Releasing singles costs money and promoting them to radio costs money. She's selling 12k every week. It's going to take YEARS for her to get to 1.5M at this rate. lmao. That is true (the first part) but even so theyre still saving a lot of money by her not promoting. A LOT of money! 800k to go and yes, it would take her a bit to get there but if BTI and TS attract people to buy her album her sales could go up a lot and carry her to 1.3-1.5 easily. Would you want to buy an album from a crazy unfit mother? Who even said TS was getting released? She's going to sell 1M tops. You can quote me on that.

Like to have the last word much?
I agree to disagree.
As for TS, I know its not confirmed, I said previously 'if it got released'.

I just can not believe how delusional yall are.
Like you guys expect her to be magically better so soon and she'll shoot a video and this album will do well and the next single is going to be a hit and blah blah blah.
It's not going to happen. I hate to bring your hopes down but it's just not. This girl almost died (yes, I know it wasn't a suicide attempt but had things gone the way they were going, she wouln't be here too much longer). It's going to take a LOONNGGG time for her to recover. It's going to take a LONG time for people to get over this whole mess.
Instead of hoping for the album/single to be a success, let's hope she goes away (to Kentwood, preferably) and stays there for a while and gets everything back in place.

Jen, stop acting like you are right all the time. You said UUH would flop and it went to #1 on Pop radio.

UUH did flop.
I didn't know that they were going to ship boat loads of payola to get it to #1.
Did her album sales explode? Nope. Did her downloads explode? Nope.

For me its about equal. However, this is FAR more radio friendly.

She sold over 1 million in downloads, great airplay on a LOT of formats including POP and Hot AC, and top 10 on the Hot 100. No way is that a flop. People downloaded the song cause they were interested, payola doesn't do that. And albums sales have no place in the equation of a song flopping or not. But even still they did shoot up cause she was off the chart for awhile and went back to the top 50 and kept selling for a long time.. she hasnt been off the chart since.
Songs start off weak and then explode, happens quite often actually. Plus she had the promo of the JT tour that helped as well.
And me talking about BTI or her album sales has nothing to do with me wanting her to get better. Im talking about BTI and Blackout cause they are currently out right now so its obviously a topic for discussion. I hope she keeps making progress and I still hope for her singles and album to be a success.

It was a flop until the payola kicked in and it became a hit. 1M downloads for a #1 Pop song? Most definitely the lowest total for a #1 pop song. Wait, Who Knew probably takes that title. lmao. Whatever. I'm over this discussion.

One million downloads isn't payolla. Even if U + Ur Hand had all the Payolla in the world, people loved the song enough to buy it. I do think payolla was used initially but once it took off, it was off and on its way to number one. Now back to Britney.
Too think BTI will be a big hit. But not with the support of Britney. She's too much of a mess. The songs are great, the album is great but no she will not be behind it as she is UNWELL. It's asking too much too soon of her. Her brake down as Luis has said, MAJOR. I too think she would have been dead within the month had she not gotten help. She now needs all the help and time in the world to heal. And she needs to maintain it afterwards. She could easily go back to this mental state. She needs help and her family around her. And her boys, when she is more able. I think this girl is just great but right now she needs all of our support and prayers.
Luis you don't have to love her, but please, just don't post here if you're going to be such a bitch about it all. Love ya man but this girl's issues are some serious shit. If and I'm pretty sure, she has a mental disorder, it is not of her own doing. The best she can do for herself is get help. She IS to blame for that, (for not getting this help for the past year) but now she seems to be on the right path. It takes so much guts and dents your pride to hell and back to realise you have a problem this serious. Now that it has been addressed, I'm hoping the princess of pop can make it back to a healthy frame of mind, with joint custody of her children again, being a great mother and one day, picking up from where she left off after Blackout, with her music career.

76 65 BRITNEY SPEARS Break The Ice 183 92 91 6.227 Bullet went down a bit. But I wouldn't worry just yet. It still needs to go for adds. I just can't believe 183 spins puts you in at #65!

lol, its pretty sad.
and yeah, its number for "last weeks spins" went from a 65 yesterday to a 92 today, so it wasnt going to see such a big increase.
its getting added at new stations everyday, lol. i check on yes.com a couple of times lately and theres stations ive never seen/heard of playing BTI, so im guessing it recently got added there. 13 pop stations currently playing.
