I like how the Britney stans are using the quality over success argument as if 3 is a really great song or something.

Lyrically and musically, it's pop fodder no different than Tik Tok. You could argue that quality is subjective when it comes to music, but even then, the charts show that the majority obviously preferred Tik Tok over 3.

So I stand by my original statement. The results R the way they R because Britney has a lot of rabid stans on ATRL. I don't believe it has much to do with the song.
