I dont care much for the DVD cover, but what irks me most is that awful trailer they have used... is that seriously the best she gave at the shows? it just looks like shes hardly trying or anything, and even if she did give lackluster performances im sure better editing could have disguised it better, i have a theory that her team are trying to sabotage her career lol

Those VEVO emails are bull s**t! i highly doubt you can email them and they will respond with the date for a video, when the artist/their team hasnt even announced the date yet... hmmmm it doesnt sound right to me! - until any of this has been on Britney's Twitter/Facebook i refuse to believe any of it! For i wanna and TTWE Vevo mails were correct ;) well it was probably just coincidence/good guess. we know it will come out next week really, just picking a date is easy... also look at the email, you can see clearly that it has been edited in!

Ok guys i know its been disputed alot, but the reason i think she tends to act boring in interviews that are televised is because (i know this sounds silly but) she is still under the conservatorship and her mental health is being observed by the courts and judge to see if she is mentally well. remember she was being held in a psych ward.. well if she acts like her self like in 2003 she is really weird and appears to be crazy back then, like pulling faces at the camera and being goofy and so forth, well if she does that now it could be used as evidence against her that she is mentally unwell, and the conservatorship might be extended, so she is playing it safe and trying to get done with all this court stuff as soon as possible.... what are your guys take on that?
also what are your thoughts on its UK chart run after I Wanna Flop? i hope it goes top ten, which i know is a bit of wishful thinking but... that would bring her UK top ten hits up to 22, god i cant believe shes had so many here.. I just hope it gets played alot because the promo she did over here didnt effect her album sales much, well it didnt return to the top 100

Not a bad choice. I like this song a lot, but I would have gone for Bang Bang Bang or Whiplash. I'm just surprised Hollywood Records gave her a third single. I don't remember a HR artist having a 3rd single ever, not counting promo or soundtrack singles. i know right, there has been so much promo for this album though shes definately top priority at HR, and yeah no one really ever gets a third single, even the big sellers like Miley or Hilary back in their heyday. the only other instance i can think of is that Demi's first album got 3 singles, but to be honest, with this album i was hoping for them to wait until november release a brand new single and re-release the album with three or four new songs and cash in on 4th quarter sales, especially since Selena is the type of act to benefit from this alot, IE kids wanting the CD for christmas..

She tweeted the lyrics to hit the lights and a photo of her on her new music video set, so it seems almost definate that this will be her single... how do you see this faring on radio? what about hot100 predictions?

also that article about her managemment taking over the questions is obviously true, because watch that swedish interview again, he fires in 'do you feel comfrotable in this interview or when you do interviews' she responds quickly with ' yes' and he says 'coz im thinking do you ever feel overprotected by the people around you' -- which is obviously a dig at her or her management securing what questions can be asked.... she then responds 'no because im here right now' AND if you listen closely you can hear a womans voice say 'ok thats it thanks' almost immediately after he said that, thats why his interview was shortened to 8.44 and not 15 minutes all because he asked a question that wasnt on the script, i mean somethings up seriously
does anybody esle notice this? please respond...

I really think it's not quite that deep. I don't think Britney likes to do interviews, so especially when she is doing many at once, she gets really over it really fast. I'm with the poster who said this was probably the last one in the long string of interviews over there. She probably looks to her management like an ok now this is when you need to pull me away I'm totally over this kind of thing. I can't believe she did THAT much European promo anyway. I wonder what they bribed her with. Clearly whatever it was wasn't enough to get her through that last interview. Lol i think it is quite deep that sweedish interview was just embarrasing i mean looking at her management every 2 seconds, and why is she even in a conservatorship anyway those are for people who really do lack the mental skills to make basic decisions and are usually used for people who are on life suppor or in a coma, i think there is something seriously wrong here, and plus even if it was the last interview on a busy day no other artist would be so rude and act like that, its like her management are forcing her to be there and shes looking over every 2 seconds saying please let me finish and go, i think once she is released from the conservatorship we will get her old self back but atm its like her management is forcing her what to say, and its just not fair

Im sorry but that swedish interview was PATHETIC i mean after every question (which were really interesting) she would look past the camera at i imagine either her manager or publicist as if she is reading off of que cards or something, or as if to say is this interview over yet, i mean she could at least act interested or engaged in the questions and interview, the answers were also unorigional, just barely getting through without really answering the questions, which she has done a lot of this era imo

ok im glad shes come to do promo, but seriously if it was another artist that had a week in london they would have done more, firstly her televised promo's were all 3 - 4 mins in length, giving time for the very basics of 'im here to promote my tour/CD this is the theme of it etc'- with very few other origional questions.. and she wears the same stinky ass outfit in most of them, she looks old for her age and wearing that frilly white shirt just makes her look even more of a wizened old woman! also ive noticed one thing she hasnt done this era even in the US is go on late night talk shows where they can actually chat to her beyond what shes there to promote.... while in london she should have gone on Jonathon Ross and Jools Holland, i dont know why she stays away from these places because they're the biggest promo for artists to go! appearing on those would have easily pushed her album into top 40, i doubt it will even return to the top 100 with that kind of promo!
also LOL at how at the start of this era people were saying her voice is so low she must be sick or have a cold, but its still like that now, i wonder what happened? strange!
i wasnt trying to be mean or anything in that post ( i read it back and it sounds mean) i was just trying to point out that there is so much she could do better imo!

