I wake up and Bie is banned. I don't care really after seeing the his posts Duca reposted in this thread.

But, in all seriousness, is he suffering from something...
I'm not kidding. I don't want to be too insensitive.

Anyways, curious to see the pre-xmas boost and post-xmas surge for Scream and shout. I need another 2x platinum single even if it's featuring will i am.

5 4 will.i.am & Britney Spears "Scream & Shout" 143,000 (634,000) +19%

i can't everything about this song is britney. the lyrics (innocent), the voice, the moans. wtf even the artwork.

I don't think it needs any different amount of promotion then her other singles in its debut...it will need promotion afterwards, though.

She needs a release during September when the summer songs have peaked and are tumbling down the charts, a radio deal and instant streaming (it doesn't have to stream high but at least get some streaming points)+ sales that we fans will ensure is front loaded.

Everything literally has to align in those areas for her to get a #1 debut.
I really hope she doesn't pander to a radio deal and just gets a cool 40M off debut week like HIAM just based on demand and it actually being a good radio song.

bieber couldnt debut atop with 500.000+ sells so a debut atop its not happening..although 1# of course its possible

Because he was competing with "We Are Young" a monster in radio and streaming .

yes of course .. the timing was wrong.. but if she releases something in the end of the year she would compete with katy or rihanna or anyone else .. thats why i dont see i debut atop again

Bieber didn't go #1 because 'Boyfriend' had zero streaming points.

If they release the first single to radio (preferably with a deal) and make it available for streaming a week before the digital release, a #1 is possible since she always has great first week sales.

Too optimistic, Duca.

A MESS.

It used to be 55% airplay, 40% sales, and 5% streaming (AOL and other irrelevant sites.) We don't know how it's divided now but we know this: radio > sales > streaming (Spotify, etc.) This is the most accurate formula based on the data we get:

(Sales / 1,000) + [(Airplay / 1m) x 1.6] + (Streaming / 10,000) = total points

For example:

Sales: 100k
Airplay: 100m
Streaming: 1m

100 + 160 + 100 = 360 total points

Who cares if it goes no.1 just want a son that has longevity and inspires people to buy the album

Is not optimistic is real.

If she releases her song during a non-competitive strong week and has great digital ssales she can perfectly debut at #1.

However I don't like too much #1 debuts they tend to not have longevity

This.

It's about the timing... But it's best everyone doubts her, such situations have always worked in our favour.

BTW, how was Christmas for you guys? What's new on the Base?

You missed the Bie massacre.

I can't at the haters saying Britney will get fired.

Bie massacre ?

She can't get fired because she signed a one season deal .. Another season was not in her contract to begin with.

But I think we should understand there are high chances they don't negociate another season for her

Yeah,a fake stan
