Then they say that the record industry is in crisis ... Yes, it is, although for some the famous recession has not yet come. It is the case of Britney Spears, which sold 124.000 copies of its new album on its first day 'Blackout'.
It is an unequal figure for current times. And her record label Jive / Zomba expects 'Blackout' to have sales of between 330.000 and 350.000 in a week, which would put her at number one in the rankings.
It seems that so much controversy in her personal life has worked for Britney. The previous album, "In the zone", released in 2003, had sold 600.000 copies in the first week, although of course, they were other times for the industry.
