Forget all the Billboard news right now. As angry as I am inside, I'm still glad Britney's Blackout didn't debut at #10 or something. It's funny how people such as US Weekly is calling the album a flop at #2. Anyone else who would've landed that spot just behind legends such as The Eagles, would have been praised.
Of course, as usual, that doesn't apply to Britney in this business.
Anyhow, here's your TO-DO-LIST for this week:
1) BUY the album for your friends, family, co-workers--whoever! It would be a cool Christmas or birthday gift. We need to get this album in it's rightful place at #1.
2) Continue to flood your myspace bulletins, blogs, facebooks, etc. with all the good reviews! Come on--if I could change someone's mind about buying the album, you all can.
3) Play some of Blackout's tracks for your friends. Get them to feel the music until they eventually ask, "Who's singing this, anyways?"
4) What did I say about bumping Blackout in your car each day with the windows down!?
5) Don't give up guys. People will see the bulletins, read the reviews, and listen to the songs. We just have to hope that their minds will have enough curiousity to get up, buy the album, and see [or rather, hear] what Blackout is all about.
On a side note,
Is it just me, or is Billboard not including the iTunes album sales? If sales figures for Walmart's exclusive Eagles album could be entered into Billboard's chart, why can't the sales figures from iTunes count? I don't know. 290,000 for Blackout doesn't seem like the correct number.
