Britney Spears Tops Billboard Music Charts
The last several years have not been kind to Britney Spears, as the media attention shifted from her work to her personal problems and public breakdowns. This spate of bad press had many predicting that her music career was over, she has been able to make a comeback over the past week, all the way to the No. 1 spot on the Billboard Music Charts with her latest album Femme Fatale.
The album sold 276,000 copies in the first week, to beat out Wiz Khalifa's latest release Rolling Papers which holds the No. 2 spot. It sounds like some of Britney's new tunes were inspired by Lady Gaga singles, but that doesn't seem to bother fans who appear ready to welcome back the former pop megastar. While some might call her music generic, the style of pop she represents will always remain popular among a key demographic who tend to care more about skilled performance and image then the content of the music itself.
