S&M was already at #2 when the remix gave it a SMALL edge to go #1. If it was a standalone release, it wouldn't have had enough juice to do any significant charting. The song also fell like a rock when the week and initial buzz ended.
It wasn’t a small edge. It went from selling 140k to selling 300k, with the remix selling 70% of the total. It exceeded all expectations, since Billboard predicted the combined versions would sell only 200k. Let's not forget that Billboard said that radio stations across the US had played the new mix heavily (helping the song gain in airplay and stay on top of Radio Songs,) in response to a letter in which someone was bitching about Britney being credited.
If it flops we can always blame him...and I'm sure we will be able to use the no promo angle
We need to be prepared this time with our excuses, we weren't ready when X Factor underperformed
So true....I feel so caught off guard when it comes to Britney now. We have to make sure our excuses are prepared for these things if they fall by the wayside -- Glee, Twister Dance, Fantasy Twist and "Easy."

Hey guys! how is it going with the Femme Fatale purchasing week? I can't see it in Top100 yet even with 4.99$. I'm afraid that it's gonna work the way Blackout's purchasing week did because people love Blackout more than Femme Fatale.
LMAO. Just give up. That's like beating a dead horse. Don't do it, Lem.
