Britney Spears, Rihanna, Shakira, Adam Lambert, Susan Boyle releasing albums in same week

Britney Spears, Rihanna, Shakira, Adam Lambert and Susan Boyle will release new albums the week of Nov. 23 vying for the number one spot. 

Rihanna’s album “Rated R” will likely debut at number one.  This is the singer’s first album since the infamous Chris Brown incident. 

Everyone is rooting for Rihanna to come back on top.  Plus, her new song “Russian Roulette” has caused a little controversy because of the lyrical content.  We all know controversy sells.

Britney Spears’ “The Singles Collection” will probably debut at number two.

Although its a greatest hits CD, the lip-synching performer is still enormously popular.  Fans who attended her recent Circus Tour will probably flock to stores to purchase the greatest hits package.
