EXCLUSIVE: Britney Spears Recording New Album
Friday June 20, 2008
 Todd Williamson / Wire Image Britney Spears is currently at work on an upcoming album, her vocal producer and co-writer Jim Beanz confirms exclusively to Usmagazine.com. "Britney is amazing," Beanz (recipient of the famed Eurovision Award for his song "Believe") tells Us. The singer, 26, has had her share of drama, but "we never see anything but positives out of her. "Everyone has personal stuff, but a true professional doesn't bring it into the studio," adds Beanz, who just opened his own studio, Sunset Entertainment Group, in Bryn Mawr, Pa. In April, her former manager Larry Rudolph told Us that Spears — who is currently in Kentwood, celebrating sister Jamie Lynn's new baby girl Maddie — had gone into the studio "just for fun." Added Rudolph, "she is on the right path." Spears' last album, Blackout, debuted at No. 2 on the U.S. Billboard 200. The first single "Gimme More" was her most successful single in the U.S. since "...Baby One More Time." (See photos of Britney's bikini body.) Tell Us: What's your favorite Britney song?

Blackouts sold over 3.000.000 copies world wide in 8 months Like the other guy said everytime someone mentions her name shes getting payed. GOOO BRIT CAN'T WAIT FOR THIS NEW ALBUM!!!!!

5:18 AM Anonymous. Britney is WASHED UP, just like Beyonce, Jessica and Christina are. The teeny boppers who once liked Britney and her counterparts turned their back on her as they got older. People who still like Britney are either part of the GLBT group of people or Europeans (who don't know sh*t about music anyhow) or people stuck in 1999/2000. MTV and TRL is a G*ddamned joke now as is VH1. Alicia Keys already tied Britney's record of first female to have first four albums DEBUT at #1. Look for Alicia to likely shatter Britney's record with her next release. Britney's as original as David Cassidy, Tiffany and New Kids on the Block, a teeny bopper who sold records yet burned out and faded away. Record and single sales don't mean sh*t. Hell, bands like The Ramones, Motorhead, Pantera, Rancid and The Sex Pistols didn't sell big amounts of records (like said teen artists and that wh*re you love) yet all of the artists they influenced and genres of rock they helped create kept their legacies alive and are gaining new fans today unlike that hillbilly harlot you love. Concert grosses don't mean sh*t as well as people aren't going to concerts anyhow these days due to the recession and alternatives like YouTube. Awards and Grammies mean squat. Hell, sh*t like Milli Vanilli, Starland Vocal Band and A Taste of Honey won Grammies yet no one remembers them. We will fight the good fight for music and do this for your own good!

5:08 AM Anonymous and the rest of you sheep Britney fans still don't get it. Britney's a has been and resorts to childish stunts to keep her dying career alive. Oversaturization, overexposure and what not DESTROYED her career. Her and her counterparts (Beyonce, Jessica and Christina) are no longer accepted as many people from the 1999/2000 period moved on to either rap or R&B or country or rock or classical music. Once Britney was all over the place, her popularity deteriorated. Each passing album since Baby One More Time sold less and less in the US anyhow (you lose your home country, you are f*cked). French, South Americans and Irish people don't know real music anyhow. The Ramones, The Sex Pistols, Motorhead, Rainbow, UFO and Thin Lizzy are bands that didn't sell any records in huge quantities here in the States yet their influence on bands as varied as Green Day and Rancid Metallica, Green Day, Megadeth and so on.

LONG LIVE ROCK AND ROLL Says:
10:19 PM, as the great Ozzy Osbourne said it "you can't kill rock and roll it's here to stay". It's making a huge comeback despite what big brother MTV and VH1 claims. Chicago based hard rockers Disturbed's new album sold 253,000 plus copies its first week. Rock legends The Eagles sold 750,000 copies of its new studio album in its first week (they went against Britney and SLAUGHTERED HER). Coldplay's new album's poised for a huge debut. Also, new albums by AC/DC and Metallica are poised to be blockbusters this year. Britney's time has been over since 2004. Once In the Zone failed to outsell Britney (which sold poor compared to her first two albums), the clock was ticking on her career. She tried to resuscitate sales with her quickie marriage to Jason Alexander, didn't work. The shows on her 2004 tour played smaller venues than previous tours and many fans walked out of her shows due to them being on borderline of soft porn/S&M. Then once she married K-Fed (yo) and became a mommy (which she's failed at) her decline sped up. Her greatest hits album tanked despite having three new songs (she lost to Eminem's last studio album and GREATEST HITS albums by Shania Twain and Toby Keith respectively and they too had new tracks). Her remix album flopped. Then Blackout did even worse. Don't blame downloading, blame herself! The only thing for her to resuscitate sales is to either OD or commit suicide (worked for Kurt Cobain).

