I'm most annoyed that she and her producers have been talking about going urban for the entire year yet decided to release an EDM song as the lead single. I've said countless times that i'm OVER this sound and the GP clearly is as well, deep down i knew from the start it would underperform/flop.

That's the problem. Even non fans were aware of this.
If they didn't know that Rihanna's Right now flopped and EDM for the most part is a dying trend then this is what they deserve.
Here's the thing:
YOU CAN"T TELL ME that if they told her it was #1 in 36 countries for an hour (leaving out those last few words

that they are not aware of the song tanking.
If they thought not having the video out by today was a good move then they set themselves up for failure.
They clearly have not been monitoring the changes in billboard. But then again, they have because they worked it out perfectly with miley.
I guess Team Britney are just lame ducks.
So it should be fun to see how many opportunities they miss this era...There's three within the last week.

I mean it wasn't going to last forever, not every lead single was going to smash . Justin went from an airplay smashing first single (S&T) to Take Back The Night, another iconic #29 peaking single. And he actually pushed the song. Beyonce went from a 5 week #1 lead single (Single Ladies) to a song that barely spent 1 week in the Top 30 , and she too pushed it beyond belief. To say Britney is "faded" is foolhardily.
I would love to see where this ends up after the push. The radio updates are still healthy. If it had a push and everyone still said no, then I'd say go ahead and call the Time Of Death, but we are still on Life Support and no one is pulling the plug yet
Also, how many plays on z100 and Kiis did it get?

It's good the radio is playing it strong but Britney and her team need to get off of life support and do something.
Her tweeting the director about the video isn't enough. They should have already had the video out either the day of or at least yesterday in lieu of the Iheart radio appearance.
I still hope that her flop era surpasses others.
Just like her "flop" movie still outperformed Gigli and Glitter and Swept away.
