Britney Spears Isn’t On The Down-Slope

Geoff Mayfield, director of sales charts at the record trade magazine Billboard tells Sean Piccoli of the South Florida Sun-Sentinel that while other teen pop groups have slid off in popularity, Britney Spears has held up pretty well. “I think [Spears] has done a great job of keeping her senses about her,” says Mayfield. “She doesn’t mind some of the backbiting and teasing about her. She’s capitalizing on it.” Pollstar editor-in-chief Gary Bongiovanni added, “She is not on the down-slope.”
