Britney/Madonna Tidbits

Britney’s Me Against the Music has finally reached the Top 40 on the charts. That means that more radio stations should be playing the song soon. So keep requesting.

Celebrity stylist Phillip Bloch thinks Britney Spears may be taking a page from Madonna‘s playbook, but he’s not so sure it’s a good idea. Put Madonna to the side, he says, and look at Mariah, Janet, and Christina.

“They think they have to be sexy to sell,” he says. But “if everybody just looked at the history of it, it really doesn’t help any of their careers. The record sales go down.”

Even the Material Girl fell victim to this: after releasing her S&M tome “Sex” in 1992, she saw her record sales plummet from 10 million (for 1990’s “Immaculate Collection,” a compilation of her greatest hits) to just 2 million for 1992’s “Erotica”
