That's the point lol. Airplay is not a good indicator of popularity.

But you said 4 more no.1's. and 3 and Womanizer were already no.1's

A total of 4 more #1s to her tally instead of 2. You got the idea.

Do you know the current formula Billboard uses?

I think that Toxic also topped the HDS chart but I'm not 100% on it...

Never underestimate Britney.

We remember some people saying "3" would flop.

You guys thought 3 would flop? Holy crap, why?
My b/f hates Pop music but he miraculously likes 3.

Yes, but Billboard started to use them in 2005. At that time (2003-2004) the chart was Hot Digital Tracks.

Close... The Hot Digital Songs chart wasn't started until 2005. It topped the Hot Digital Tracks chart:

Hot Digital Tracks peaks before 2005
Me Against The Music #3
Toxic #1
Everytime #7
I've Just Begun (Having My Fun) #23
My Prerogative #2

See, even her radio flops and songs that didn't chart at all on the airplay chart sold well for that time.

For comparison:

Crazy In Love #1
Baby Boy #4
Me Myself and I #49
Naughty Girl #4
star Spangled Banner #37

3 is too generic for my tastes...but I'm glad it debuted at no1, it makes up for Toxic not reaching no.1

We didn't, but some people did.

The point of coming here was for Britney news.

The point of commenting was to voice my opinion that it's almost impossible for Britney to be bigger in the US than she was during the BOMT era.

Same goes for ANY other artist who has a big debut. So get used to it.


Although single-wise speaking, 'Circus' almost did the same as '...Baby One More Time', and even better when we consider only the first 3 releases of each album.

Or...

100% sales

For that we have the Digital chart. DUH.

Britney can have 35498798025068867 more #1s but Toxic, Oops and Slave will never be "made up" for them...

LOL@bibliotheque doing what a lot of anti-Gagas do in Gaga threads anyway...

Apparently you guys don't think that's right, do you? But then come here and do "the same". How, err, mature.

Be quick about it too because Duca doesn't use late noms

We have already established that I misunderstood Duca. I foolishly thought that he actually meant to say what he had said

Oh my...Oops. That's a cultural movement song right there and it never topped the charts. I will never forgive the US for that. And Slave is THE BEST SINGLE in my opinion from her...well second best. The sound is so different from her other singles

Doesn't change the fact you only post - I'm not questioning your supposed interest on the new album - here when it's to throw some shade.

I don't condone what Bibliotheque did at all.

Still, I guess it's okay for you to go into Gaga threads and troll it. Was that you? Or Louie? Bah, I can't tell who's who on these boards.
