here's the whole GimmeBritney article sisters:
"Brett:
There are alot of other fan sites demanding answers as to why there is no promotion for HIAM, or offering discussion topics for the subject.* Let's clear it up right here, right now.
First up, Britney is still putting the finishing touches on the album.* Everything that is happening has been carefully planned and this era is one of the best in terms of promotion that is coming since In The Zone.
You must not forget that there HAS been promotion.* Yes, it has been light - but there is a reason for that (which I'll explain shortly).* From the start, what looked like a calculated leak of the first demo of HIAM to the rush (surprise) release of HIAM which sent HIAM to number 1 on iTunes in over 20 countries including Australia and in record time making it one of Britney's most successful singles in years.
There was a massive iTunes campaign where Britney was splashed all over the front page, and special HIAM page.
More promotion is coming.* You must understand that the "fan phase" is now complete.* This is where fans rush out and purchase the single. HIAM may be getting old to fans, but it's only starting to make an impact to the greater public.* This takes about a month (on average) for a song to reach it's impact.* Radio is still playing it in high rotation (especially in Australia) and listener response is coming back positive.
Now the main reasoning behind all this is the fans rival. It's not always something that I like to bring up, however Gaga is Britney's main competition and Gaga's single Born This Way is being dropped February 13.* This is when we will see alot of promotion to counter what Gaga's camp are doing.
Don't take the silence as Britney's camp not knowing what they are doing, or failing to promote.* It's alot of money to promote an artist, and it's all coming. It's not a time for panic.
EDIT:
@gimmebritney her camp can at least tell us all that stuff tho, instead they choose to tell us NOTHING
Letting fans know too much information about what to expect tips off rivals (Gaga's camp) so they can also plan something to top what Britney's camp have in store.* A football team doesn't reveal their playing positions to the opposing team before a match, and it's the same deal here.
We've had details about the HIAM video and a screen shot.* That's pretty good.
All in good time guys.
@gimmebritney are you saying you know for sure promo will be coming soon?
Yes. There is HEAVY promotion coming.* This is clearly a strategic move from Britney's team.* They're not planning around any other big music releases, they are planning against it to counter whatever is coming."
I find them pretty reliable, and Lem's right, that post REAAALLY puts things into perspective. The Queens coming snatching wigs for her collection, look out GaGa, cause you may die this way
