Is Scream & Shout successful thanks to Britney?
Is the Britney featuring what really made Scream & Shout successful?
And why this should be addressed to her when everyone including the Army was saying Moves Like Jagger's success wasn't due to Christina?

It shouldn't, because her verses are 
But yeah, it is probably why it's successful.

1. Yes, especially in North America. UK was pretty much the only market that I can say it's thanks to Will.
2. Because Christina herself hasn't had a big hit since 2002 while Maroon had a big hit prior to that (Payphone) and after that (One More Night) while Christina continues to flop. So it's logical. And Christina is only featured for like 30 seconds.
It's simple, really.

I don't know.
I only see threads like "Britney tops the ___ chart for the first time" or "after N years", so

Yes it is. Go and Google and type in the song, the keywords that come in the queue are all Britney. Even when you look at the reviews on iTunes its very Britney related.
EVen Will.i.am himself said its successful because of Britney.

Not solely her, but I think she's very largely responsible for its success, especially in the US. I think it might've still been a hit in Europe if it had an unknown singer, but will.i.am was getting nowhere in the US before this song, so Britney definitely helped loads there.
Christina I think probably got Moves Like Jagger some extra sales as well, especially worldwide. Christina didn't have a big part in the song, but I think we all know there's SOME people that bought or listened to the song just because of her. Probably would've still been a hit with a different featured singer though.

Because Britney sounds so full of personality and recognisable on the track.
Anyway, will.i.am's singles have actually been pretty successful worldwide and this is no exception, although I will say Britney's name had a tiny bit to do with it's overall success.

Not really. You see Womanizer was a smash hit across the board.
Also. Will only had a hit in UK and Germany, the rest of the world he's pretty much a flop. So if anything, he may have helped in Germany and the UK, the world is Britney's fault fair and square.

'It's Britney, Bitch' is recognizable enough, isn't it?

Definitely, the bop video helps a lot as well.

Not to mention, he had a hit in Germany thanks to The Script. This is Love peaked at #54 there.
