Britney Spears new album ‘Blackout‘ is the number one album in the country after its first week or release.  It sold 350,000 copies and was able to hold off the sophomore effort of country sensation Carrie Underwood.

“Blackout” remains the No. 1 downloaded album on iTunes and the fifth bestselling CD on Amazon.com. Spears could have a good second week as well, while she awaits the Nov. 13 release of Alicia Key’s anticipated blockbuster, “As I Am.” At that point, “Blackout” will likely be over unless a new single captivates radio listeners.

 The Blackout numbers, though, are severely down from Spears’s last release. When “In the Zone” was released in 2003, it sold 609,000 copies in its first week.

Look for Underwood’s album ‘Carnival Ride‘ to sell more albums overall than ‘Blackout’ when all is said and done.
