How many copies can Britney's next era debut with in 2022 (album, singles etc)?

[No Seas Cortes]

Disclaimer: Just a speculation. I don't expect her to release anything any time soon, I'm only curious to hear your thoughts on how many copies Britney can sell in 2022 hypothetically  Don't start any unnecessary drama with ''Let her rest'' or ''You shameless wh/ore you want her to go back to work so badly'' etc. Literally no one thinks that. And it's not the serve you think it is  You thought you ate, okay, maybe you ate a little when the situation is suitable  But some people clearly do this only to get likes and attack innocent users, it's cringy 

 

Okay, now that I dragged some of you that names I don't even know (), we can start the thread 

How many copies can Britney's next era debut with in 2022 (albums, singles etc)? 

[everybodygoesdown]

A lot. More than Taylor Swift, less than Adele. Sorry just being real here.

[FemmeFataleBrit]

Maybe around 70K to 80K and it’ll probably debut at number 2.

This thread is so funny

Well... 

Yes, people talk about Britney a lot lately but it doesn't mean they will buy her albums  I'm sorry but general public love basic chicks like Adele and Taylor, they are very um... ''classy''. Britney is too controversial for GP to support her music like that 

She's definitely capable to selling more than Ariana's latest album  So maybe 150K or 200K copies. Definitely more than Britney Jean and Glory  I think so

[Sinned_88]

20k.

[nakedsoldier]

If the marketing is done right, the visual for the first single is on Toxic level and she gives one stellar performance before the album drops... I'd say 500 - 700K first week album sales.

People are rooting for Britney, it's the biggest comeback of all time, but she needs to get her image together. She'll probably sell 10K if she keeps that messy hair & make up and peasant outfits lol. She needs to revamp her whole image and break the rules of the mediocre sound the pop landscape is running at the moment.

The big mysterious book is gonna sell more than BJ that’s for sure

The delusion 

[Phonography423]

This entire thread is just 

[Urbanney]

Tbh, I don’t think a lot. Glory didn’t go #1 even when the album is really good, Britney was looking and performing her best, and there was a good amount of good promo (despite the era’s downfalls). That was 5-6 years ago, and album sales have only gone down over time. Her last hit was Work ***** in 2013, and even that is more of a niche pop song, and Scream & Shout before that in 2012 which was 10 years ago. No one seems to know about Slumber Party or Make Me, even with SP being one of Britney’s best music videos with Tinashe in it and G-Eazy on Make Me when he was at his most popular.

None of Britney’s peers from the era of when they were all really successful are really selling well, doing great, or even participating in pop music either (Gaga, Beyonce, Rihanna, Katy, Nicki, Justin Timberlake, etc.). The brand of pop music and pop culture (performances, music videos, controversy, being rich and famous) that Britney is known for is out of style right now. Authenticity is the hot thing right now.

I would argue Britney isn’t even really known or appreciated for her music at this point, besides maybe Toxic, BOMT, and Oops. She’s more known for her 2000s pop culture/nonstalgia influence and her 2006-2008 struggles. I’m at the beginning of Gen Z, and I think it’s even rare for someone my age to have Britney influence their live so much, let alone younger Gen Zers. Britney debuted the year I was born, so I missed the entire height of her fame and beginning of her career because I was so young.

We are in uncharted territory as far as we don’t really know what kind of music Britney would want to make, what career she wants, and how dedicated she is to having a number one album again too. She hasn’t had control over her career since 2007.  I tend to think that she has little interest in the music industry but she might like to make music for her own therapy. But I also know she’s competitive and maybe there’s something inside of her that wants to prove to people (and her family/team con) of how successful she can be without them.

Then there’s the fact that this whole conservatorship and Britney’s instagram has sort of broken the illusion of the popstar and celebrity that she was. This could benefit her since authenticity is in and the mega rich and famous celebrity popstar is out of popularity, but it could also hurt her popularity since it was what it was known for. Although, I’d argue that the Femme Fatale era, X-Factor era, and Britney Jean already ruined this image a bit since it was pretty obvious Britney was struggling during this time and wasn’t as dedicated to the popstar lifestyle.

I’m not saying she can’t sell well or won’t, I’m just saying the conditions around her would suggest she’s not setup well to sell a whole lot. Britney’s always known how to surprise us, be extremely successful, and break records, so I definitely think it’s still a possibility to sell a lot better than what the conditions I listed above make me think.

Depends what Britney can bring to the table tbh, music scene has changed a lot Glory initially had demand internationally but her team didn't try anything. 

These days, a lot of personal stuff works if she makes an album and markets it as her personal one (not like BJ) she can achieve a good amount, dance pop? no, but experimental record with a story she can do wonders. 

People has been in the eyes of media and people, her streaming numbers have improved a lot she's a big hit on TikTok which means young generation is interested and loves her classics. 

An album with personal songs imo can do wonders to her, a total 360 sound shift can keep people interested. 

I think many people don't know Glory sold more than 110K+ in the US when her songs weren't even sent out to radios for full tracking, shipping was far less internationally. 

Glory had decent sized promotions but they were mainly old mediums, nobody watches interviews on TV now if you target nicely Britney can see another peak era. 

In the US no less than 150K first week, album needs to be long to keep her stable for streaming. 

[Frankie8]

I'm speaking about US charts. Probably 50-70,000 physical albums. Combining that with streams, I'd say she would debut at number 3. 2 if it's not a big week of current artists.

For her debut single, I'd guess maybe 20,000 physical singles with a first week peak between 30 and 40 on the pop chart.

[No Seas Cortes]

I totally can see her with multiple #1 singles on Billboard Hot 100. But the thing is it's not that hard to do that nowadays. There's a lot of songs that get #1 and in few weeks no one remembers them. They don't really have any impact on music. 

Britney... she just achieved everything a pop star can achieve and it's very tricky because how can you expect her to top that or be as good? She set the bar too high

You can't ''blame'' her for that. I'm not a psychiatrist but there is a possibility she struggles with depression and people with depression often don't care about a lot of stuff, especially about their appearance. 

[Toxic.Latin]

It will depend on the first single performance. There is a lot of demand of britney EVERYWHERE.

DEAL.

this. and i believe that if she really is able to re-invent herself successfully again (like she would do pre-con) she could have great success.

obviously in Britney's style but something to the level of success / quality of "confessions on a dance floor" by madonna. it was not madona at her PRIME prime but she was great; she delivered professionally, on ALL levels - everything looked high end, the aesthetics, the appearances, looks, makeup, promo. it was basically a different prime for madonna. she was mainstream again, she became "hot topic", she didn't look like a has been.

i think you guys get the idea. so maybe we don't need britney to dance like she used to, but she'll need to bring it on another level to prime level. either maybe really good live vocals. or a lot of creative control. i don't know, something. but it would have to be her heart and soul.

because i fear that otherwise the public would not be very forgiving and that can be terrifying for britney - she knows on what level she brought it before. she knows she was THAT *****. so the pressure must me HUGE, specially after the embarrassment of having the whole world hear how you were abused. - its crazy!!! she's so strong. i would die.

so yeah i also get her if she never ever wants to see people ever again or put music out or don't give a **** about her fans because she doesn't really have to and i totally get her.

[Haha-Hehe-Haha-Ho]

It doesn't matter. Our girl has nothing to prove.
