[Prince Whiskers]

I think it stands for Germany. Has he ever posted? Oh, wait...

 

 

[LuisMa]

I still don't get it.

Well, if you read the Mariah topic, you'll see we share some #1s, but not all.

I think it was a terrific comeback for Britney and I loved it.

[Black Kitten]

something for Luis:

 

i was wrong when i said Janet Jackson is the only artist in history to score a #1 hit in 3 decades, but here's another fact. she is the only artist to score a #1 ALBUM in 3 decades. madonna never had a #1 album in the 90's, so it's JJ holding the record.

 

80's:

Control

Janet Jackson's Rhythm Nation 1814

 

90's:

janet.

The Velvet Rope

 

2000's:

All For You

Discipline

 

about the topic, it's surprising that she only has 2 #1 song under her belt. her album sells, but most of her songs didn't even crack the top 10.

[SuperLove4Celine]

"Womanizer" was the perfect song for Britney to release from her upcoming album, Circus. It doesn't have any deep-meaning lyrics, but not every song has to have one. Also, not every artist was created to make deep-meaning music. I can think of a few songs that are amazing that aren't deep, but are great. A few are Corona's, "Rhythm Of The Night," Aqua's, "Barbie Girl," (say what you will, but it's still a fun dance track), Right Said Fred's, "I'm Too Sexy," etc.

 

As for the album cover I think it's good. It's definately up to interpretation. The way I see it is that she's getting ready to throw open her overcoat to expose whatever underneath. Could it be bare skin? Maybe. Could it be a skanky outfit? Again, maybe. Perhaps it's a beautiful outfit. But yet again not every album has to have an amazing cover with supreme skills.

First off, I just can't stand her voice.

 

I mean, for every artist out there - there are unique voices that are just worth hearing, worth paying for, and worth listening to.

 

She makes Madonna sound like Barbara Streisand...

 

I don't give a damn about the freaking "Britney Spears Concert Experience..." and her shakalaka-hands-side-to-side dance moves. Her dancing is definitely not all that. If you want to see dance, watch MTV's America's Best Dance Crew.

 

And then there's... her.

 

I'd rather not go there.

I agree with you, Joe. I'm happy she did make her comeback, after a disastrous 2007. I love all those songs you're listing, and I'd include Real McCoy's "Another Night" and Vengaboys "We Like To Party!" and "Boom Boom Boom Boom!!"

I thought Barbra Streisand scored a #1 album in 4 different decades? On Higher Ground released in 1997(?) was the last one.

[LuisMa]

I think some of that data is not really accurate, Dhena, as Tiffany spent sometime at number one in 1987 with her self-titled debut. She had just turned 17 years old then.

 

It also says that Janet earned 5 of her #1 albums consecutively, but which ones?

Control, Janet Jackson's Rhythm Nation 1814, janet., The Velvet Rope, All For You, Discipline

 

"Design Of A Decade" and "Damita Jo" fall between them, so they would definitely break the record the statement is claiming.

 

Manuel is correct with Barbra Streisand not having three, but four decades with a number one album.

She hit number one in the 60s, 70s, 80s, and 90s.

 

"Mariah Carey's self-titled debut album holds the record for the most Hot 100 #1 singles from a #1 album by a female artist."

Janet also had 4 number one singles from her #1 album "Rhythm Nation 1814"

[LuisMa]

Moreover, Whitney Houston had four number one songs from her #1 album "Whitney."

 

"I Wanna Dance With Somebody"

"Didn't We Almost Have It All"

"So Emotional"

"Where Do Broken Hearts Go"

 

Paula Abdul also had four number one songs from her #1 album "Forever Your Girl."

 

"Straight Up"

"Forever Your Girl"

"Cold Hearted"

"Opposites Attract"

"Design Of A Decade" and "Damita Jo" fall between them, so they would definitely break the record the statement is claiming.

Control, Rhythm Nation 1814, janet., The Velvet Rope and All for You are already 5 albums Luis, so obviously Damita Jo and even 20 Y.O. were so out of the picture, Discipline being her 6th #1.

 

We have to exclude Design of a Decade 1986/1996 because it's a Greatest Hits album. (i guess they were talking about proper/studio albums only)

I was thinking the same, but still it wouldn't make any sense because the album did manage to reach the Billboard 200's Top 10. So the "consecutive" doesn't really apply. That's why I was wondering whether they had missed "Damita Jo" and were contemplating the first five or the latter five.

Something Mariah will never have is the record for most Top 5 hits from a debut album. It'll go to Paula Abdul and Fergie with five.

 

And Britney???? *tries to go back on track*

2 bonus tracks are rumoured to exist for outside of North America.

 

Plus a "Radar" remix is set to be an international bonus track.

[Bradders]

I can't wait to buy it

[Black Kitten]

Radar is one of the standout tracks from Blackout. i'll always be frustrated that it never got its shot, and so was Break the Ice.
