Britney Spears :: The "Singles Collection" Era

by **franky** » Mon Jan 24, 2011 12:33 pm

UK

As luck would have it, Spears’ single’s release coincided with the UK screening of the Spears tribute episode of Glee. Six songs from the episode, entitled Britney/Brittany pour into the Top 200 this week. There are covers of the Spears hits Toxic (number 40, 7,614 sales), I’m A Slave 4 U (number 97, 3,008 sales), ...Baby One More Time (number 104, 2,776 sales), Me Against The Music (number 110, 2,534 sales) and Stronger (126, 2,092 sales). The only exception is The Only Exception, a cover of Paramore’s 2010 hit, which debuts at number 45 (6,441 sales), while generating enough interest in the original for it to re-emerge at number 52 (5,909 sales). Spears’ compilation The Singles Collection is also resurgent, its sales increasing 466.10% week-on-week to 3,561, enough for it to re-enter the album chart at number 47. That is its highest-chart placing since it debuted at number 38 in December 2009. Its career sales rise to 77,947.

80k units

they should discount and promote this album during the release of a new album to ship more copies to score Gold plaque

The Singles Collection is being sold for just 3 pounds in the UK, so it is heavily discounted.

3 pounds on amazon, but hmv wants 9, idk if it's that cheap in normal stores...
But Singles Collection without Overprotected is irrelevant anyway :evil:

I don't understand some stuff on this album :-?

They remove huge WW hits, but include some flops

Lucky
Overprotected
Do Somethin' (wasn't big but it's from recent work and should be included)
Someday
Break The Ice

There was space for two more songs on the CD but they didn't use it

Instead, they use Born to make you happy, Boys, Not A Girl and Radar :cry:

three pounds is about $5.00 US dollars

The Singles Collection, on the whole, has a stronger tracklisting than GH: MP- save for the omission of "Sometimes" over something like "Radar." And, "Break the Ice" is stronger than "Radar," yet it's missing. BVut, I think it's a prerequestie that "Radar" appear on every release from here on out.

TSC gets ride of the "fat," so to speak, that appeared on GH: MP. Granted, the music on TSC may not be as grand as some others, but it's a decent-enough listen.

Its 3 pounds in HMV, that's where I saw it. The regular white version without the DVD.

Is this the overall album chart or the digital one. I don't expect it to do much but here's hoping it does

by **arab** » Tue Jun 19, 2012 5:50 pm
