 million copies in the US, yet, they’re such huge artists lol..
Tragic, but then again, as a pop star she’s not longer interesting.
Not as tragic as your stance on race topics you indolent maggot.
You’re on to talk. You’re actually the biggest racist on here, yet have the audacity to point fingers. SB is a bigot, and so are you. Both of have that in common. Hypocrites and their hypocrisy.
Shut yo punk ass up. No one is a bigot. I’m a truth teller and I rarely include my opinion in what I say. I don’t like the majority of white people and I have good reason considering the majority of you don’t care about anything unless you think it affects you as well as refusing to learn. That isn’t racism. If anything is prejudiced. Not all just the majority. The perfect example is you all of a sudden calling me a bigot but I’ve never seen your account calling out s****** blonde or any other idiot in these posts. To be honest I think you’re s****** blonde under another account. Get some receipts or get lost h**. Racism doesn’t exist for white people and it never has cuz if it did then the constitution wouldn’t have been written excluding people of colour and women as well. F*** off.
Whatever, idiot. I obviously touched a nerve, and that could only happen if what I said is true. You’re no “truth teller,” you’re a hyper-emotional, attention-seeking loud mouth with a racial complex and an ax to grind. You traipse from article comments section to article comments section, spewing tired, juvenile racial rhetoric that would make real “woke” activists roll their eyes at your callowness. I’m sorry that someone f***** with your head as a child so bad that left you shell-shocked and unstable, that you now need to use the comments section of a music blog to extol your pent up frustrations. That’s gotta be tough. But miss me with your paltry defense and ridiculous commentary. Like I said before, SB is a bigot and so are you. You may not like hearing this, but since you claim to be such a proponent of “truth-telling,” you should at least appreciate hearing this verity. You say “F*** off,” I say grow up… and seek help, you need it.
Lol you deflected everything in an attempt to read me. Like I said WHITE PEOPLE can’t be affected by racism and now I’m bitter and something about my childhood is affected? What? This is why white people annoy me. You’re trying to be right and prove me wrong rather than listening. Typical white person arguing with a black person thinking you’re some type of hero. I bet you really think you told me huh? Go take an African American studies class then holler at me when you’re done. Bye.
Britney Living Legend Spears doesn’t care about album sales lol….shes booked! That’s the point of an album . To get people to your concerts/shows. Britney cares about the money & she has plenty. After she shot the the make me video they had to pay her because of the ads/product placement.
LOL are you serious? If she didn’t care about album sales, she wouldn’t have made this album. She took advance money from a record label to put this junk on the market, and will be in debt to them until it’s all recouped. Stans kill me pretending that artists don’t care about sales, when it becomes obvious that their new album is not going to sell well. As if this is all recreational for them, and there isn’t any business involved. She absolutely *does* care about album sales. It’s kind of her JOB to sell records for her label.
When your an artist your main and only responsibility is to make great music, the rest is down to labels , marketing and sometimes it’s just down to someone else being the flavour of the moment so radio don’t wanna support you. I don’t think any artist has an ego enough to believe every album will be no.1 in it’s first week, Celine Dione wants said “I don’t want hits, I want a career”. Britney has some stella albums, music videos and tours under her belt, Glory is a project she should be very proud of and especially at this stage I think she would rather have the freedom to make the kind of music she wants to make again then a place on the top spot! There’s nothing better than fans and critics giving you praise and Glory is Glorious!
“Celine Dione wants said that…” ???
111kney.
Without a hit record, gimmick suprise release & limited music retailer promotions this is amazing. I remember a lot of people saying she’d be selling 40k and when she sell almost 3 times of that they still call her a flop?! We can never win! Praise her for not having an Born This Way to ARTPOOP decline.
Carpool, VMA and many more that I cannot list down are not promotions? Her promo this era probably more than Lem and BEYONCÉ era combined. ST sold 1.3 Mil in 3 weeks, outsold Blackout in healthier sales climate, without promotion AT ALL.
LMAO BUT THE REAL KII IS THAT JAY Z’S HOOKER STILL HASN’T OUTSOLD BRIT IN ALMOST 20 YEARS LMAO. HELL SHE STILL HASN’T EVEN OUTSOLD XTINA’S TOTAL ALBUM SALES LMAO.
Yussss, tell dem!
Congratulations to Britney
The world of 2016 has no use for Britney Spears. She’s dated and we see just how ridiculous and silly she is. All she did was play to little girls during her prime, well now those girls are grown and have better things to spend THEIR money (as opposed to their parents money, like back in ’99-’00) on than her childish music.
I think these are great numbers considering this album doesn’t have an identifiable hit. Albums just aren’t selling that well anymore.
I keep thinking these aren´t bad numbers. It is similar to what everybody not in their peaks sell (most of them) nowadays and without hit singles to support the album. Most of you are hypocrites who are waiting on people to fail. I have always said Britney has no talent for music, her talent was dancing and performing and having some it factor years ago and that wa sit. BUT some of you would be stanning for her if she were still debuting with 400k first week for example. But of course now you call her all types of things.
ps: I have to say I thought she was doing the same numbers as her previous album but actually she did like 20k copies less on pure sales. Anyway taking into account the constant decline in sales we could say she did pretty much the same as she did with her previous one.
This very very good numbers cuz I’m secretly even praying my fave Brandy can make such numbers considering the current climate of the music scene. Well done !!!!!????????????????
