800k is really successful for a physical single, let alone a single #4.

NeverSincerely

Not surprised.

You know nothing.

And no.

Dark Miracles

No, it sucks.

Lil Misty

No, this is why Inside Out was on the record.

I expected it to get praise and do well, but sadly it didn't.

If the damn music video wasn't banned...

I wanted Criminal to be a single and I'm kinda glad it was, even if it flopped though, that video >>>

Duca

It wasn't a single, it just had a music video.

The fact that Ruben Studdard is inches away at number 9 doesn't speak volumes.

It was his American Idol coronation song, selling 751,000 copies, back when the show was immensely popular enough to spur huge hits following the winner. Hence Clay Aiken (who was arguably more popular than Ruben though he lost to him) at No. 5 and he sold 960,000 copies. Britney barely released physical CDs, see huge album sales, so this one rare time she was huge with 800,000 copies. "Music" is at 1.6 million physical copies, by the way.

You tried it, again, though.

Ooh, I had the Sammie CD.

You must be ****ing delusional. It was released to Mainstream October 4 AND digital download worldwide. It even got a remixes ep. HAHA hypocrisy at it's best... and yet you said "My Girl" and "I Hate Boys" were Bionic singles just because they got released in one country YET Criminal got released worldwide.

CaptainMusic

Born To Make You Happy was released before FTBOMBH anyway and it hit #1 worldwide so yes she has had a successful 4th single.

To answer the question, a bit.

It was more successful than "Sometimes" in the US.

To answer the OP: Yes, I was surprised.

santos

no, IWG was still big on radio. it only got some curiosity airplay, and then back to the underrated hit IWG
plus, the video was flagged, it was unpromoted, and a mid tempo.

FAN

No performance.
Video censored so no one could watch.
No effort from RCA.

So no, not surprised.

IVY

Sinister

nope
It didn't sound like it would do well on the charts

Beautiful Sinner

Kinda.

Typhlosion

Nope,i'm not surprised
