Spears scores No. 1 on Billboard with new album

Britney Spears flies in at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart with her sixth chart-topping album, "Femme Fatale," selling 276,000 copies in its first week, according to Nielsen SoundScan. The feat ties her for the third-most No. 1s among women with Mariah Carey and Janet Jackson. Only Barbra Streisand (9) and Madonna (7) have earned more No. 1s. Spears has hit the top with six out of her seven studio albums, only missing with 2007's "Blackout."
