Many of you are talking about one specific situation with Katy and Gaga. I'm talking about MANY lead singles. As far as I can remember, everytime Britney starts a countdown or hint that she might release the lead single of her albums, the media and the internet are all over her and the song.
People comparing her to Lady Gaga, Rihanna or Katy Perry Britney Spears is almost 20 years into her career while the others are barely at 10 years or less.
