Let's face it. Most people still listen to the radio. They hear a song on the radio for the first time and think "Oh, I'll buy that!" Radio is going to start being ageist to Britney the older she gets and she's going to lose a wider audience like Madonna, Gwen, Fergie and J Lo. She'll have to work harder to have mainstream success. It sucks. I hate ageism.

To be honest, I think we can extrapolate this to other pop artists as well.
Britney's last successful album, Femme Fatale, was released before she turned 30. She had lots of radio support, even with Criminal. She flopped starting with Work Bitch, which was after she turned 30. (Ooh La La doesn't count because it's a random soundtrack single.)
I think I'm gonna make another thread.
