It’s what all of the “mainstream” blogs have been waiting for — the end of Britney Spears’ first week back on the album charts. It’s probably not what her few remaining fans had hoped for — the comeback-that-wasn’t ended with her in the No. 2 position behind The Eagles, with only 290,000 albums sold. Since I can’t find the words to describe my feelings on this subject, I’ll turn to the words of 50 Cent:
It sort of sums everything up.
And because the top of the Billboard 200 is completely devoid of either color or soul, I hit you with the Hip Hop/R&B album charts after the jump.

britney wuz robbed. the only reason she came in at #2 was because was because of a recent change in how sales are calculated. i think it’s that sales at chain stores are now tabulated. i can’t recall exactly. anyway, that’s how the Eagles managed to get in at #1.
I can’t gather the energy to care. The only person Ilike on that list is Kanye. No, I do not like Keyshia, Jill or Angie.
This is so offensive to large people but during my last transatlantic family reunion, there was a lengthy argument about Jill and Angie. The conclusion was that D’Angelo is a chubby chaser. If two black women (who have nothing in common looks wise except for their weight in common) can be mixed up by my family (over 2 dozen black people), I can’t be so mad when white people mix black people up.
