Radio deals are fine if the public is responsive to the said single. "Ooh La La" is the first song she ever did a deal with, but it's a ****** song so of course it bombed shortly after the deal was over.

She doesn't need a deal, obviously. "Gimme More", "Womanizer", "Circus", "3" and "Hold It Against Me" all moved quickly up Top 40 just because it's Britney. I think now it's inevitable that she'll at least have the 1-day, "top of the hour, every hour" iHeartRadio thing.

Ooh la la didn't have a major deal though. It wasn't played every hour like HIAM/TTWE/

Miguel.

Does Spotify only count as streaming the song or could I use Rhapsody, etc?

Two of the three members of the trinity are struggling.(Bey & Gaga)
Britney's fate yet to be seen.

New trinity right now is Katy, Rihanna & Britney. Ga & Bey have been kicked out.

I don't get how she's struggling. Gaga is the Britney of our generation (global force) and Katy Perry is the Christina of our generation (local force/semi-global force).

Gifting should always be to people in the US. I'm pretty sure we can't gift to other regions.

Yeah, you're right.

Also you can't gift using store credit @Pikachu.

Speaking of HIAM.... HIAM set the trend back in 2011 for a simultaneous iTunes and radio release for major artists. Before labels would send it out to radio a week before the digital release in order to get a healthy radio impression. Just a fun fact...

Brit always setting the trends though...

I don't want Britney to have radio deal this time. I'm not here for it.

Anyway, her lead single will do well on radio without the deal.

Now that the best Britney Stan has said it. You all need to listen

Bie, boy. If you wan't Britney to get a #1 on itunes she is going to need a radio deal.
What kind of sabotage do you want to do to Britney?

Summer

She will have a radio deal. That should be a given.

Yes, I remember all the "on-air/on-sale" policy articles surrounding "HIAM".

It did. Songs don't just debut with almost 1000 spins after one day, even if by a major artist.

Yes. Pretty much all streaming services count to Billboard. Spotify, Rhapsody, Rdio, Youtube, Yahoo!, etc. I feel Spotify probably holds higher weight than any other though, that's just my speculation. Billboard is more seedy about how they do things these days, since it's so easy to figure out.

Britney can do it without the damn deal. Maybe she can't do it the day it's released if there are strong competitions, but it will do the next days.

Ah, I see your point. I'll stick with Spotify when it comes to streaming.

I looked at the gifting page on Apple's website and it says you can't use store credit, the page was modified March 2013 though so they might've changed it.

Dude. No she can't. She barely has the GPs back. If Lady Gaga can't, then Britney definitely can't.

There is no iTunes store where I live, so I'll be responsible for the YouTube views.

chris1991

I never bought Ooh La La.

Tropez

Don't you have an Amazon?

I guess we'll see soon then....

Bie

I want this next lead single to top:
Hot 100 (a least 1 week)
Pop chart (at least 2 weeks)
Dance club chart (1 week)
Digital chart (at least 3 weeks)

And go top 3 on radio chart
