Britney Spears' sixth studio album, "Circus," is on track to debut at No. 1
on The Billboard 200 next week, as the Jive set will lead Nielsen SoundScan's
Building chart when it is released later today (Dec. 3).
稍早時JIVE唱片發佈，依據Nielsen SoundScan系統的計算方式，
布蘭妮昨天發行的第六張專輯"Circus"已經是這禮拜專輯榜的準冠軍。

Unweighted first-day sales of "Circus" through the close of business
yesterday stood at 219,000. Billboard estimates the eight merchants who
report to Nielsen SoundScan's Building chart -- Trans World Entertainment,
Best Buy, Circuit City, iTunes, Starbucks, Borders, Target and Anderson
Merchandisers -- comprise about 80% of all U.S. album sales.
Billboard估計第一日的八個大通路的銷量約莫是21萬9千張，佔了當日美國專輯銷售量的百分之八十。

Sources close to the project suggest that "Circus" could move as much as
450,000 in its first week.
有來源指出這張專輯首周銷售量應該可以賣出約45萬張。

If "Circus" arrives atop the tally, it will be Spears' fifth No. 1 album.
Among female artists, only four have racked up more chart-toppers: Barbra
Streisand (eight), Madonna (seven) and Mariah Carey and Janet Jackson (both
with six).
如果 "Circus"這張專輯可以如願得到第一名寶座，這將會是布蘭妮的第五張冠軍專輯。
史上女歌手的銷售紀錄中，只有四位也同樣有5張以上的冠軍專輯
分別是芭芭拉史翠珊（八張）、瑪丹娜（七張）、瑪利亞凱莉（六張）、珍那傑克森（六張）
以布蘭妮的年紀來說（27’s），超越這些人只是遲早的事情。
