using it in a bravo commercial doenst mean huge promo :P

It was also the Victoria Secret official summer anthem, was given away on their FB page and played in the stores.

Amazon did the Free digital download when the song came out after they had already bought out copies for the giveaway.

MTV did a special on the video...

It was a lot more than any of her other singles in the past few years.

I don't remember that. YouTube link?

When the video came out they did a long article about the video references and why it was one of her best videos. It was on the front page for a week.

I think the MTV promo reached over 300,000 people.

They did the Frame by Frame w/ Chris thing too!

Let me find links.

Plus:

It was named the song of the summer by RollingStone magazine

PAYOLA at radios ...

Yes. Britney's team offered a few phone interviews for tour and IWG promo...

TTWE is definitely the HIT of the era, despite iwg peaking higher. However TTWE did have a lot more promo.

That isn't true, the biggest criticism on the Grammys is that they are easily influenced in giving nominations and awards to more commercially successful albums rather than critically successful ones. So please tell me when were E.N.D. and IASF critically successful albums? Hell Circus got better reviews than both of those I can go on and on....

We know what the Grammys say on their website, but we also know what the Grammys do when push comes to shove. Don't pretend they are solely based on quality.

I honestly don't remember any non-social networking promo for TTWE. I know it exist, but I just cannot remember what they did.

My mind is deteriorating...

... some more!


*note to self: change sig

Right. Dr. Luke will make sure Britney gets her noms. Just like the-Dream and Matthew make sure Beyonce gets hers.

But payola is a bribe given to an influential person in a position of trust to secure special treatment and promote a song, and radios shouldn't be influenced by any kind of external factor that would support the lack of balanced content and demeaning imagery.

Payola laws need to be updated because they are clearly flawed... and it won't happen until Billboard takes a stand.

Doing an interview for spins should be considered payola...

Rihanna's stunt for You Da One should be illegal.

Well, he better, since he got Katy Album Of The Year, Best Pop Vocal Album, and Best Female Pop Vocal Performance nominations last year.

Exactly.

I wasn't serious, I was messing with dinorel, since I was shocked by his comment after what he said about Grammys.

But let's not forget "Born This Way," the stations were obligated to play it every 30 minutes. But it was "a marketing tactic."

Right. Billboard is slowly changing this year. They will change rules about overplayed singles for promo in Feb.

The only time I can jam to I Wanna Go is when I'm in the car with my friends.

Some of the Femme Fatale tracks go HARD with big fat speakers.
