I dont hate BFB, i just think it's an EXTREMELY weak track that shouldn't have been released. Tell me if a song could only reach #78 on itunes WITH a performance, why do you guys think it will be a big hit?Airplay? Airplay can only do so much and it's that clear that the interest in the song is/will be limited.

So its offical TTWE #3 at billboard this week!!

Does anyoen knows about Canada this week??
This betetr be top 3 at canada

So we should completely rely on response based on how high songs got? *sees "Amy"*

If you have forgotten, those performances didn't do much of anything for ANY of the songs performed. And only viewed by a handful of people. Your choice of reasoning would be more sensible if she performed on Idol, or a show that actually got legit viewers, during a time where people are actually sitting & watching. Not as they're heading to work & not caring, or heading to bed & not caring.

And airplay does A LOT. That's the promotion that we won't be getting. We can't be blind to the fact that it's the most accessible way to get your song to people's ears. If labels only depended on how a song performed on iTunes, that's being lazy, and we get enough laziness from Jive/their management teams. Again, see "Amy". I guarantee you "Shattered Glass" would've bombed if it were a single too. Those are just FANS buying the fan favorite. The general public isn't going to the album and choosing particular songs. If that were the case, "IWG" would've gone up into the Top 10 and did extremely well, a la Ke$ha "YLIMD" or "Blah Blah Blah".

I honestly believe "BFB" has a great chance of being a decent hit. It's different for Britney Spears, it'll be a highlight on radio compared to other songs, among other things. I can tell you now, if they release "I Wanna Go" and not put promotion behind it with performances and exposure, it will pull an "Amy". It's a great, catchy, predictable Summer hit, but, that's also it's downfall with no backup. It's too typical and radio can easily choose something else like it to spin instead, if they get that Britney nor her team care to push it.

Sorry for the rant, it's not meant to have any rudeness. I just have a lot of support for my argument.

I agree with Rico.

I honestly think they should release "Criminal" or "Inside Out" as the next single to show audiences a different side since she hasn't released a slower song in ages. It would also help with album sales.

"I Wanna Go" isn't going to sell albums and neither is "Big Fat Bass", but the latter is the better single choice. IWG really would just be IUSA again.

I'm just here for "Inside Out".
Her eighth top three hit!

I'd also enjoy "Criminal" or "Inside Out" more, but "BFB" seems likely so just prepping for that.

I agree with Rico, BFB is the best choice for summer.

I'm not here for "Inside Out" or "Criminal" to be the next single. It's SUMMER. High School and College students need PARTY ANTHEMS not something for them to fall asleep to. Of course I eventually want either one to be a single but they scream a Fall / Winter release. Preferably Winter.

What a collection of fine pop songs

Now Monroe, are you going to sit here and tell me that Britney: For The Record was not better than the "I Am The Femme Fatale Documentary?" The quality seen in FTR was AMAZING. We seen a variety of emotion from Britney, more so than the FF documentary which was over before you could blink your eyes.

I guess I worded it wrong with performing more. I meant to say she performed on different occasions more than the FF era. What made the performances even better was how spread out they were from the other.

The fact that you are trying to tell me Femme Fatale's promo was better than Circus at the beginning BAFFLES me, but to each its own.

I had forgotten all about IYSA and how much it sold when Circus came out, but until (if) Big fat flop reaches the top 10, i'll keep thinking it will flop. It'll get lot of airplay, because like many have said it has the BEP sound and is very generic but what's airplay really going to do if a song is stuck in the top 20/30 on itunes (which is where i think it'll peak).

I Wanna go is the obvious choice for the next single in my eyes. I think it will be a much bigger hit than BFB and dont think it would pull a IYSA. I also think IWG would sell the album better, but we'll see what the future holds.

I want Inside Out so bad, simply because there is a 90% chance they would make a video with a storyline, and not try to sneak in dancing.

@ the sudden appreciation for the "Circus" era.

Back at Blackout they hated Blackout, back at Circus they hated Circus and loved Blackout, now in Femme Fatale they hate Femme Fatale and love Circus. All 3 of them were major flops at their current time but hailed as smashing successes one era later. I hate to know them so well.

I learned to expect little from Team Britney, so I won't get disappointed. How ****ing sad is that? I'm more concerned with her life though, that conservatorship needs to be lifted immediately!

"Amy" sucks and the video was average at best. "Unusual You" was the obvious choice for a single. That along with "Circus", "Blur" and "Mannequin" are the only songs I keep on my iPod from that forgettable album. If anything, the "Circus" era disappointed music-wise. Sorry, it had to be said.
