Wow, Britney didn't do that well compared to other female artists in the US, but her worldwide sales trump everyone else. Go Britney!

This chart is based on first-week sales. If it was cumulative sales, I'm sure Britney wouldn't be #1.

First week sales are cute, but cumulative sales is what it's all about.

The sad thing is all those albums debuted at #1 except for ayaka's (and Ayu's but she had a double week anyway). And her's debuted higher than 3 of them. Awww.

ayaka didn't get her 1# weekly because her competitor was strong, but her album index number was big for a first week that why she topped the others.

I know... why'd she have to release on the week GReeeeN did?

BRITNEY really rocks..
she might not have the best attitude but you can never count her out
its amazing how she makes good music
after all shes not just a singer (i believe she's not) but a total performer
she entertains