A Criminal performance with live vocals on the X Factor would be what Brit needs to make the UK love her again. That's my only complain with this era. I understand why album sales might be disappointing but I don't understand why her singles also underperform in the UK. Criminal is her favorite song on the album so she might actually give her best for a live TV performance of it. Her management has been good at giving her good promotion this era so an X Factor performance might not be just a wishful thinking. Let's trend it! #BritneyCriminalUKXFactorLive she did a really great performance back in 08 with womanizer on there, however i dont think live vocals will be used at all and im not sure id want them to be. also 'Her management team has been good at giving her good promo this era' WTF shes done like five or six appearences in the US and NON outside the US except for a pre recorded UK interview/backstage look at the show for GMTV, in which she appeared quite awkward to me. i would love a performance on X Factor but i really do think its wishful thinking. i do understand not wanting to do much promo though with her children and everything, she didnt even leave california to promote did she?

Hi guys, just found this on another online forum 'Radio One & Capital FM just announced almost simultaneously that they are adding I Wanna Go to their A-List playlists in preparation for the UK release. Radio One & Capital FM are the two biggest Radio stations in the UK. Earlier in the week presenters have been saying the song is a sure-fire UK #1 smash. The problem with Till The World Ends and Hold It Against Me is that they were NEVER added to the playlist. Only minor stations play these songs often.' It was posted back in June and if it is true i dont know what happened really! i always expected it to be a hit in the UK i mean i dont listen to the radio very often but i do watch music channels and it was on all the time.. i dont get why no one downloaded it, its very strange to me.. :/ can someone please give me some knowledge as to why this flopped so much? i mean it didnt even enter the top 100. i can only think of lack of promotion, but HIAM an TTWE didnt have any promotion either The UK charts are very different in the way that they work. In fact, I find them more accurate as to how the public are responding to the music. Radio is just used as a promoter. A station can spin a song as many times as it wants without having any effect on a song's chart position. Radio in the UK is simply used as a promotion tool. You hear the song, you buy it if you like it. Do you notice how competitive the charts are there? Songs are generally released much later after they premiere over there. The label will set an iTunes date so everyone knows when they can get it. Many songs are released on the same day. So the public buys the song on the date it's release, because of how aware they are prior to the release date. That's why the #1 single alternates almost weekly. Songs have far less longevity. There is more competition. Britney simply didn't have enough promotion, or the radio didn't expose her enough. hi guys i know how it works here in the UK thats were i live!! and i see what your saying, but when a song is added to Radio 1 A list playlist it usually goes top ten, this is cause people will just buy whatever they hear on radio 1 because it is 'cool' lol if it really was added to the A list playlist (which i am doubting at this moment after spending hours going thru forums to which they were discussing that it wasnt added at all) then it should have charted - i mean its not like we hate britney at all her albums have always been certified at least gold, except for FF. and her singles especially her early ones did really well when they didnt do go great in US.... e.g. Toxic number 1 and Everytime number 1. ahh 2004, those were the days. this brings me to my next point (sorry for rambling) britneys first half of her career in singles 1999-2004 did better over here (5 number 1's) and 2007 + holds no number 1's whereas in US 1999-2004 got one number one, but 2007+ got 3 number ones so it seems her career of single success sort of switched over - there wasnt really a point to that just an observation, it fascinates me.

So according to some UK fans, she'll be appearing on OKTV on channel 5. Is that a good promo outlet? no no not at all :O its basically on par with the CW in the US. there are five terrestrial channels in the UK without satelite or cable, thats the worst one i dont know anyone who watches channel five apart from for Celeb big brother.... the big ones are the BBC or ITV, really dissapointed to hear shes goin on channel 5 especially on oktv which ive never heard of... HOWEVER she is coming to the UK in october which means XFactor will be doing live shows by then, hopefully she will do a performance on there that would be amazing, XFactor have been good to her already this year by doing promos to 'live a day like britney spears' which if u win the contest you go to paris to her live show and a nice hotel...

So what does everyone predict Unbroken's 1st week sales to be? i think it will open with around 75,000 copies sold and maybe get a debut spot of no. 3 on the billboard 200.... what do you guys think?
BTW yeah i thought it was strange to put all the collaborations as the first four songs, for me the album will be starting with track 5

i know this is a radio forum and everything but.... dont you guys think that the BBHot100 should be based on sales alone? i mean it doesnt make sense to me to factor in radio plays, in most other countries, in fact every other country i can think of it is based on sales alone... what do you guys think? also this song has far exceeded my expectations of its hot 100 peak i was thinking like 20 at most, glad it did well love it!! I understand what you are saying but I like US' methodology (50/50...or close to it). So that success isn't based on one thing...also glad they include video streaming as well. The methodology in the 90s was annoying...it was 75/25 or something like that and huge hits like 'Torn' 'Men in black' 'Don't speak' etc. didn't even chart on the hot 100. do you mean 75% sales or radio?

to be honest as far as the whole music thing goes, i dont think she'll make another album, yeah she says she has plans for a new CD, but shes been saying that since 2008, and ever since then any time anybody has asked her she goes, its coming, it might take a year or so, i dont think she has the heart to say she wont be making anymore music, but honestly i dont think she'll have another CD out. i hope im wrong though :(
