Question About Charts

[Everytime]

So happy Britney debuted at #3 and beat her previous album, Britney Jean, in chart position!  congrats, Brit!

 

I have a question about the charts... I swear it's not shady at all or hateful, so please don't make it out like that. It's a basic question.

 

Who beat Britney on the charts, and what were their sales?

 

P.S.- who beat Britney with Britney Jean? I've never gotten the answer to this!

 

I believe Blackout was the Eagles, if I'm not mistaken. Plus some messed up chart rule change. :/

In the US it was Barbra Streisand (who bundled her ticket sales with her album) and Florida Georgia Line, which is a country band and a very popular genre in the US.

 

Also Garth Brooks (more country) beat Britney Jean, and I think One Direction and Kelly Clarkson? But I can't really remember.

Yes, Blackout was blocked from #1 because Billboard decided to allow store exclusive albums. The Eagles album was a Wal Mart exclusive  and came out that same week. They're a popular band that has been around for decades, so their fan base is enormous.

In the UK Glory was #2 beaten by Barbra Streisand
