ed when I saw that she's only had four top ten hits in the US since "BOMT." She seems so much more popular than that.

I think one reason was back in the "Britney" era most stations refused to play her songs for some reason, I cant remember why but i remember reading about it somewhere. I think thats why Not A Girl didnt chart (i think it had like #102 or something), Overprotected only got to 86 or around there, and Im not sure how Boys did but I dont remember it even charting. I'm A Slave 4 U had some success i think it went top 30 (like #27). But thats just a guess from me and there was only 3 singles charting bad in that era.

its radio's fault. that's why i'm so glad digital sales and itunes exist. the new chart calculations for the HOT100 are the way it should be. Expect more britney #1s!!! i really think the second single should be released to itunes before the album comes out. that way it can zoom to #1 before people hear the entire album.

I remember hearing back then that Britney and Clear Channel had a falling out because Pepsi promoted the DWAD tour instead of them. Therefore, no CC stations played her songs during that era. The only singles I heard on radio was "IAS4U" (which I heard on Hot 97) and "Boys" (which I heard on Philly's urban station 100.3 The Beat).

That's only cause airplay sucks.

But the sales, aka the public's voice, prove her pop icon status.

She was blacklisted on radio.

For her DWAD tour they picked Pepsi as their sponsor, instead of Clear Channel. Clear Channel viewed this as something bad. So they launched this whole blacklist thing against Britney. They banned her from radio.

Before it took effect, Slave was going up the charts. It stopped at #27, and then vanished from the list. Although the song was still doing good, they just completely made it disappear.

****ing SMASH.

Womanizer Global Chart Update:

Week Ending Oct. 12, 2008: Britney Ends Long Shut-Out
by Paul Grein in Chart Watch

Britney Spears' "Womanizer" zooms from #96 to #1 on Billboard's Hot 100. It's her first #1 on that flagship chart since her debut single "...Baby One More Time" hit #1 in January 1999, when Spears was just 17. Spears has maintained such a high profile over the past decade, it's hard to imagine that she has gone this long without a #1 single. She has had four #1 albums and has been on the cover of a magazine or two, but her highest-charting Hot 100 single since 1999 was last year's "Gimme More," which peaked at #3.

This is the third time in the past two months that the record for the biggest move to #1 on the Hot 100 has been broken. In September, T.I.'s "Whatever You Like" vaulted from #71 to #1. And just last week, T.I.'s "Live Your Life" (featuring Rihanna) made an even more dramatic move, leaping from #80 to #1.

"Womanizer" debuts at #1 on Hot Digital Songs, with 286,000 paid downloads. That sets a new record for the biggest first-week sales by a female artist, barely edging out Mariah Carey's "Touch My Body," which sold 286,000 in March. (The difference between the two is less than 250 units.) "Womanizer" is Spears' second #1 digital hit, following "Gimme More" which debuted at #1 in September 2007 with sales of 179,000.

Spears' sixth studio album, Circus, is due Dec. 2. It's her bid to regain the #1 spot. In November, you'll remember, Blackout opened at #2 behind Eagles' massive Long Road Out Of Eden. It was the first time a Spears studio album hadn't debuted at #1.

Norway: #4 (Debut)
Finland: #7 (Debut)

She's a virtual lock for #1 in Canada too.

Global Airplay Chartings:

Japan Adult Contemporary Radio Airplay: #19 (+14) (Top Ten in one market - #7 Nagoya)
Norway: #69 (+71)

Radar Global Airplay Chartings:

Czech Republic: #27 (-2)

I actually hope it's an announcement of a performance/preview of some songs off of the new album. We already know about the tour, so it's not really "big news".
