I'm bothered that FF did NOT have how I Roll? or Inside out or Up n down as singles.
I I I wanna go o o is throw away. The iconic title is the best thing and they didn't even use that.
Of all her eras, FF is the one that would have cemented a legacy if
winter First single (TTWE with HIAM breakdown and later Nicki/Kesha remix)
spring second single How I roll?
summer third single Seal it with a kiss (dubstep breakdown is perfection personified without trying too hard.
fall 4th single Inside out
winter 5th single Up n down tour performance to coincide with concert dvd release.
This REALLY could have been an era with 1.5m sales US/ 4M WW 15-20M single sales WW
and 3-4 iconic hits TTWE, HIR, SIWAK and IO were maybes

Uhhh
The FF single choices were near perfect (with a case to be made for IO over Criminal). The only thing I agree with here is including Up n Down to close the era.
HIAM was a smash, and would've sustained it's stamina further had Britney actually promoted the single.
TTWE - while iconic - could have reached #1, had Britney actually promoted.
IWG was a perfect summer single, and did it's job to keep the era afloat. In fact, Britney never needed to perform it - it was that commercial.
Criminal was a throwaway, but also served throwback Britney vocals. Again, if she had actually promoted the single, it likely could have gone top 20.
What's the common denominator here? Britney's lack of effort in her own career. The era itself was set up rather perfectly - it was Britney however who refused to step up to bat.
