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. I bet they recorded it in 2017 when they both had residencies at the same venue. I’m not so sure it’s a true glory recording sessions reject.

Matches is okay but does not add anything to the album, imo. However, ANYTHING would have been way better than Private Show anyways, which should have just remained as a commercial song, so I'll take Matches. Moodring and its Pride Remix are still the best additions to the already great album.

I wonder if all of the reissues that they have done digitally and with vinyl have made a huge dent in sales. Last figure I remember it was at 159,000 at the end of 2016.

The fact that they pulled a The Call (Album Version)/The Call (Thunderpuss Remix) with Nick and AJ vocals on Matches, only this time in the first verse (as opposed to The Call's 2nd) is sending me...
Love the song and Swimming In The Stars SO much and makes Glory better!

Matches is #1 in Canada. Hopefully it can make it to #1 in the USA on iTunes.

Court Hearing today.
Before the court hearing, Britney's side had asked for an extension regarding the accounting of Britney's financing for a "discovery phase". There's been multiple, questionable things found when her were going through some the accounting, so this is to basically allow more time to gather what is needed. Of course, her father's side objects but the judge sided with Britney's side.
The Court hearing today was basically to decide on future court hearing dates/deadlines
Also, this instagram comment from Courtney Love regarding Britney's situation has been circulating around twitter:

I didn't really care for Matches (it feels like a reject), but when I played the entire album on through my good speakers the other night, I actually think I get it now. I'm still not obsessed, but I could see it a being a cute little hit under different circumstances.

Iconic. Impactful. Classic.
Hasn’t been a better album since.

Her old songs have such potential even today. An episode of "Diary of a Song" by The New York Times with Max Martin could be a very great idea. Also an episode of "Song Exploder" on Netflix. Britney and her music has often been labeled as "manufactured". This kind of interviews would show that she was also involved in the creative process of her songs (maybe not, and for reasons that are her own and for which she doesn't have to justify herself, on all her albums). It's time to re-establish the prestige of pop music from the early 2000s.

They are good but there is so much potential since her catalogue of songs is so good!

Just ordered the pink vinyl of BOMT and also the deluxe edition vinyl of Glory from UO. Can't wait for them to come in! I've been slowly expanding my Britney vinyl collection. I already have ITZ, My Prerogative, Blackout, and Oops!.

They are good but there is so much potential since her catalogue of songs is so good! For the birthdays of Britney's old albums, they could have asked their artists to relay on their social networks their favorite song, especially young artists who may have been influenced in one way or another by her music (Alessia Cara, Normani, Dojo Cat, ...). They could also have proposed new "vertical music videos" with bonus extracts from her old music videos. As well as adding "Behind the lyrics" anecdotes with Genius on Spotify. There is a lot to do... I wonder if ONCE UPON A ONE MORE TIME will finally see the light. If the show is good and convinces in Chicago, the idea was to play it on Broadway. It may also give her songs a new resonance.

I'm very tempted to get the GH:MP vinyl but it's only at Urban Outfitters right now for $41... lol

I love Britney. I was obsessed with her during Baby One More Time and Oops!... I Did It Again and both those albums have a lot of nostalgia for me. I had a bad feeling ever since the Femme Fatale era that something was off about her, but even then it's much worse than I ever thought. I really hope she overcomes this and she will be happy and free again. Nobody deserves to go through half the s**t she's been through.
Also on vinyl I have the first two albums and a 12" single of "Gimme More".

Yeah, I think the only ones that aren't UO exclusives are Baby, Ooops, and both Glory iterations

I'm shocked at how close Oops and Baby are. Baby feels like the bigger deal by far (even though at the time both songs ruled the pop world).
