"I don't see the logic! "

Volume. The logic is that Britney will sell more. Shelf space costs money and Britney's space costs less per album because she sells more. The stores don't care if old albums sell, they just want albums to move. This is why I drove to six different stores looking for "Big Horizon" by David Wilcox before I finally found it. . . and he's not even really that obscure. I could have used Amazon, but I just had to have the album immediately.
