MOTM I dont think would work. Sometimes we need to be objective. Invitation is my favorite from Glory but it aint single material. Neither are Private Show nor Clumsy... Yesss. So agree with this. So many fans push their favourites rather than what's sensible. Like, If I'm Dancing and Man On The Moon are my favs but would flop. I feel like the *only* songs that would sound ok on 2016 radio would be Slumber Party and Just Luv Me.

From Billboard: He said the following about Britney: "You think that there might be this diva-ish personality with somebody of that level, but she was just so normal, it's crazy."

And of course last night is one of the only times I've heard it on radio. Leave it to my stations to give me false hope when it's already dead.

Honestly I try really hard not to do that. But I still don't see how MOTM is not hook for hook the catchiest on the album? It's got like two hooks before you even get to the hooky chorus (that intro and pre-chorus). The lyrics would also be relatable to a wide audience, unlike a lot of the songs which are lyrically for the gays if we're being honest. I feel what you described is what's happened with DYWCO. It's clearly a lot of people's fav here, but we also mostly represent Brit's gay fans and I think objectively that song is iffy at best with its appeal outside that demo. And sadly we are not enough to make it smash on our own.

Question-- why do people keep saying that DYWCO's lyrics are specifically for gays? I get it that some people would use it on Grindr, but... do straight people not ask others to come over? I'm gay and I can't remember the last time I asked someone to come over...
It's got a hot beat and a sexy delivery from Britney. Isn't that what the general public wants?

All I see it as is Brit's Netflix and Chill anthem.

I don't see the lyrics being directly for gays, but I can't imagine it being played anywhere outside of a gay club. It has a campy, barely there chorus and it'll flop. Love Me Down. Why is this so hard? The hit is literally sitting right there. Track 10. On the regular edition.

I think the ultimate problem of "Make Me" was that it didn't have a chorus people can sing along.

Sort of LOLing at this getting sucked back into the Top 20 again, and then had a fairly good day yesterday apparently. Maybe the next two weeks will be at least ok prior to the iHeartRadio show. Meanwhile now #48 on iTunes and #85 on Spotify. Oh well, I'm all here for a slow decline (at least on radio) until they decide on single #2.

To me a slow decline means she's not radio poison yet so I guess I will take it. I sound like a broken record but this song is a slow burner especially being that's it's Britney. Usually when people think of Britney they think of a dance song. I can think of 4 different people when first hearing "Make Me" was looking at me like "what is this"????

I think the ultimate problem of "Make Me" was that it didn't have a chorus people can sing along. I agree that was a hindrance that only recently occurred to me. Unless you're a great singer, it's almost impossible to sing along to the chorus and not sound a bit like a dying cat. That key is definitely a no m'am for my voice. Kinda like how James Corden sounded on it on Carpool Karaoke, while she was over there totally silent. She for sure should never ever attempt that bit live, lol.
