You know....I just started to think about why Britney released a 1st quarter album, but with Jive wrapping up, it all makes sense now. Jive rushed Britney to release this 1st Quarter not to save just their fiscal year, but to milk Britney one last time before they went under and Barry Weiss leaves the label.
It all makes sense now. If Britney waited to release this album for the Fall or Winter, it would have been under RCA and not JIVE. They had to milk their cash cow one last time before the split occurred. It always baffled me why they would bother releasing a 1st Quarter album if they weren't going to promote this project hard both domestically and worldwide, now we know why. I really wish we didn't get Femme Fatale till the summer like a June or July release, a time period where sales have already recovered and all.
