Why did Britney not choose Clear Channel (which led to her ban)?

because her team thought about the money.
She would get less money going through clear channel as they wanted a cut.

It worked out in the end.

That era prove that Britney didn't need radio support to ship 5M albums and be certified 4x platinum.

At the tim she was kind of following Whitney's sales:

13x platinum debuted followed up with 9x platinum album followed with a 4x platinum era.
Then britney's first two albums got recertified.

Also, she ranked #1 on forbes largely due to getting a bigger pay day for her touring.

She's the 1st music to rank #1 so it was a win win in the end

Why do y'all talk about something that happened 15 years ago?

History and education are wonderful tools and it's important to supply the newer generation with information that helps them grasp the reality of what happened, what's happening and what might happen in the future.

You're welcome...

I don't think they're big enough to create that much controversy.

Katy ended Demi's reign.

Well, while we're on the topic of 2001 isn't it weird how boyband members looked 35 then.



Now boybands actually look young like their audience.

Quite the opposite. Britney stans prefer Paris Hilton and for some strange reason think Kim is unknown outside the US (A lot of Gaga stans say this too).

The only good thing that came out of that horrendous bubblegum pop era is Justin Timberlake.

I don't hate any of the main pop girls except Brinny. And then Nicki too but she's not a pop girl or main.

I think this just mirrors where we are at now versus then. Teens and young adults looked a ton older than what they were either thanks to diet/genetics/fashion, whereas nowadays they tend to look younger than their age.

I think the past generation just looked more mature for their age.
Compare pics of Bey, Brit, X etc at 21 to Selena, Ariana etc... it's weird.

People on twitter were saying the ratings bombed for the premiere.

I actually think it would do well today. It has a timeless sound that still is fresh and nowadays when Miley is twerking and wearing fake dreads as an accessory it would probably be expected.

In 2001, it was taboo but still sexy enough to work without being too raunchy coughs Dirrty coughs

impact in my opinion
britney wins

Piracy had an effect because of napster and not that's not a racist term. look it up.
Britney's albums as well as many others would have sold way more had napster not ate up some sales.

She usually had 1/4 of her singles with cd releases. her debut era had 1/2 the singles released with CD singles
TRL was way more impactful because radio would make a song stuck in your head. A visual would make a song stuck in your head and an iconic imagery would make you invest in the brand. Guess who dominated the TRL era.

britney always wins and I'm glad you BACKED DOWN from your silly analogy after you got GOT.
When everyone realizes and stops trying to fight that ranking as the 6th best selling female artist of all time makes Britney the winner of her and 21st century generation....
watch your growth...

Exponentially reaching levels that everyone can't attain.

How could anyone hate Brit

[ToLove]

My favorite back then were those corny teen shows where these people who were in their late 20's/early 30's were trying to convince the audience that they were in high school. It was hilarious.

I don't think they hate her tbh just her stans

Brit is adorable

[lilMonsterKayla]

the late 90s/early 00s were cool because the weirdest & ugliest people were allowed fame. and "weird" was actually LIT, unlike kesha wearing "pink tape all over her body [;!!" and Gaga having a "big nose !!"



click this jam before it's too late so weird how a thin, talentless, 35-year-old ginger was attempting to be a bubblegum pop princess.
