Britney Beats ”Baby One More Time”

Britney Spears’ latest single “Womanizer” has hit the charts and gone straight through the roof:

Another week, another record-breaking jump to No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100. Britney Spears makes a near-maximum 96-1 rise with “Womanizer,” returning to the top of the list for the first time since her debut single “…Baby One More Time” hit No. 1 in January 1999.”
The song jumped nearly one hundred places in the course of one week, which is some serious upward mobility. Reviews for the single where lack luster, the video was remarkable only thanks to Brit’s rehabbed bod, but somehow I thought the fans would keep their pop princess afloat, I just never expected they’d shoot her straight into the stratosphere! Congrats are definitely in order for the recovering singer, especially when you consider that:
Britney also nabbed the biggest opening week sales by a female artist on the digital download charts smacking down Mariah Carey’s “Touch My Body” by 200 clicks. The news is all the more impressive when you consider that it’s been almost 10 years since her last No. 1 song, which was “…Baby One More Time” in January 1999. I think a round of applause is most definitely in order here!”
