"Best Thing I Never Had" hanging in at No. 20- after the disappointment of 'Run the World," nice to see Queen B. getting a semi-decent hit from the album. "I'm into You" at No. 62- while hardly the summer "smash" some thought it would be (in both airplay and sales), it should at least outdo its initial No. 72 peak on the Hot 100. Maybe the divorce buzz is boosting it.  |

Especially when I Wanna Go is such a basic song. So LFn and Party Rock Anthem are smashing because they're critically praised revolutionary songs? Never said that, IWG is just boring IMO. I don't see why Britney fans are so infatuated with it, so I'm not surprised that it's had the hardest time trying to enter the top 10 thus far. Yeah yeah I know it's her third single, but a number of other songs on her album probably would have at least entered for a few days by now. |

Lighters passed IWG and it was #12 for a minute and then pushed Jason Aldean back to #12 to be #11 again. lol It's holding on to that #11 spot.

IWG has finally entered the top ten. And the RHCP just released their new single w/c is #14 already. I guess #11 again for IWG in a few hours. lol |

IWG is in the same vein as HIAM&TTWE,so I really don't see a difference,but I do respect you opinion on it being boring.

I find her vocals to be absolutely vacant and indistinguishable from that of a computer's in IWG. And as it is similar to TTWE in production and melody, it is quite repetitive and overall an uneccessary release. |

I mean anyone could tell it was always going to be the third single. :( |

When it comes to Britney, I don't think anyone can complain. I don't hate her, so don't call me a hater. It's just that she's been around so long, that we know what she's capable of. We know not to expect something amazing vocally, so it's really up to what's in the background. What got me on TTWE is that Oh oh oh part.
HIAM and this I can't stand. But the singles from Blackout were all good. I think Break the Ice is one of her best songs. I don't really expect anything, and I wonder how long this could go on. Her sales clearly have declined, and I wanna know when she's gonna put a stop to it or at least change things up to reignite interest.

So, I say this as someone who has enjoyed much of her last 3 albums, but Britney's vocals have been indistinguishable from a computer for the past 5 years now. |

Listen to: the Heaven on Earth demo, Ooh Ooh Baby, Let Go, State of Grace, Circus, Shattered Glass, Unusual You, Blur, My Baby, Inside Out, Trouble for Me, Criminal, He About to Lose Me (the verses), etc. Then listen to 3 & IWG & you'll see what I mean. All of her songs are heavily processed, obviously. But IWG doesn't even sound human for the most part. Still love Britney though. |

She's usually had a robotic, sorta emotionless voice. But, yeah, it's become even moreso in recent years.
Nonetheless, the last album kickstarted an impressive run of chart hits (excluding "Radar," of course).

The top 10 exposure really helped the song, #5 to #8 are all so close. Get it Brit!

Lighters is back in the top 5! The increased airplay really did wonders this song
California King Bed is #24, I hope it can crack the top 20. I really want it to at least reach the top 40 on the Hot 100.
