I don't think so. It's not really a ballad. Lucky isn't a ballad neither.

Are you sure From The Bottom of My Broken Heart sold 810,000+?

And yes, Criminal will easily become her biggest ballad - with her amazing radio support and the digital era.

It's an instant classic. I've always said this, and I will keep on saying. Criminal will become Britney's biggest hit since Toxic.

100% sure yes.

it's easy to score hits in the digital era and now she has radio support too.

criminal is going top 10 and selling over 1 mil

that's enough to make it her most successful mid-tempo/ballad.

FTBOMBH went Platinum, so I think it at least sold that much.

Uhm I doubt it tbh... I think it'll peak around 30 AI. I'd love to be proven wrong.

She's doing better now than ever, so hell yes

I think yes because this would be the type of song the public could get into and buy on itunes.

Yes, i think so.

Everytime will forever be her most remembered ballad no matter what Criminal does on the charts

No, because its not a ballad

It's a midtempo but if you're talking about her biggest love song this could be it. She has awesome support radio and digital.

this isn't a ballad. a ballad is fading or california king bed by rihanna. and some songs by britney, but not criminal

Lord have mercy this ain't no ballad

Agh.

It's not exactly a ballad, but I think it'll be a smash, yes.

This is not a ballad. It's sad that she has been in the music industry for more than a decade and she has only released 5 ballads. WTF. I seriously don't get what would have been wrong if they released Unusual You or Shadow.

I hope so. It's easily one of her best songs to date. When I listen to it, I just feel good. It takes me to another place. Just like borderline, just good pop all around. Hopefuly it smashes.

WTF with all the Britney stans thinking Criminal is a ballad?

Also Sometimes isn't a ballad either.

Nope.
And the remix made it not a ballad anymore.
