What you say seems great, but no one sells album without promotion. That theory you stated has been proved wrong several times. She put a documentary during Britney Jean's promotional campaign and you would probably say it was in order to promote the residency, but that residency was supposed to start around the same time as the album was dropped out. A couple of interviews? She did that too and it didn't work either. She needs to build hype, make people excited about her releasing music. She will also need to start singing live, prove people she can still sing, dancing is not that important, but she needs to show the public she still loves and care for what she does.

I've always gotten this crazy theory about Britney wanting to do stuff pretty different since Circus. She's always wanted to take routes and she's always been blocked by her label. I need the Brit who didn't care about her label back, the one who went to the radio and premiered Mona Lisa without her label's approval. We need her to take risks, to be her again.

You might be right.
The documentary actually boosted sales but was done 3 weeks after her release.
Yeah she needs to use the interviews based off of the success of residency and the new album and incorporated that to make an even better show...its better than asking about the album and residency as was the case in 2013.
I hope the other song is a hit to build hype and I agree people need to know that she's back.
I really want her to sing live too. It's a shame she doesn't even use prerecorded vocals for Everytime and Lucky. That always disturbed me.
Unfortunately I don't think she will take risks at this point but I would love that.
for me, I just need what i stated earlier commercially but overall at least one iconic moment per era.
She eeked by last era with work btch

Not again. We need Bloodshy and Avant back.
I know Max and Britney do magic in the studio, and as long as he doesn't make her record another I Wanna Go, it'd be here for it. That said, I hope she never works with Dr. Luke and will.i.am ever again.

B&A aren't together anymore though.

The only good thing about Britney Jean flopping is that it would be quite easy to make B9 more successful.

I think it was the much-needed reality check everyone needed, tbh. And her team (and hopefully Britney) KNOW that it performed poorly and was poorly executed, which is a good sign.

Well, it's not like Work Bitch was that iconic, maybe we find it that way, but the GP wasn't here for it. She's been wanting to take risks for a while. Promotion is the key if Britney wants some success with her upcoming effort. She gotta start singing live as well or using pre-recorded vocals at the very least... Using the album version of her songs pre-2004 is a bit embarrassing.

I'm very curious to know how.. aware Britney of her career these days. Like, does she know where her singles peak? Does she know if her album is a success or a flop? I wonder..

She wanted Alien as a single so I imagine there must have been a conversation that took place between she & Larry or someone else explaining there wouldn't be a third single due to the performance of the first two but who knows..

I'm glad Britney isn't like the newer pop stars who know a bit too much about their commercial success but I'd like to know if she is aware.

She said during the BJ era that she can be competitive, so I kinda hope she's aware of her last album flopping & has a plan to make B9 a success.

Not really. I definitely agree that the song title + using gay lingo wasn't commercially driven, but the song was clearly intended to do some S&S type damage. They had the talk-monotone vocals in a British accent, the EDM breakdown done by a relatively unknown producer (Lazy Jay for S&S -> Otto Knows for WB) and somewhat similar lyrics. And using the same director for the music video.

And Perfume was definitely done with the intention of being a hit. Hiring a well-known songwriter to write a big hook + will.i.am changing the original Chris Braide production to a more radio-friendly version.

Body Ache was also the other S&S rehash, I bet they would of released it after Perfume if it had smashed.

Till is gone was the MEGAHIT never happened.

[nicholasisweird]

Scream & Shout should've been her first single for the album.
With Ooh La La (Original Lola Blanc demo) as a pre-order promo song.
And Work Bitch as the 2nd single.
With Til It's Gone (Intentional) & Don't Cry (Japanese) to close out the era.

[Baby Boy]

Work Bitch was definitely made as an S&S Part 2 but it was definitely a risk releasing it. Radio killed any chance it had.

[Aegean]

Til It's Gone sounds like a Europop track from 2002. Not here for that outdated mess.

Yas, finally we get a Britney devil gif.

It was a failed risk and that's the story were sticking to outside this base.

I really don't think she has a clue, I mean her comment about the oops record alone

[XTIANLOVESBRITNEY]

WB is a decent track....but it was a HUGE mistake release it as a first single.

Alien is not my favorite song from BJ but I think would have been a surprising first single.

The album would have bombed anyways thanks to ZERO tv promo.

She can release a dark horse kind of song and will flop two....her marketing is a disgrace.
