WTF?! How did this happen?!!!


This week as you all already know, Britney Spears lost custody of her sons. She had probably the worst week of her life with tremendous amounts of bad publicity everywhere. And... unprobably by any of the music critics on the industry, she has the THIRD BIGGEST SONG IN THE COUNTRY!!


Yes. I'm a fan and even I think this is outrageous, but I'm loving it. "Gimme More" by Miss Britney Spears has reached number 3 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart (the overall chart of singles in the country), soaring from number 63 last week, making it the biggest jump of the week and I think one of the biggest jumps on history and defitinely of Britney's career. The song also debuted straight at number one on the Billboard Hot Digital Songs with over 179,000 downloads (still keeping her atop of the iTunes chart). Check the information here. This is the complete Top 10 on Download chart:

The Hot 100 chart will be released tomorrow and I will surely bring a copy to the blog. Now, the part that truly amazes me, "Gimme More" has the second higgest Hot 100 position for Britney since "Baby One More time" in 1999. It is assumed it will be number 1 next week. It is also the fifth song from her that reaches the Top 10 on that chart.


The "Gimme More" video will be released on Friday (on iTunes) and Monday on MTV. I promise I won't post about Britney that much but I'm super happy!!!
