Posted October 15, 200816 yr Britney Spears makes a 96-1 jump 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 . . . This is the third time in the past two months that the record for the biggest jump to No. 1 has been shattered. On the Hot 100 dated Sept. 6, T.I. soared 71-1 with "Whatever You Like" and last week he broke his own record when he sprinted 80-1 with "Live Your Life." . . . Spears' massive leap to No. 1 is spurred by first-week digital download sales of 286,000, the biggest opening-week tally by a female artist since Nielsen SoundScan began tracking digital downloads in 2003, besting Mariah Carey's take for "Touch My Body" by just over 200 units . . . In between her nearly 10-year gap between No. 1s, Spears has placed four other top 10s on the Hot 100, the last being "Gimme More," the first single from her last album, "Blackout." That song jumped 68-3 last October with first-week download sales of 179,000. "Womanizer" previews Spears' sixth studio set "Circus," due Dec. 2 http://www.billboard.biz/bbbiz/content_dis...da13ab19f781280
October 15, 200816 yr It's amazing. :wub: However, 2 #1s and 4 Top 10s in 10 years? She doesn't seem particularly big in the US for some reason? She's surely done that in a single year in the UK.

October 15, 200816 yr She's a big album seller but her singles tend to flop :( That's funny because here she is the opposite, or at least has been in the past. More a singles artist than album.
October 15, 200816 yr AHHH THIS HAS TOTALLY MADE MY DAY! :lol: FREAKIN AWESOME! I'm so glad she finally managed another #1 single and this definitely deserves it!!
October 15, 200816 yr Indeed, she sells a lot more albums in the US than singles, unlike the UK. Fantastic news, b**ch is back!
October 15, 200816 yr Brilliant news :wub: :w00t: So glad she finally done it :w00t: Well deserved. Number one album next :D
