Yall are seriously looking like pressed idiots trying to pretend the radio ban didn't happen.

But the excuse is that "Everytime" wasn't a hit because Britney was blacklisted from Radio yet "Toxic" which was the release before "Everytime" was a #1 Pop radio hit... So sis what's the truth?

Why are American so self-centred? There's a whole other world out there.

Great point.

It doesn't even matter because she has some of the best dance records in pop music.

This has nothing to do with the thread

She's released more ballads as singles than most of the pop girls - it's easy to forget that since none of them made the top 10.

Literally no Army members ever said that she was blacklisted for Everytime. The blacklist ended after Me Against the Music.

Everytime (Her best ballad) should have gone Top 10

a fine opinion, but this thread is about the fact that it did not go top 10.

Britney's not really known for her ballads.



Anyway, these two were close enough, so the top 10 distinction is kind of irrelevant. A hit is a hit

#14 From the Bottom of My Broken Heart
#15 Everytime

So basically "Everytime" was simply a legit flop

Well, at least she's trying.

Ot: Ballads are very hard to sell, and Britney doesn't have the star power to make real sounding music become hits.

Yeah, sure

[Rei]

Who cares?

She has more classics than the other girls, has two diamond albums and I'm pretty sure most Army members don't stan for Britney Spears because of her ballads.

Personally Britney's ballads are from the only ones I can stan. I'm not here for strong voices on ballads because I feel like ballads sound better with "weak" voices and are also supposed to sound vulnerable and IMO a strong voice doesn't sound vulnerable.

so you mean the whole britney was blacklisted is nothing more than a convenient excuse?

No, the thing is that she WAS blacklisted but it started halfway through I'm A Slave 4 U's chart run and ended with the release of Toxic.

OT: Ballads need to be promoted and sung live. Britney does neither. (I'm a stan don't attack me girls)

Mediatraffic isn't an official chart. What about real charts?

These 5 were WW top 10 hits. In fact, BTMYH wasn't released in the US yet reached #1 on the WW chart. Britney's singles weren't successful in the US before 2007 but she was still smashing WW.
