well any of those girls listed could have replaced her. it only needed a small boost that week to hit #1 because it was battling another song that had an extra remix.

The Britney S&M remix was a flop otherwise. I would bet my life Katy Perry or Lady Gaga would've been bigger.

I don't think people remember how close S&M was to NOT being #1. ET was right on its tail. It all came down to how much more the remix of S&M sold than ET's remix. Britney definitely did give Rihanna the #1. Had the remix been with someone else (Kesha, Katy) we don't know that the same strong fanbase would've been there to frontload the sales. If I remember correctly it was literally like 20-30K sales that made the diffference and gave S&M the number one. I don't think a remix with someone else would've given us those extra 20-30K copies.

.

And the point still stands, that it was BRITNEY who was featured on the remix. Making HER stans interested in buying the remix. The song would not have gone #1 without a remix, and since BRITNEY was on the remix. She made the song go to #1. Case closed.

Yes girl! But that was Rated R! we are dicussing the #1 S&M.


Plus that that wasn't Princess riri's fault! She was just expressing her true feelings on the album! And It was a perfect album so SHUSH!

why are people talking about Rated R as if it's a flop in here....
3-3.5 million is still a lot more than 1.2?

So you're saying Rihanna doesn't think Britney is special enough to get a mention she has to be grouped with "women"? Interesting

no, i mean she knew she wouldn't be abler to name them all so she continued with "Women"

[amandatheafter]

that is so ungrateful!

Oh no, I don't think that she dislikes Beyoncé. Just... a few other people on that list.

Gerl you know im right. Shes much more popular then Ke$ha internationally. I'd like to see Ke$ha sell out a 30,000 arena in peru or anywhere for that matter.

I don't even know why it's up for debate. I thought it was pretty obvious, but I guess not. S&M was a very successful single on its own, but it was stuck at #2 and blocked from #1 constantly by a slew of different songs that outsold it each week. The remix with BRITNEY was what gave it the opportunity to have that one week where it outsold the competition by a fair amount and grab the number 1 on Billboard. I don't think it's worth arguing with people that can't see it though.

Well, I guess she forgot about the remix just as quickly as everyone else did.

Billboard didn't, and that's what matters.

Ew. This isn't cute!
First of all Britney would never shade Ke$ha. She has said nothing but sweet things about Kesha and vise versa!
And second of all the pic just no! Flop!

Oh how quickly you all forget.
