Alien would seriously flop harder than ANY song she's released since I Wanna Go. I just don't understand.
But at this point, anything would flop so.

Alien isn't my favorite track on the album like many of the fans, but I do love it and I'm excited for it to be released next if it is indeed the third single. I hope that it can turn into a bigger hit than "Perfume" has managed.

I Wanna Go was the only FF single to go #1 on pop radio. I'd love a flop of those proportions!! Alien would flop. So would pretty much anything else, which is why I would like to see something of substance released. If it's over, let's at least put out the best quality tracks. Til It's Gone does fit the criteria as well, and may have a better shot at success.

Omg seriously change your tampons. The hype the collaborations got (both the S&M remix and the Femme Fatale remix of TTWE) is what this era needs and is lacking. There's no excitement. There's no real social media frenzy at the moment. People want something more, they want to see their favorite pop star play with other pop stars. That's why most times the top of the charts are occupied by a joint effort (Eminem, Rihanna - Monster) (Pitbull, Ke$ha - Timber). Collaborations make a difference, even if it is a hot mess. It's all about the combined star power. I do agree that it shouldn't be a rushed effort but what can you do? As a fan you can only hope for the best and a collaboration would be a step in the right direction. Well that and some live televised performances.

The only song rumored to be getting the remix treatment is SMS (Bangerz) and that's a radio mix version before it gets shipped off as the fourth single. Then again that could just be speculation along with The GaGa/Britney ARTPOP Part 2 collaboration following the mysterious tweet a few months back.

The problem here is that work bitch was (and is) a really bad song, and that killed all the buzz (a buzz that make a pretty bad song like Scream and shout being a success). Perfume is a meh song, and to return to the good path she needs a song that screams hit waiting to happen. The truth is her femme fatale songs were far better than anything she released after that. A good song is not guarantie of anything, Criminal and Radar flopped and If you seek amy has a lot less success than it deserved, but she shines in that type of melody.
Anyway, if there's somebody who has not problem in resurface after a bunch of flops is her (and Rihanna of course). Even if she can't get a hit from this album (let's be honest, the perspectives were pretty bad from the beginning, with no tour, Work bitch not doing its job and bad fist week sales of the album) she will be able to make a collaboration that will put her on the map again and increase the buzz till her next album

Work Bitch was fine (imo), it was a strong lead single despite it's obnoxious lyrics. She should have promoted it better. (VMA's, EMA's, AMA's) so many missed opportunities. I mean Miley Cyrus hopped on stage and was a hot mess on several occasions but she still promoted her work and got people talking, although she borderlines on desperation.

And here is the (my) final update. Figures that it would make across-the-board gains, however slight. :'( (the bullet is more than slight, but it's still way above a negative weekly one).

This should definitely be the last update. With different songs being tested on radio stations around the world, this song's only purpose at this point is to be a placeholder until the 3rd single comes.

Going with something other than 'It Should Be Easy' next makes zero sense.

2 out of 4 biggest radiostations in Poland are playing ISBE as the next single. I think it's confirmed it's 3rd single here.

Makes sense since will is huge overseas.
Honestly I still, selfishly, want 'Passenger'. Whatever they go with it most likely going to bomb so really why the hell not? It could really seal the deal on the whole "Britney can sing" thing they tried to do with this era.

Honestly, it should be 'Til It's Gone' and 'Passenger' in whatever order - both should be smashes and either would be a great lead-in to the other. If they're going with things like 'Alien' and 'It Should Be Easy' then this era is probably gonna be a complete write-off (I mean it's not yet but the way they're going...)

People here, seem to like ISBE much more than Perfume and Work Bitch. It went on high rotation the day it debuted. That didn't happen with work bitch and Perfume was hardly never played on radio. It will do good here, not sure about US.
