Seriously doubt it. Betcha she easily triples what Musicology sells in a year in just two months. Well have to wait and see. Does anyone have the numbers of what Britney's album sold in it's first two months? | |

That is Billboard's list. Only RIAA certifications involve units shipped, not over-the-counter sales. 
Problem is, many albums are over- or under-certified. Madonna's "Music", for instance, has actually sold almost 4 million copies in the US but is only certified double platinum. It's up to the record label or artist to apply for certification. [This message was edited Tue May 25 15:20:56 2004 by VoicesCarry] | |

Unless you got access to the Soundscan database (have to be an industry person for that), you're pretty much out of luck. Though some fans keep running tallies as best they can for at least the first few months of release. | |

Britney sells "music" by stripping(i don't think that her so-called music should be considered music, its an insult to true musicians). Prince, Stevie Wonder, Tower of Power, and similar artists sell music because they have TALENT.
Just something for yal to think about. | |

She can't sing, the only thing she can do is dance and show skin - isn't she already signed up to do Playboy? | |

Just something for yal to think about. regardless of whether you like britney or not, you shouldn't narrow you're definition of "music" so much. if you were in the 50's, you wouldn't consider anything to be music since most performers had studio musicians and songwriters working on their music. | |

Yeah, but 99.9% of THOSE "performers" could actually sing. Unlike Britney. As far as I can see she does have a talent for wearing PVC hot pants, though.

[This message was edited Fri Jun 4 10:46:19 2004 by VoicesCarry] you know, that IS her singing in the studio. just because she doesn't sing live...please, i wanna see ANYBODY, SOMEBODY get up and dance like that AND sing. MJ never did...janet never did...madonna never did. now, yeah, these people sing on some songs when they are not dancing much but when janet or michael break their ass on the stage, they are also not singing. even madonna, on various television awards shows (mtv video awards come to mind when she did that AWESOME version of vogue) has lip synced. madonna, herself, has said "sometimes i have to decide if i'm going to be a singer or a dancer" when referencing not being able to do both at the same time. | |

Madonna never did? Call me confused, since she did that on DWT, the Reinvention Tour and oh, just about every tour in which she's sung live (which would be all of them; sure she's sung over backing tracks of certain songs, but not on the last two tours). Michael Jackson, in his earlier tours, did similar. And he and Janet actually sing their ballads live. Britney doesn't even do that. She doesn't sing anything live. Key word in Madonna's quote was "sometimes", not "all the time". Britney's voice sucks. She can sing but she can't sing, know what I mean? Kinda like my 3-year-old cousin. Those studio tracks sound like they've been processed, tone-corrected and tweaked within an inch of their life. But I know you like Britney.

And comparing britney to great artists like jj,madonna,mj,p is an insult... What I think about Britney: She has songs that people enjoy for a few weeks and they get cheesy so easily...She is an average entertainer in my eyes | |

hmmm...the videos i have of the bad tour (live in madison sq. garden) and the dangerous tour (live in bucharest) show him miming whenever there is intense dance...just like janet and britney. whatever, treva. it ain't all that important. i enjoy them all and don't really care one way or the other. its supposed to be entertainment. i think some of y'all take it just a few steps further. | |
