It only took one week for Britney Spears‘ “Womanizer” to charm its way into chart history after a record-breaking rise from number 96 last week to number one this week on the Billboard Hot 100. The 96 spot leap bests T.I.’s previous record for long distance jump, which he accomplished after his “Live Your Life” went from 80 to the top spot last week. Amazingly, “Womanizer” is Spears’ first number one since the beginning of her career when “…Baby One More Time” topped the chart back in January 1999. More record-breaking: “Womanizer” was downloaded 286,000 times last week, beating out Mariah Carey’s “Touch My Body” as the biggest opening week tally by a female artist. Spears will hope for similar chart-topping success when her Circus comes to town on December 2nd.

Jealous bitches.

Maybe you don’t like her style, but guess what other people do. Face it, why should there be a type of music people “should” be listening to? And she’s obviously doing something right considering she’s survived 10 years in one deadly fishbowl which is more than a lot of singer/songwriter types that arn’t with us anymore. You don’t have to respect her style of music but respect the millions of people who do. You don’t have to be Mozart to be a performing artist. and she does create a lot of jobs for people.

So basically, all artists with children should completely halt their careers in the best interest of their family? Tell that to Madonna, Bruce Springsteen, Christina Aguilera, etc.

The only reason they have a father figure around them all the time is because he does nothing else with his life. Where is his source of income coming from? Britney’s account I presume.

Britney’s planning a world tour. It’s obvious Britney’s children remain low her priority list and she has no plans to attempt a “comeback“ as a mother. Thank God, Sean Preston and Jayden James have a stable and loving father!

Can’t stand Britney and can’t stand Rolling Stone’s promotion of her. If she gets another RS cover, I’m done with your magazine. You need to understand that Britney is one reason why the music scene is tanking.

Hello Britney and you’re crew:

I’m happy to know you are back and in a successful way, that gives hopes to others going through a crisis.

Don’t let it down,keep moving ahead your fans need you.

Sincerely,

Julio

I don’t like her music that much, but, it is good to see her better. Someone could help Amy Winehouse too!!!

good luck Brit.
