UK Chart Roundup: Major Britney Spears Fail

Weaveney Spears got her wig handed to hear in a Trenta-sized frappuccino cup today when Bruno Mars' "Grenade" spent a second week atop the UK chart while new singles from Adele, Diddy - Dirty Money and Wretch 32 all debuted higher than "Hold It Against Me" (#6). Here in the States the song is currently #1 on the Billboard Hot 100.

Initially Sony didn't have the Weaved One's latest slated for release in the UK until the end of February. The label then rushed "Hold It Against Me" onto UK iTunes after it topped the digital download store's charts in 17 other countries. Oops!...Maybe They Should Have Waited Until Wigney Was Available For In-Person Promotion After All (Again)

Here are how Extensionney's lead singles off her studio album's have charted so far in the UK:

* "...Baby One More Time" (#1)
* "Oops!...I Did It Again" (#1)
* "I'm A Slave 4 U" (#4)
* "Me Against The Music" (#2)
* "Gimme More" (#3)
* "Womanizer" (#3)
* "Hold It Against Me" (#6)

At least Weaveney can breathe a sigh of relief over not doing disastrous as Avril Lavigne, who hobbles into the chart at #29 with "What The Hell" like a knock-kneed hooker whose left foot was blown off by a land mine while her right one is permanently wrapped around her neck.

Speaking of which, here's the "What The Hell Video," which leaked this weekend:



Nice cameo by Mama Lavigne at 1:57. And I'll take the boyfriend if you don't want him, Av.
