Why is Jada's book listed, but Britney's isn't? Were they not released the same day? 

Jada’s book came out October 4th. Britney’s came out October 24th. The chart will refresh tomorrow and Britney will debut at #1. But the NYT doesn’t actually rank sales - it’s a ranking of what their authors think the biggest books are.

 

PublishersWeekly will actually publish sales.

I can't believe I didn't like "Don't Hang Up" when I was younger - where was the taste? The production and her vocals are perfect. It's so warm.

 

I read the book this week - I'm so impressed by it! (slightly spoilers ahead:)

I think my favourite thing about the book was how she evaluated how the media treated her in the past, such as after the 2000 VMAs, the Justin breakup, and how fit she was to be a parent. I'm glad she highlighted the media's huge display of misogyny and downright maliciousness. I also loved how she highlighted that she was seen as a sex symbol and nothing more to some people - she was denied being seen as smart or talented to some people for that reason.

I hope it's going to be integral to the recent reevaluation of Britney's career - where a lot of young people are discovering her discography and helping reframe her music to be seen as what it is - work by a talented woman expressing herself and not just a pretty person singing songs to become popular on the charts.

Don’t Hang Up is chef’s kiss. Anytime I come back around to it I’m obsessed for weeks.

 

I hope if Britney ever makes another album it’s full of sensual songs like that. And Then We Kiss, Heaven On Earth, etc. type songs.

Those are great songs but I'm not sure I'd call them sensual. I guess they'd still fit the playlist though!

 

I listened to That's Where You Take Me yesterday and it's so sublime.

 

The Britney album cover confused me for years as to what it is - were they just messing around with colours? And did the end of her trousers look exactly like that or is it editing? That said, I've always loved the cover so much.

2001 album used to be my fave and it still is today. I'm happy that it apepars to be Britney's favorite too in 2023

Thanks for the tea. You always bring it.

I've been so hyped about that superficial NYT best seller title which is fine but I thought they measured sales. Thanks for providing another source. I want the real sales.

It's a gorgeous song! Very ahead of its time in sound. Is it the demo version the final one?

Found this rather new interview with Christian Karlsson (Bloodshy) and nothing new except for this one detail that I didn't know: apparently, they had already worked with Britney in 2001.

 

Quote

When the A&R rep asked if Karlsson had anything to share, it prompted him to play the rough demo of “Toxic” that he wrote with Kylie Minogue in mind. “I played it and he was really into it, but it didn’t end up being that song at that time,” Karlsson explains. “It became the start of a relationship with Britney.” Though he says the two began working together in 2001, it wasn’t until Spears’ 2003 album In the Zone that their creative collaboration caught fire.

Bloodshy & Avant, as well as Danja, were so damn good

Got the book yesterday and finished half before going to bed because it was so addicting. To be fair, the font is really big and it's not hard to read - but I feel like there's so much in between the lines. I'm so happy this finally exists and that she has so much success with this. ESPECIALLY because she's finally calling out her family and how messed up things were/are and how scared she was of her father. And it made me feel so good inside that her little sister was exposed for the ***** she is. Really, really amazing!
