celeb megathread The Woman in Me Megathread | Out now | Margot Robbie and Brad Pitt bid for adaptation

[dumbsparce]

When is the Billboard Book 100 coming out and what does its current top 10 look like?

[PopMusicJunkie]

Okay, wait a minute.  Why did Britney talk about not being able to perform "Change Your Mind" for POM when she did?  

 

 

I completely blacked out forgot she did for the POM: Tour.

400k in one day is HUGE! I wonder how much the OP’s fave would sell in a day if she released a memoir. 

Just a third of the numbers just as the record sales.

This is great

But the Army needs to stop saying that an album would pull this. numbers. You're setting her up. Even if she does 200k with an album which is a great number for her she would look bad in comparison. Just stop

Britney is passed her imperial phase but if we take into account that the book is ~$30 that equals to 1.2M albums in one day which is huge overall but especially for an artist 25 years in and virtually no promo since like 2016 

[Soda Pop Queen]

I'm one of those 400K! 

 

anyone know what the book sales thresholds are? Like, would this be considered platinum for books lol

[Rigalo]

Stop why did I see a tweet saying it sold 15 mil copies the first day and I totally believed it

She's referring to the residency I think, she even mentions how they said they could only put it as an interlude for wardrobe change.

Sorry if this was already asked, there's too many pages to go through. When Britney said that she felt more confident by the 3rd year of Piece of Me, was she talking about 2016 then? I saw a bit of spark in her then. A little bit in 2015, but then also 2016 when they finally redid the show a bit. I was only able to skim through my read so I don't remember a lot of the details.

 

Hearing her thoughts on a lot of the behind the scenes of her life is so refreshing. She didn't owe it to us, but it confirms a lot of things. The #FreeBritney acknowledgement part where she spoke of the connection to her fans made me tear up. I really do love her so much. 

 

I hope she continues to live her life and love things and grow, and find herself all over again. 

Yes! and I believe there's an audio somewhere in youtube that she posted (and then deleted) where she specifically said that in 2016 she had her spark back and that was threatening for team c   I also believe they started drugging her more in 2017 because that was the year there was a change and then again in 2018 where you could tell she was already exhausted and over it (can't blame her)

[ZeroSuitBritney]

Just finished it. So so so good and emotional. I love her

publishers weekly #1 last week was arnold's Be Useful with 40k

Single handedly bringing back reading to this illiterate generation, who else 

[Sheep]

So Britney and her publisher aren't real sources but TMZ who lies about her all the time is? 9m was optimistic but even Jenette McCurdy's memoir sold a couple million.

I think you might be thinking of the money she got in advance for the book deal? I never saw anyone claiming 15m, that's completely unrealistic. 

Like, 400k is not close at all to the 9m some people were claiming, but if we think about it 400k, first day, for a book release is kind of insane. 

[Vinay973]

Loved the book, it is Britney's greatest piece of art and is truly the highlight of her impressive career

[popmusicisdead]

give her the Nobel Prize for Literature

Jessica Simpson did that and made zero noise with it while her book was also a best seller.

? Her book did 500k in 12 weeks. Britney did almost the same in one day.

I teared up at the mention of her connection with fans, too 

[XtinaStripped]

Just finished listening. This gives so much perspective to a lot of situations that seemed weird from the outside looking in. I'm glad she's finally been able to tell her truth after everything.

the publishing industry actually does better than the album industry; 2022:

in 2022, 2 albums sold at least half a million copies.

Are the book & album sales you speak of worldwide sales?

I see her book was released in 2020 and she hasn't had an album since 2010

 

 

 

Lol yeah she released a companion EP with her book. Though for a minute just now I thought I was imagining it cause it’s not even in her wiki 

[Rv1709]

Wow, those numbers are big for someone who barely wrote her own music but wrote a book
