I was just looking for a thread for this. I saw it today on the Spincrease list with +209 spins and play across 69 stations. This could very well debut top 50 tomorrow if there's enough spin activity.
EDIT: And there we go. All it needs is to be #51 tomorrow morning and it'll be in after Elton/Dua go recurrent.

My one complaint about this is that it sounds like they used a low quality acapella. However, a mashup like this getting an official release is huge!

But why? There are thousands if not millions of mashups just as good or better than this. I could understand too if it were to really intertwine each song together to create something truly special to listen to like the older DJ Earworm tracks or Numb/Encore, but it's not. It's just Toxic's vocals over Pony's instrumental. And it's not like Toxic is a forgotten song that this will help people discover/rediscover like Sugar and Do It to It, Toxic is one of the most iconic pop songs of the 2000s and Pony is the same but for r&b.
Like can I just mashup Bleeding Love and Blank Space and get airplay too?

I'm not sure if you're asking why it's being pushed to radio specifically or why it was made in general, but for the former, it's at 2M+ TikTok videos, so it seems natural that the label would try and push it and capitalize off of it. I fully expect labels to do more of this going forward with viral mashups.

If RCA is desperate to milk the cash cow, release Better.

I blame “Cold Heart” for this to be honest.

This is such a strange trend. I'm literally dumbfounded listening to this rn and imagining this getting significant airplay. What an odd time for pop radio.

Yeah, this seems really sketchy to me, and at my most cynical, it comes across like RCA is trying to milk Britney’s name after she just got freed from her conservatorship.
Sorry, but if I wanted a recently popular mashup song to get a pop radio push after Cold Heart, I’d go for I Can Feel It by Sickick, not this.

All of these valid points aside, Britney getting pop radio airplay in 2022 is super exciting to me. Maybe this is the right mix of nostalgia and viral hit to do well and set up something new. I find it harmless enough and I’ll never get over thinking radio just has a void without a Britney song on rotation.

Yeah, I don't get why people are so mad at this? lol. It's massively viral on TikTok right now and it seems pop radio - for once - is actually jumping on something immediately trendy. And there's no bad time for Britney to be on the radio ;)

I'm sort of surprised that this is being pushed but also, not really surprised. This mash-up being pushed is unexpected, but the label as been allegedly been wanting to have new Britney music out there for a while. Supposedly, the reason "My Only Wish (This Year)" was re-released in 2020 was because the label had wanted Britney to release a Christmas album (or at the very least new Christmas music) but Britney, understandably, refused to do so at the time. This might just be a case of the label being inpatient and just wanting have some form of new Britney music out there. Hopefully, this at least has Britney's approval.

Do they need her approval? If they own the rights to the song and all the songwriters agree to it, IDK if they need her approval (and I say this as a legit thing, IDK what stake she has in how her song gets used).
I do suppose though, it might be easier to get her OK for something like this, since 'Toxic' pre-dates the conservatorship and any material that falls under that era's purview.

I assume they don’t need her approval to release the song.

I'm sure they don't *need* her approval but I'd hope given everything that has happened in the last few years that they at least would've approached her and got her blessing.

It did 165K streams yesterday, and that's with literally just being on two playlists.
