I think it's Shake it Off with a debut of 544,000 back in September. Correct me if I'm wrong. 

No, Blank Space did 555k the first week of the year thanks to the gift card effect

I didn't expect Britney to release her lead so early. It's coming in less than a month. BJ doesn't even feel that old.

i think someone on her team said she will be focusing on singles for now with no album planned. Interesting to see if this becomes popular among artists in the future.

​Are these going to be on her album then or not? :duck:

There's not much money in albums anymore anyway, so I think this is smart. No having to worry about an album flopping, keeps interest on her Vegas show, and future singles are likely to do better since they won't suffer the typical album single struggles.

​Nowadays albums promote tours, so if Brit is just doing a residency there isn't much point. Especially since she doesn't do big album promo media blitzes anymore.

Apparently Mariah's single chart records were gained with some pretty blatant help from her label.

"The truth is somewhere between what "JoanCrawford" had to say and your point of view. Sony, during Mariah's marriage to Mottola, notoriously priced/pushed Carey's singles at a .99 cent price point at a time when virtually all singles in the industry were priced at $2.99 and up. The singles were basically presented as a "loss leader" in order to chase chart records; those ridiculously low prices for her singles stimulated a great deal of sales that other artists could not match. This information is not to demean many of her wonderful songs, but rather, to provide some realistic context. You could walk into any Tower Records store and her single would literally be sitting by itself near the cash register in its own little cardboard display with a 99 Cent banner, as if it was a candy bar when you check out at the supermarket. Mariah was the only one receiving such treatment; Sony did not promote their other major/blockbuster artists from the period (e.g., Celine Dion, Brandy, Backstreet Boys, to name a few) with this line of promotional swagger."
