With the likes of Adele and Taylor Swift serving as today‘s mega sellers, it’s easy to forget sales feats scored by ‘Luv The Hurt Away’ singer  Britney Spears.

Welcoming first week sales of 1,319,193 units with 200o’s ‘Oops!…I Did It Again’, Spears- even today- boasts sales that even the likes of Lady GaGa and Rihanna are unlikely to ever see.

Pop phenomenon Britney Spears proved her worth this week as her new single, ‘Hold It Against Me’, broke both airplay and digital sales records.

Following the success of the simultaneous radio/iTunes release of Britney Spears‘ new single ‘Hold It Against Me’, arch rivals Sony Music and Universal Music have teamed up for a revolutionary new release strategy.

It’s been merely 24 hours since Britney Spears‘ new single ‘Hold It Against Me’ premiered, and Britney Mania is already in full effect. With the song sitting comfortably  at #1 on iTunes in 17 countries, and news about her forthcoming project hitting headlines on an hourly basis, what better time than the present for the singer to release a new promotional shot. Check it out above.

Is it me or does this look like an outtake from the ‘In the Zone’ era? Regardless, Ms. Spears would be neither the first nor last diva to rely heavily on Photoshop (see: Mariah Carey).

As you know, it’s not all that often you read about Britney Spears around these sides. However, there’s no denying that the premiere of her ‘comeback’ video ‘Gimme More’ is an event in itself. Made available on iTunes earlier today, I pity anyone who actually paid for this. It’s not as bad of a train wreck as I assumed it would be (see: set pics), but it isn’t good – at all. There is talk that this is only a promo video and the proper vid will debut Monday 8th October on MTV’s TRL. For her sake, I hope it’s true. Then again, the song is already a bonafide hit – currently sitting at #3 on the Billboard Hot 100 and #1 on the Digital chart (all without a video).

In other Britney news, the title of her new album been revealed. The long-awaited CD is called ‘Blackout’ and is still set to hit stores on November 13th – despite Spears’ much-publicised troubles. {Source}

Usher‘s highly anticipated headlining gig of the 2024 Super Bowl Halftime Show on Sunday (February 11) helped the big game run into record books as the most-watched television program in history.

Among the eyes glued to the electrifying showing were the good folks at ‘Rolling Stone’ who were clearly pleased with what they saw.

So much so, they have already updated their ‘greatest Super Bowl Halftime Shows’ list to include the R&B crooner in its higher rankings.
