Britney Spears plans to release two versions of Till The World Ends video, Nicki Minaj to join on tour

Since delaying promotion until the week of the albums release, Britney Spears will finally get the video released for her Ke$ha-esque single, “Till The World Ends”. The Ray Kay-directed video is set to premier on Wednesday April 6.

JustJared.com has exclusively revealed that the shoot went so well, that a second video will be released. “The director’s cut will have more of an apocalyptic storyline while the choreography cut will have the unabridged version of Britney’s dance moves.” says JustJared.

Femme Fatale Deluxe

JustJared.com has also revealed that a reliable source has stated that Nicki Minaj is set to join The Holy Spearit on her upcoming Femme Fatale tour. These people know just how to rank in the big bucks. Although Britney can tour on her own, Nicki’s fanbase is huge and could end up boosting ticket sales.

“Till The World Ends” is the second single off Britney’s seventh studio album, “Femme Fatale”. It has so far peaked at number nine on the Billboard Hot 100. Let’s hope that this video doesn’t disappoint. I’m really liking what I’m seeing thou.

MTV release Britney Spears special, “Femme Fatale” debuts at #8 on UK charts

MTV released “Britney Spears: I Am the Femme Fatale” yesterday at 9 pm. The project shows Britney and building process of the project. This should help the sales of the album, as Britney Spears' “Femme Fatale” has debuted at number 8 on the UK charts with almost 30,000 copies sold, her lowest first week sales over there.

Britain has never embraced Britney like the States have, and with no UK promotions, this was bound to happen. “Hold It Against Me” debuted at number 8, whereas it topped the charts elsewhere. Likewise, “Till The World Ends” debuted at number 20 and peaked at number nine on the Billboard Hot 100, yet it spent roughly two weeks in the top 40 of the UK charts, peaking at number 21. Her “Circus” album sold close to 76,631 copies its first week, but that was thanks to her X-Factor performance and the Christmas rush.

Hopefully, Brit Brit can expect better sales as she keeps her promotional duties consistent. Let’s hope that after this era, Britney takes a long break and comes back when she is ready to perform again.

You can watch the special below. I'll post my thoughts later.

Britney Spears obtains her first #1 album on ARIA Charts

After twelve years of remaining amazing, Britney Spears has lots to smile about as she has shown her critics that she still has staying power. The pop princess has achieved the feat of obtaining her first number one album on the Australian charts with “Femme Fatale”. Not only has it debuted at number one, but it has gone gold its first week selling over 35,000 copies.

The Holy Spearit is also on course to debut in the top three of the UK albums chart. The singer is expected to obtain her sixth number one debut on the Billboard 200 with a range of 275,000 to 300,000 copies its first week. If this happens, Spears will be tied for the third-most number one albums among Mariah Carey and Janet Jackson. Only Babra Streisand (nine number ones) and Madonna (seven number ones) have earned more number one albums.

Spears' last studio release, 2008's "Circus," blasted in at number one with 506,000 copies, led by the Billboard Hot 100 number one single "Womanizer." "Femme" was preceded by the Hot 100 number one debuting single "Hold It Against Me" while its second single, "Till the World Ends," rebounds 23-22 on the Hot 100 this week, already peaking at number nine.

I’m really happy for Britney’s success, but I expected the album to sell more. She is one of the only pop acts to continue to churn out amazing pop music and always makes pop music that is different. It’s a pity that she has no more drive left to perform like she used to and her fans can see it. I mean the album leaked almost two weeks before the release date, the “Hold It Against Me” music video disappointed with its hyped up dancing and Britney waited to promote the album only during the album release week. I hope that she continues to promote this album and not promote it like she did with “Circus”, when she performed for a week then toured. This album is congested with hits.

Expect to see a review of the album during the week. I’m so busy that I forgot to write one but the album is fantastic and worth buying, although she has no credits.
