don't worry specialist, unlike the others, i understood what you meant.
It's halarious how people are comming in and laughing at Christina's fans, even though that one Britney fan (AKA person who claims he suddenly began liking Britney when ITZ came out even though it seems like he has liked her since her MMC, and who suspiciously sounding like Britneyfan101 the more he posts,) is the one posting ridiculous posts. Adonis, it's not our fault Britney is not doing well. Don't blame it on Christina.

i guess i'm giving you guys more credit than you deserve...did you not realise the whole point of saying 100% was BECAUSE she's only had one single? one single, that was payolaed? there's nothing to be confused about there, just blatant obvious truth. jesus christ... So you were trying to make yourself sound like a blind Britney hater? I'm being serious here, because I can't think of any other way to take it.

My payola theory (as / hs < 1,000,000 = payola)
3,200,000 in album sales divided by 5 hit singles = 640,000. Therefore, payola!!!!!!!

Well how come RCA didn't make "Dirrty" and "Fighter" go to #1 then? Why would they let Dirrty flop? They must be major idiots! Dirrty couldn't have been payolad, and neither "Beautiful" because the song was getting major spins before it's add date. They also wouldn't payola a 5th single, so that takes us down to 2 singles, "Fighter" and CHUD, and there is only a 50% chance that those even used Payola. So that's like a 2 million profit.

Why wouldn't they payola "Dirrty"? Because they thought it would do well on it's own. It flopped, so they started sending out money for "Beautiful" from the start to make sure that Christina didn't have two flops in a row.

RCA asked Radio to start playing the song on November 12th, 2002. It was already #35 on November 10th, 2003. And it was #20 by the week it went for adds. Nice try though.
More evidence that "Beautiful" might have not been payolad: Dirrty's small ressurection. Beautiful got such a great response that stations began to play Dirrty more.

Send out money to a 2nd single early so it can make the first single and even bigger flop than it was? whoever was the person that made that decision should have been fired. Might i add that the November 12th add date was give AFTER "Stripped" was released. A lot of stations had already put "Beautiful" into rotation before it was announced as the 2nd single.
Are you a payola expert rebirth?

RCA was trying to hold the album sales up by releasing a new single right away. Either way they used payolla. I dont care what you all say because I dont know a hit artist with an uneventful and mediocre catalog of singles(Xtina has) that can get out 4 or 5 singles without some payolla. Even if the songs were great they would've still gotten some payolla especially after the first single flopped.
