Andrew Kuttler first heard Britney Spears’ new album online two weeks before its release but that didn’t stop him from purchasing a in-store copy of the album. University students and Lawrence music stores took a blast to the past last week with new releases from вЂ90s pop icons Britney Spears and the Backstreet Boys. While some were skeptical of the artists’ attempts to make new music, fans rushed to stores to buy Spears’ latest offering.

According to Billboard, “Blackout” debuted at No. 2 on the Billboard 200 with 290,000 copies sold, while the Backstreet Boys’ “Unbreakable” debuted at No. 7 with 81,000 sold. Both albums were released Oct. 30.
