Update November 1: New York Times bestselling author Britney Spears is celebrating moving over 1 million copies of her book in one week of sales. “I poured my heart and soul into my memoir, and I am grateful to my fans and readers around the world for their unwavering support,” Spears said in a statement released by Simon & Schuster (obtained by AP). The Woman in Me has sold 1.1 million copies in the U.S. in its first week of release. While Spears erroneously claimed her book was the highest-selling celeb memoir of all time (at the very least, Prince Harry has her beat), it’s still big-big book sales.
