BRITNEY BEATS BARBIE IN BACK-TO-SCHOOL SHOPPING



NEW YORK (Wireless Flash) – In the battle of back-to-school shopping trends, Britney Spears is creaming Barbie. That’s according to a new survey by America’s Research Group which shows twice as many kids are asking for school gear featuring Spears’ face as are asking for pencils and notebooks with Barbie on them. Just over 12 percent want the pop music icon on their backpacks, compared to only 6 percent who want Barbie. Here’s how the rest of the popularity poll breaks down... Around 8 percent of kids want school gear with NASCAR logos on it. 7 percent like ’N Sync stuff. 5.5 percent are boffo for Backstreet Boys paraphernalia.
