Ooops! She Did It Again: Britney’s ‘Blackout’ at No. 1

“Blackout” sold between 325,000 and 350,000 copies depending on whom you believe, but it’s enough to put Spears ahead of Carrie Underwood — at least this week. The embattled pop mom is having more trouble on the radio, which is not playing “Gimme More” much right now. Maybe programmers will be persuaded to spin a second single from “Blackout.” We’ll see.

The “Blackout” numbers, though, are severely down from Spears’ last release. When “In the Zone” was released in 2003, it sold 609,000 copies in its first week. “Blackout” remains the No. 1 downloaded album on iTunes and the fifth bestselling CD on Amazon.com.
