"Umbrella" was like a digital sales phenomenon when it came out. First song to have three weeks of 200,000+ sales, I believe.

What's your point? Its still impressive, especially considering she provided the most memorable part of the track.... The hook!

Yeah, you can't discount her features. Neither would have been as successful without her.

Sorry, is just my opinion ... This song is nothing compare to (for example) Circus, If U Seek Amy, Piece Of Me, Stronger, Toxic, song that deserve a more high position than...this thing..

Awww, the "she has better songs" excuse. That's really all you people can rely on right now.

It is your opinion and I somewhat agree with you (only in the sense that she does have better songs), but you should know what you're getting yourself into when you shade Britney on ATRL. Its like holding a red flag to a raging bull.

It's not for "Billboard" that HIAM is at #1!
It's for the US people! People like Britney's HIAM and that's it

Exactly. It's not Billboard's decision. They just gather data and make their rankings based on that data gathered, which clearly shows that Hold It Against Me is #1. DWI.

Let's take a look at these. "The song is nothing compared to circus, IUSA, POM, Stronger, Toxic".
If it wouldve been Circus released you wouldve said the same thing, if It wouldve been IUSA you wouldve said its the same bubblegum pop britney always does, if it wouldve been POM you wouldve said it is heavily auto-tuned (which it is)..
The truth is HIAM is perfect: very low auto-tune, britney's voice couldn't sound more clear here, the beat is sick and its different from everything on radio right now. I personally think (and may I say a lot of stans and fans in general agree with me) that HIAM is one of Britney's best singles, and I dare rank it among Toxic and Gimme More (my two personal favorites, 3rd is HIAM). But I guess you can't see that, but eventually they song will grow on you, just like it has on the 411,000 people that downloaded it from the US only

OMG someone really said EVERYBODY has tons of 4 platinum selling singles? what a dumbass.  Only 32 songs in the digital era has sold that much.
Anyway, Bruno deserves to be one with a 4x platinum  TALENT right there! 
Congrats to Britney  4th #1 of her career (she should have like 8 by now but whatever!)

GaGa and Rihanna are the only female artists to have 3 4x+ platinum singles.

SOLO. 
Ke$ha, Beyonce & Katy have 4x platinum singles too. and they got them by themselves.
Britney isn't on the list because she hasn't promoted a single since the digital era began.

I agree that HIAM doesn't deserve that number 1... I love Britney but that song is just meh... I hope that the second single will be more like Womanizer or Piece of Me

Ke$ha will be getting another with We R Who We R.
Britney doesn't have any because she hasn't promoted during the digital era. OBVIOUS. Watch Britney get those 4x platinum singles this era. She's coming back with promotion this time.
Beyonce isn't straight up pop like the other girls and she was still able to get one.
