can britney sell 5 million?
She has uploaded a recipe for her new album and it says that it has to have 5 million servings=5 million album sales..do u thinkthat the label is being delusional about the sales figure when her last album didn't sell even 2 million..or do u think this is their goal for the album?

Fun fact, if wikipedia is to be believed, if they hit 5 mill with this album it'll push her over 100 million album sales (including 7m compliation)
Impressive!
her music generally is not really the issue, but she has a lot of work to do, if she really does want to get back on top form.
In reality I think Britney will not commit herself to that much promotion and at the most we can expect a decent amount of promotion (Circus era) or at the very least very minimum promotion (Femme Fatale era).
It's such a shame that Britney hasn't really promoted an album extensively since 2003's In The Zone. Her music is brilliant.... it's just she doesn't bother reaching out to a wider audience other than her core fan base which is rather disappointing.
Going back to my original point though, she is definitely able to achieve 5 million album sales.... because she is of the biggest stars in the world, she's just gotta put the work into it.
Like Madonna's Ray of light, Cher's Believe or Mariah's Mimi album
All in good time. She is still only young.
I think doing the X Factor has done wonders for her confidence. The aftermath of her breakdown really knocked her for six but I feel she's finally found that sparkle in her again.
Britney's album will sell somewhere in the range of 1 - 3 million depending on promotion or lack of thereof, on the quality of the material and on the competition of the market at the time she releases. If, for example, the album sounds like 'FF' 2.0., is poor promoted and released in early 2014, missing out on the holiday sales, I can see it barely crossing the 1 million mark.
Anyway as a fan I do have a really good feeling about her upcoming era i haven't been this excited for one of her albums in ages. This year she's been constantly spotted at dance studios, and this time around she has gained back some of her control over her album so it seems to me she's taking this era serious & putting the work in I do hope there's a decent ww launch for the album
Get set up in a hotel, she could do Daybreak, BBC Breakfast, This Morning and Loose Women (the main daytime shows) in one day and get the shows to schedule them on different days, film a performance of old and new songs for a show like MTV Live Vibrations, record a performance on X Factor and Strictly (the main winter prime time shows) throw in a couple of chat shows like Graham Norton and Alan Carr, pre record a load of radio interviews on Radio 1 and Capital along with a few local stations and she has a UK promo tour done in 4 or 5 days that can be put out over 2 weeks before the single/album launch
Without promotion she won't top FF
Two other things she could do 1) not let her team tell interviewers what questions to ask, asking more personal things may make her more approachable to the general public.
2) and this is a must, NO LIP-SYNCHING.
The problem here is that Britney hasn't been the Britney Spears who was on top of the world, for quite a while. She's never going to get back to where she used to be. The brand "Britney Spears" is quite a lot different from the Britney we've seen/heard for the past... Oh, 8 years or so. She used to be a personality, she used to have the x-factor, she used to love doing what she does.
Does anyone really feel like she's even a fraction of what she used to be... I mean, honestly? Hand on heart?
I think she could use a couple of years out of the spotlight, get treatment, completely change her management and get rid of the people who are only out to exploit her and cash in on her. Maybe then she'll be on the way to the "old" Britney, and able to sell 5m.
Right now? Probably not. I can't see her doing what's necessary to get those kind of sales.
AGREED. My thoughts exactly!
I should do this for a living, I wouldn't even want much money and I think the majority of ideas I have are better than the muppets that call themselves managers these days, its not hard to plan a promo tour for one of the worlds biggest stars, Daybreak, Loose Women and local radio stations would love to have a major worldwide artist on their schedule
I think you're quite right, loads of times I've thought I could do a much better job. If it was up to me I'd get Britney to do the following in the UK:
Exclusive interview with The Sun newspaper
Live interview on BBC Radio One Breakfast Show
Interview on ITV's This Morning
Performance on The Graham Norton Show and brief chat
Live performance on Strictly Come Dancing/The X Factor
Now this would be sufficient enough to help launch the album in the UK.