Shock, GASP, Horror! Chrissy83 probably has love for men who probably knocked up their girlfriends to go for better things. You should know about screwing, you screwed all of Sh*tney's PR people, the lighting crew, her dancer, the popcorn vendor in the 15th row (CONGRATS LOUIE)! You have probably f*cked, like Sh*tney, all of the people on Earth now time to meet the planet of the APES. Unlike Earthling, they got style, they got class, they got panache. You are probably the psycho wh*re Sh*tney's herself and her Anonymouses and that julio dude Carlos. Alot of people want this skank dead and/or gone from the music scene. Don't be surprised if she offs herself in a bid to boost her dying career's sales. Everyone wants her back, alot of people DON'T! No one gives a sh*t about either her nor that Mexican sp*ck P*sstina anymore. Once those wh*res had kids, everyone abandoned them faster than it took for the Titanic to sink. People outgrow the teen pop artists that are big for a period of time.

Britney is one of the greatest singer of all time?! That is a joke. I will admit that her sings are catchy and good dance music but her voice is nowhere near being the best. She is a good entertainer (at least she use to be) but she really does not have that great of a singing voice. Good for her for trying to ger her life back on track though.

Yay! I can't wait until she releases her new album. What I like about Britney is the fact that she's innovative with her music. She doesn't put out music that sounds the same everytime, and while she does that, she keeps her fans interested in everything that she does. Regardless of what people say, her album "Blackout" was a really good album, her personal life just overshadowed that accomplishment, and I wish it didn't. She's an entertainer, and that's why she's still around today and she's not some flash in the pan. I really do hope that she pulls herself together to be the Britney she once was. Out of all the young starlets that have gotten themselves into their fair share of hardships, Britney has always been the one I rooted for, not Paris Hilton, Nicole Richie or Lindsey Lohan. Once she gets herself back to her 'roots,' everything will fall into place for her, including getting her children back. As for which Britney song is my favorite? I like all her songs. I actually hated Britney when she first came out in 1998, but not too long after did I really enjoy her music, and her first album was really good, and I became a fan after that, so basically I've grown up with Britney, she's just a few years older than me. I don't care about her personal life, it's about the music for me. I love all her music: "...Hit Me Baby (One More Time)", "Sometimes", "Crazy", "Bottom of My Brokenheart", "...Oops! I Did it Again", "Stronger", "Don't Let Me Be the Last to Know", "Lucky", "Slave 4 U", "Boys", "Not a Girl, Not Yet a Woman", "Overprotected", "Me Against the Music" - sung with Madonna, "Toxic", "Everytime", "Outrageous", "Breath on Me", "Do Somethin'", "Gimme Me More", "Piece of Me", "Break the Ice", "Radar" ... Regardless of what people may think, she's a heck of an artist to have all those hits in such a short amount of time. I wish she'd get her personal life together and happiness after that.

I don't care what anyone says, she's doing exactly here what she and her people want, getting feedback, hits on websites and this and that. By visiting this site and making comments you are filling her wallet, whether it's good or bad, you're signing her paycheck. Ever think of that? I'm one of the original Britney fans, and just like alot of artist that have been around awhile, you get to see everything, and just like those other artists, they have their pros and cons, and their fans and haters but either way, the internet still proves, just as record sales and concerts, t-shirts and commercials, that everytime someone says 'Britney Spears' she gets paid. Period. That's how marketing works. Welcome to America.

To the anonymous source who said Blackout sold well its first week needs to stop smoking the bong water Sh*tney and her people hand to her sheep fans. For an average run of mill artist, selling 250,000 its first week is great. However, for Britney (who was used to selling over 500,000 in her first week for her three previous studio efforts before Blackout) it was seen as a disaster and the album would've had no legs for long term success. Her label pushed the release up so neither Celine Dion nor Alicia Keys would slaughter her. However, Sh*tney's label Jive didn't see The Eagles' new album as a threat like morons. The Eagles' first studio album since 1979 (you probably weren't alive then) pulled off the biggest UPSET and OUTSOLD her by three times what she sold her first week and from only one chain (Wal Mart and Sam's Club) and few scattered stores that carried it. At the indy record store where I worked, we ordered three Britney CDs and also three of The Eagles' CD (which one of the distributors somehow got hold of) and Queen's double live CD Queen Rock Montreal. The Eagles and Queen OUTSOLD her. Britney we had to send back to distributor as no one bought it. The Eagles and Queen CDs we couldn't keep in stock as they were selling LEFT AND RIGHT! Sh*tney will either have to commit suicide or something drastic in order to resuscitate sales as each album has done less and less. That is the plain, basic truth!

Her life is not over and I believe she will rise. I can't understand how people have no empathy. To er is human to forgive is devine. She lost her way. People do. With all we our flaws and failure how can we not feel her pain and wish her success. Most people at a point in life feel like we might lose our mind. The difference is how we think, the way we response and the support we have. I am being people just like to feel there is someone out there who is worst off and chose to use their lips to try and diminish her qualities and accomplishments. I am happy she is getting help and getting better. I pray that she finds peace, love and fulfilment with people who truly love her. By the way,she has sold over 80 million and is beautiful and talented. Even if she was out of the trailer park that the beauty of America there is hope for trailer people.

11:04. where did you get your sources? I happen to know that Blackout sold 250,000 copies in its first WEEK! Which is pretty good and it was a great album but her personal problems over shadowed how good it was. I hope she wins lots of grammys for her next album! Post new comment |
