US Weekly reports that Britney’s new album “Blackout” sold 124,000 copies in its first day meaning that it is a #1 for sure. You’d be forgiven if you actually were surprised about this because rationally, the idea that you can be a complete insane white trash train wreck usually doesn’t coincide with being able to bring out anything potentially successful let alone an album on an international scale.
Britney, however, isn’t like other people. Britney gets around having to have been seriously focused on this latest album because, for the most part, she’s not really involved. She’s sort of like Kylie Minogue – the early years in that way. I mean, she shows up flops around a bit, squawks into a microphone in between gulps of frozen margarita and handfuls of boneless buffalo wings eaten out of a white box made from compressed Chanel gowns and then she rolls home and flounces about there but the real work was done by the producers.
It’s actually the most amazing look into how the hard core produced plastic music industry works. For the most part these manufactured bands put up a good front in the sense that they try and look like they’re involved and present as they go through the motions of their constructed characters performing other people’s music but really, this shows that in America you don’t even really have to do that. All you have to do is show up some of the time. The machines do the rest. [source]
