When Eamon's F**k It, and Puddle of Mudds She F**kin Hates Me were huge hits, I don't think any stations are going to simply not play this song. All they're going to do is play the edit version and I think the edit version is going to make people so curious and download it from itunes. The censorship could actually help it in my opinion. Either way, word of mouth and curiosity will make this song huge alone. you do realize that beyond the internet community of music people, nobody really cares enough to be curious about why a song is edited or even know that it is edited at all, right? People are not going to be curious about it being censored and go buy it. most people will not even notice because either way it makes no sense at all! The two examples you gave are nothing like this song. The took out the curse word....awesome. this song never actually uses the word but instead plays almost on the subconscious. and for people saying not to censor it because not everyone will notice. that is even more ridiculous. only one person has to notice for it to be wrong.

I don't think this song should be censored. I'm also fairly confident that it won't be. Seriously, Jive has done EVERYTHING right this era; they must have realized that this song would be a huge smash but that it might need a radio edit. I bet they contacted the FCC to ensure it was alright or something. Either way, I love this song as it is and I will not be listening to any radio edit :)

No man i have talked to thinks that kind of voice is attractive. So what? You haven't talked to every man on the planet. I think her voice is incredibly sexy, and I'm sure there are thousands of men out there who would agree with me.

You're asking for updates on this already?! It's only just been announced. You should hardly expect stations to start playing it now. Circus has only been on radio for 6 weeks!

Yeah this likely won't go for adds until April. Late March at the earliest.

I heard that some stations we're already playing this, so you can back off bud, just asking if there was any airplay figures for this song. I am fully supportive of the song CIRCUS, as I request the song everyday, and enjoy watching it continue to climb on medibase.

I jus had a crazy idea. I think Britney should perform this at the Grammy's singing live in a school girl outfit and a flesh covered mike and victoria secret model's.

As much as I love this song, and wanted it to be a single, I think Jive should rethink this. There are already a number of stations that have said they wont add it.

It seems to me like most of the stations have said they won't add it without running it by the FCC first to see what needs to be done censorship-wise. I don't think too many have said that they flat out won't add it, could be wrong though.

Well, I highly doubt a lot of the conservative stations in the south will add it regardless. I'll see if I can find some articles, but there were a few stations that did say they wouldn't add it because of how blatantly its spelled and they wouldn't add it if it was censored cause it would seem redundant. I know a few said their licenses are more important that adding a Britney song. They can't risk losing their license just because the song is hot.

I got it immediately. But my two older cousins did not, and I had to explain it to them.

If U Seek Amy = i F U SEE(= C) KME. She's saying everyone's begging to do her. Does that clarify anything? lol ???

Why are people jumping out and saying that radio won't play this? If this has an edit, radio play it. There have been a lot of radio edits to songs in the past. I dunno why everyone is making such a big deal about it ???

I think regardless of an edit or not, radio will eat this up. At least a top 10 hit here, at least.

What is the hidden meaning in this title?
She Sold Her System
If you say it out loud, it is "almost as funny as Britney Spears "If U Seek Amy"" says the iTunes review for the CD it comes from.

That makes no sense. She isn't even saying it. You are allowed to say words that sound like the actual word.
