Bottom right photo on last page looks incredible. I have no earthly idea why her team didn't use these for the promotion material when they are infinitely better than what we got. I assume it was an issue with LaChapelle not wanting to hand over the rights after the fallout with her team, but I guess they finally agreed on a price for the reissue (or he got over it).
She looks great in her BDay photo too!

1. So the digital version of GH does NOT include MR, but the hot cover basic version does?
2. And SITS is only a vinyl or digital single release?
Help me figure out the ‘logic’ of these various releases.

I’m really becoming obsessed with SITS. It’s the catchiest thing she’s released since Work Bitch at least, possibly even since Til The World Ends.

My understanding is that Mood Ring, Swimming in the Stars, and Matches will all be on the digital Glory deluxe reissue when it's released with the same cover featured on the vinyl release of the album.

I caved and got the vinyl. It's on my top 100 essential albums list and I would rather spring $40 now than several hundred when the limited edition runs out.
Happy Early X-Mas to me!!!!!
Maybe I will PayPal Credit Mariah's entire catalog to myself

Looking at that album hot sheet, it's criminal that B: In The Mix Vol. 2 majorly outcharted Vol. 1 when it was the first one that actually had effort put into it.

Even with an unreleased song Britney never disappoints musically!! SWTS is beautiful and I love that acapella clip, her studio vocals are so underrated.
I hope when Britney finds freedom and happiness she also finds her way back to music and the passion she has for it.

That photo shoot is everything. Dare I cave for the vinyl? I need to know if Britney supports this or not (I feel like she doesn’t). 😩

Ok well I tried to make a thread for “Matches” in the non-single discussion forum but someone put a stop to that. It leaked.
Edit: please do not PM me asking for it.

If they have an exclusive deal with Urban Outfitters, why has the vinyl been selling in other retailers? I guess that her team is focusing on vinyl for the first week until the album is available on DSPs this Friday, which is a dumb move honestly.

It's leaked in HQ though. I'm not really sold on some of the production choices (it has two completely different drops?) but if the stems ever leak it'll be relatively easy to clean up. All the pieces of a good song are there, they're just not put together well.

No no I believe you lol, I think you're right and I just mixed up the exclusivity of the "Swimming In the Stars" vinyl with the Glory re-issue. It's totally my mistake.

I stupidly did not buy the Glory vinyl today at the mall (The Rock Shop) when I was stunned a place was actually selling it. It was $31.99.
I did however pick up Blackout on vinyl finally from UO. Was $27 but worth it <3 That cover is actually brilliant in person lol.

If they have an exclusive deal with Urban Outfitters, why has the vinyl been selling in other retailers? I guess that her team is focusing on vinyl for the first week until the album is available on DSPs this Friday, which is a dumb move honestly. It's for sure a dumb move. Just like realeasing "Swimming" in the afternoon of her birthday, enough to lose the opportunity to have an integrated Spotify player with the song on all the web articles or the mention of the release (editorial staff had more or less already written it or published it in the morning). It seems that her management team does not have always control of her Instagram account, because there was no mention on it. But they have access to her Twitter account. It wouldn't have taken a superhuman effort to retweet @pandoramusic, @spotifyus, @deezer and @amazonmusic with a funny or cute caption (like Taylor Swift did last year for her christmas song). It certainly wouldn't have turned the song into a big hit in streaming, but at least we would have had a less "mechanical" promotion on her social networks and there would have been a little extra attention on the song. Update: it seems that the contents available in "Fleet" by her management are also in her Instagram story + feed today (12/11). Is this a way from her to "accept" this release?

We know for sure her management team does not have control of her Instagram account, because there was no mention on it. But they have access to her Twitter account. The former is not entirely true to be honest. Although there wasn't any post from the song on both Instagram and Twitter accounts as you said, the link in both bios were changed from "Mood Ring" to "Swimming In The Stars" during the release date. As a consequence, I guess her team didn't want to post about the track (and wait until the next day on Twitter) because it could have received a backlash if it's considered that some time ago Britney mentioned that she's not going to release anything so far and all of these releases are mainly because of RCA, her label, to fulfill her contractual agreements.

Only 2020 would be THAT bitch of a year (for better or worse) to have a collab between 5 legends...
I heard the leak and have been bopping to that and Swimming In The Stars the past couple of weeks...
This year rivals 2007/2008 being a Britney stan with confusion/releases/hope/sadness etc...
Here's to 2021 for Britney <3

I can’t believe Matches is real?!? I saw a thread for it on another board but it was only a rumor at that point. I shrugged it off because why would BSB and Britney collab now?!? It would have made more sense at the height of their careers back in the early 2000’s. Imagine my surprise when I opened up the new release playlist on Spotify, and there it was!!! 15 year old me was screaming, and it is a bop! Is this a new recording or is it from the vault? Britney sounds like her old self here.

Matches is a great song. I wish it would have been the start of a new era but I'll take what we can get nowadays.
