She was with her first 2 albums.

One more week and 'Crank That' will tie 'Umbrella' for most weeks at #1 in 2007 (7 weeks)!! This has to stop! Someone needs to take him down...anyone!

Britney wouldn't have made it to #1. No promotion, the single being at a disadvantage of being play only on top 40/pop stations while Soulja, Kanye, Timbaland all have urban, rhythmic, pop, top 40, etc. their audience would've been bigger no matter what.
Mazen is right though if released during the old format she would've went #1, since digital counted much more then.

I said it didn't HURT the single as people thought it would be, and all the bad press turned into an attention to the actual song.

With current chart rules, certain artists that get spins on a variety of stations have an advantage. As I said before, Kanye West, Timbaland and Soulja Boy fit into multiple formats, so for Britney to be as high as she got is quite remarkable, but #1 is just too high considering the competition.
|
Well, yeah of course she won't hit number one right now , but I was ASSUMING that if she promoted the single well then it would've gained much airplay in pop radio. And that would've also caused MORE people to buy the single digitally. A Number one on the Hot 100 didn't seem impossible to me. It's just an assumption though. But in the old formula, her number one was guranteed.

It's true that Britney doesn't need promotion or else she wouldn't have even reached that number 3. But this type of promotion is less effective. Some people are that ignorant that they would refuse to buy certain artist's album/single because of the bad press pressure. And in fact, I believe that's why the single is not getting radio support anymore. Hopefully she will start promoting once the custody battle ends.

I highly doubt it would have made it to #1 going by the old rules too because her margin over Soulja Boy was relatively small for her two weeks on top of iTunes and airplay still counted enough to more than make up for the difference in sales between GM and Crank That.
p.s. if Crank That makes it to 7 weeks it will not only tie with Umbrella but with Irreplaceable also, which spent the first 7 weeks this year on top.

well that could be true. but it was Sean Kingston at #1 during the change, not Soulja. he came like weeks later after Fergie got a week.

^Gimme More deserves the top spot more than Crank That but the truth is that CT is more popular

‘CRANK' THAT ‘UMBRELLA': Soula Boy Tell'em remains No. 1 for the sixth week on the Hot 100 with "Crank That (Soulja Boy)" (Collipark). If Soulja Boy can occupy the penthouse for one more week, he will tie Rihanna and Jay-Z for having the longest-running No. 1 of 2007.
"Umbrella" (SRP/Def Jam), credited to Rihanna featuring Jay-Z, is the longest-running chart-topper of the calendar year, with seven weeks at the zenith. In third place is the four-week reign of "Beautiful Girls" (Beluga Heights/Epic) by Sean Kingston. The only other song to lead the list for three weeks or more is Maroon 5's "Make Me Wonder," with three weeks in pole position.

She got 10 weeks in the UK I think and on the United World Charts, but 7 in the US.

I agree with that, but I do think that her VMA performance started the single "out on the wrong foot." It gave the assumption that Britney wasn't ready to get back out there (which I don't agree with, BTW). Just the fact that she lip-synced bothered people. If things had turned out differently, and she ended up doing a huge magic act with a live vocal performance, things might have turned out different, but it's all in the past now.

Without a doubt the old formula would've propelled her farther. From the way I perceived things, Britney's initial spins were out of curiosity. It was a huge comeback. Then people realized the song was good, and it kept getting more play at Mainstream. But unfortunately for Britney, she "walked in at the wrong time." When Gimme More was released to radio, there were other stuff going on (Kanye vs. 50, the rise of a Rihanna/Ne-Yo duet, etc.)

I can't find anything to argue here, because you hit the nail on the head. (I promise that is the last cliche I'll use in this post!!!) I believe that Britney is a genuinely nice person who's life was corrupted by the industry. It's terrible that it had to happen to her so young, but it can only make her stronger.

WHO HAS THE MOST DOWNLOADS WITH ONE SONG THIS YEAR?
My bet is on avril lavignes girlfriend.
these three are her biggest competitors.
does anyone have girlfriends numbers this week? 
18 14 Fergie Big Girls Don't Cry 49078 36 36102 2127779
23 23 Plain White T's Hey There Delilah 28566 -6 30487 2270552
33 32 Rihanna Umbrella 24535 -8 26683 2075907
**This was on Aug 29th 2007 which was when avrils girlfriend was last in the top50 for downloads...
42 49 LAVIGNE*AVRIL GIRLFRIEND 22819 -12 25830 2150299
so therefore its probly sold more then 2270552(which is Hey There Delilahs total)
so therefore avril is in the lead and she has to keep that lead for another 6 weeks.
i hope avril wins digital song at the billboard awards this year!!
