Truth be told I'm not expecting it at the BBMAs. Not because it doesn't make sense—it makes perfect sense, and that's why it won't debut. I don't want to call her career in a state of disrepair, but she's so far beyond giving a f**k and her team doesn't really seem to care about racking up commercial hits either so much as producing music for the sake of keeping her in the "steady making money" zone of relevancy. That, and Billboard would probably hype the living s**t out of it if they knew she was debuting her new single. That's guaranteed ratings. Guaranteed ratings? Doubt it. Even if we give S&S full hit status - that's almost 4 years. Sadly WB with all the hype came and went in an instant. You act like the public doesn't know her without a hit to tell them who she is. This is Britney Spears, the last living legend. Slap a "comeback single" angle on it and hype up the fact that this is the first live, solo performance since 2007, and yeah, you've got ratings. A good angle would have been mutually beneficial for both of them, honestly.

A pre-recorded mess of a performance to promote a single that not even her stans wanted, and ratings hit a 14-year high. Icon. Now, that Iggy Azalea single nobody wanted flopping is a completely different story, but anyone with a brain knew that releasing that during her peak backlash was a bad move.

Britney Releasing a song with Iggy at anytime would have been a bad move! Lol

I doubt the song is coming before the BBMA appearance regardless. Isn't she just performing her old hits? If they're smart, they'll use the hype from her performance (assuming its amazing) and then do a big press release for the single/album after like what they did for "Circus". This is what I think they're doing. Not a bad idea.

holy cow, I was excited when I thought she was doing a medley and then her new single but since that's not happening, Pretty cool she's opening the shows.

It's great that she's opening the show! Much less great that it doesn't seem like the new single will be a part of that. >.>

Honestly, there have been moments where a big star surprises us, notably Taylor Swift, or tells us the day of, like Justin Bieber "Sorry", and I honestly don't think opening up with nothing new isn't really going to make the crowd speak. Wait until May 22nd. Miley surprised us too. Britney will. Here's a quote from YouTube... YouTube Britney Spears is Opening the 2016 Billboard Music Awards (Commercial)
Matías Miguel Della Vecchia just perfoming her greatest hits with no new single is like an statement that she's just a has been. :( 2 hours ago•
MadonnaDelRey She's perforning her new single too.:) 58 minutes ago

(Potentially) one week to go! I still think she's gonna present the Millenium Award and open with a greatest hits medley, but ultimately some sort of "Make Me" promotion/sample/potential performance will happen...

I more than anyone would like a release and performance of a new single, But over the last ten years I have found myself disappointed over and over again, from bad performances( anything starting with circus and ending with femme fatale). That I will be happy with her showcasing the Britney from days gone by bye, but how cool would it be if she performed a new song on top of her form on a big stage?
Tha back of my mind I say it's going to happen but realistically it's Britney and she's a bitch

To be fair, Mariah is still alive, and Madonna is still (kinda) there.

There are no more living legends because everyone who could have been considered has gained weight from their peak. There we go, problem solved. Now accept this reality or else.

Can someone find an actual radio insider somewhere to put us out of our misery. Is this happening on Friday or not?

^Would they even know though? Wasn't Rihanna's Work delivered a day or two after it was said a "superstar release" was coming?

But that's just not Britney's team's usual style. Then again, neither is a major award show promo slot. IDK, I think there are a couple of people here associated with RCA in some way. There must be some kind of rumblings if it's actually happening.

There's no point in anyone else releasing music though, as amazing as Can't Stop The Feeling is.
