Britney Spears Blackout debuts at #2
Britney Spears Blackout did not debut as the #1 album in America today as was previously expected. Due to a revised policy by Billboard, The Eagles Long Road Out of Eden topped the charts with 711,000 albums sold versus 290,000 for Britney. The revised policy allows exclusive albums available through limited retailers to appear on the Billboard 200 list of bestselling albums (Long Road Out of Eden is only available at Wal-Mart and Sam's Club stores). In other news, the US Census Bureau issued an apology today for miscounting the total number of mentally handicapped individuals in the 2000 Census by 290,000.
Yet one more reason to live the Eagles.
I think it's ridiculous that they just change the rules mid week. Also there should be two different charts reflecting the sales. Besides didn't Walmart and other chains refuse to sell Britney due to some over reaction to photos.
