Despite being on the same label, Pop stars Britney Spears and Chris Brown are set for a March chart showdown. The news comes after Spears’ new LP was confirmed to have pushed back by two weeks today.

Full story after the jump…

Initially set to hit stores on March 15th, Spears’ ‘Femme Fatal’ will now arrive in stores on March 29th – according to Billboard.

The new date puts the singer in direct competition with Jive label-mate Chris Brown, who looks set for a comeback with his latest effort ‘F.A.M.E’. Indeed, Brown has been on quite the roll as of late – notching up hits ‘Yeah 3x’ and ‘Deuces’.

However, with ‘Fatal’s’ lead single ‘Hold It Against Me’ being the worldwide smash that it was, insiders predict the 29 year old will take the top spot – by quite a margin.

Sidebar: Despite official reports of a March 29th release date, Brown himself has declared that ‘F.A.M.E’ will still hit stores on March 22nd. Stay tuned.

First of all this isnt a "head to head" challenge, the difference in what kind of sales these artists will bring is almost like what the Yankees bring in to a home baseball game compared to what the Pirates bring in to home game, no comp. Im hearing this was done more for Brown, just so more "customers" will be out maybe they can get some curious buyers for Chris Brown, good luck

when is gaga's album coming out again, wasn't that the 29th also?

Why would Jive release their records the same week? They're on the same label.

Oh well...Either way head-to-head my ass. Britney would/will wipe the floor with him.

Because they know CBrown will flop.

Chris is gonna flop anyways.

He's actually doing extremely well on radio but I don't know if that'll translate into album sales. Probably not.

He's not an album artist. He's too new. Even fucking Rihanna can't sell an album to save her career.

Like Chris Brown is a threat he still probably have his ghetto hoodrat fans buy it I wouldn’t be surprise if he goes top 10 but really like Britney would have a problem going number one.

since when was CB selling 400k a week?

i have a feeling though that Britney is looking at another flop. i know the single is huge but that will be it...mark my words

"Another"?? She has not flopped yet. The closest she came was Blackout and that album is pretty baller.

Before he changed the meaning, it was Forgiving All My Enemies

I hope Chris Brown beats her.

I just want to see a headline that says "Chris Brown Beats Britney Spears"

Is that wrong?

I thought they said it was F**k All My Enemies. LOL

It'll be something else when that day comes and Chris Brown bitch slaps everybody with high sales. And shucks if most of his album sounds like "Dueces" I'd buy it, but something tells me its going to sound more like that awful "Yeah 3x"....nails down a chalkboard to my ears.

Both will flop....

BRITNEY SPEARS DELAYED HEAD WITH CHRIS BROWN?!!! wha???????????????

That album is amazing / the only B album i even like, yes, agreed, but come on, for her standards and at the time of its release it was considered / is still considered a flop in the US. If Madonna had an album do that crappy that young it would have been called a flop too (read: Erotica, Blackout's superior inspiration).

Yeah, I think so, but I also think they wanna use the fake competition to actually boost HIS sales... Britney doesn't need that... Chris does... remember Kanye's 'Graduation' and 50 Cent 'Curtis'... Almost anybody knew Kanye would win, and I think if 'Curtis' would'nt have sold that much if it wasnt for the 50 Cent/Kanye 'competition'...

x 10,0000 Ooooo Mmmmmmm Gggggggg

I'm gonna call it right now... Britney will sell 100k+ in the first week, and Chris will push 30k.

What? No. Brown's last CD was able to do over 100k the first week when he was still being banned from radio, didn't perform anywhere, etc. He'll definitely be able to the same - most likely more this time around since he has increased support.

And as for Britney, 300k+ is a given. Even Blackout did that amount.

I hope Chris moves 200-300K his first week. Why? Because I love it when people who are so certain about certain things are dead wrong. Everyone here thinks the album will flop, but just a year ago everyone thought his career was over and yet here he is with two huge R&B hits and a top 15 pop hit.
