Britney seems to have really worked hard on this album, and with britney, whenever she works hard she has great success.
Everyone I know says their favourite Britney song is either Toxic, Baby One More Time, or Everytime

Definitely the dark horse of 2013.
1. I think people forget the impact that Scream & Shout had worldwide. Fair enough in the US Will needed Britney to make a hit, worldwide (especially in the UK) she needed him. People that have never liked Britney before, were driving around in their cars singing 'you are now-now rocking with will.i.am and Britney Bitch'. This means people are definitely going to more open to her new stuff in my opinion.
2. Ooh La La, wasn't successful BUT, the fact that it peaked higher than Criminal on the BBHot100 proves that the more than just fans are still here for her.
3. You can tell she is fully invested in this album. She's working really hard.
4. It's urban. Which means it's more straight male friendly than her usual tracks.
5. She's looking hot.

Enough said.
6. She knows she needs hype, otherwise Vegas will flop.
7. Although X Factor wasn't good. It did help get her confidence back AND gave Britney more exposure to the GP than she had been getting.
8. The fact that this album is supposed to be personal is a huge plus for the GP, who still see Britney as a 'bald crazy bitch'. If she has song's like Piece Of Me, or even more personal like Everytime, they're going to be sucking it up, because they'll want to hear what she has to say. Especially if she's the one writing it.
9. Social Media is really important in promotion and Britney seems to be being more personal, and more herself on Twitter.
10. It's Britney Bitch!!!
THIS ERA IS GOING TO BE A SUCCESS. I can feel it! (Thank you to Blairbear who thought of points 8 + 9)
