Aguilera stands up to BULLIES
"We're all so beautiful - no matter what they say - 'cause they say a lot"
It has come to our sudden attention that bullying is responsible for a large proportion of suicide rates in the world. Whilst we acknowledge this 'feat', not much is done about this growing monster of a problem. So, Aguilera decided to use her voice in such a way to address this issue directly. The blue-eyed Latina had just recently birthed her daughter, Olivia Aguilera-Rutler, so she must've been feeling a little concerned about the topic of bullying especially since her son [Max Liron Bratman] is currently transitioning into middle school.
Bullying is an incredibly layered force to be recokened with in today's society. It has forever been in existence, however, never to this extent. At least we aware of it even when some of the proposed solutions aren't helping anybody. This is a serious matter, which is why it's such a wondrous thing that Aguilera felt the need to express her views on bullying. Many people (especially young kids) look up to Christina so she's a good role model, if anything, for what action we're going to approach such a beast as bullying.
Christina Aguilera has always been notorious for sparking a revolution with her second single "Beautiful" off of her 2002 record - Stripped. However, ever since the Internet's becoming even more prevalent in people's lives (with technology advancing at such a rapid rate), it only made sense to speak out against this new form of cyber bullying. Xtina is an inspirational figure who continues to utilise her position for the greater good. We applaud everything that she has done and will later do in the future.
Aguilera's lead single "Nighthawks" is now available for purchase.

So after the song has been on the charts for a week do we just drop it and release a new one, or can we continue promoting it to hit # 1? I am new to the game, so I am not sure if the game works better moving forward?

It's your work, you promote as long as you want.
In general people will promote singles for 2-4 weeks before doing a next one in the era.

Lyrics
This is it, this is the night.
I am the woman of your life
No time for mistakes
No time for games
Better play your cards right if you wanna get me tonight
I see you staring me down
You don’t bother to look at the crowd cuz you like what you see
You know what you want
But do you have what it takes?
You needa be a real man if you want this cake
If you want me baby you need to….
Gimme your best!
No time for anything less
You gotta give me all you got and then more
I don’t have time for disappointments
You gotta gimme your best
There’s no other option
This is a test you can only perfect it or lose it all
This aint any other challenge
This is the real deal
This is your last chance
Better stand up and gimme your best shot baby
You only got tonight
If you mess it up, you’ll regret it for the rest of your life
It’s your last chance, come on be a man
Show me you can take me, better drive me craaazzyyy for you.
Intoxicate with me your loving, show me all of your best moves
Baby this is your one and only shot
So you bettaah…
Gimme your best.
You’ve got tough girls before
But never like this….
You’ve never been with a girl like.. britney, bitch.
I’m hot like fire
Your one true desire
I’ll take you higher than cloud nine
With me you’ll always have a good time
They say that girl is so beautiful
Oh her smile lights up the world
And If you want me to be your girl
You know what you need to do..
Oh baby come on come on
and Gimme Your Beessssstttttt tonight
You gotta be better than all the rest of them
Who try and fail to capture my love
They’re not good enough
I need a man who has what it takes
A man who deserves me
Show me that you want it
Show me you’ll do anything for it
Show me you adore it
Gimme Your Best tonight….
And just maybe… you’ll get me
ooh ooh oooooooh
ooh ooh ooooooooh
Gimme Your Best babe
Gimme Your Best babe
ooh ooh ooooooh
ooh ooh ooooooh
Gimme Your Best Shot
The song “debuted” Good Morning America with a performance by Britney, she let everyone know it was on iTunes as it was put on iTunes right after the performance ended. The song is also receiving promotion on iTunes.
Deranged served it's purpose as a buzz single to launch Britney's new era and promote her upcoming documentary/album.
Gimme Your Best is the lead single off Britney's untitled album, a classic Britney pop masterpiece with a lot of potential.
Gimme Your Best is a straight up pop masterpiece. Featuring catchy lyrics by both Max Martin and Britney herself, the beat brings us back to the 2000s bubble gum pop while maintaining a fresh and sexy sound. While most of the song is pop it definitely has parts with urban influences, leaving potential to be a crossover hit on radio. Fans of Britney are calling it one of Britney's best lead singles ever, a fresh and undeniably catch pop tune from Miss Spears. Britney knows how to make hits and this song is no different from all her other pop classics. It sucks you in right at the beginning with its classic pop instrumental as it gradually becomes more urban sexy and powerful while remaining the classic pop background. Gimme Your Best could become one of the biggest hits of Britney's career if it is well marketed, no one can deny Spears' power after she was able to go #4 on the charts with a buzz single. Gimme Your Best has the catchiness necessary to become a big hit, and it wont be much of a surprise to see it do well worldwide.

"Gunshots", featuring Taylor Swift, gets rereleased as a brand new single
After Zendaya's recently released single, "Gunshots", didn't appear on the latest charts which were released earlier today, singer and actress decided to surprise everyone by completely rereleasing her latest single. However, the rerelease wasn't that much of a surprise, and the mostly surprising and schoking thing about this rerelease is probably because Taylor Swift is now listed as a featured artist on Zendaya's single. The rereleased track, which is now 3:48 long, serves you an impressive mixture of mainstream pop and urban/rhythmic styles. The original version of "Gunshots" is a little bit shorter than the new one, and the previous version didn't feature any artist on it, so some new lyrics and lines, which were written by Taylor Swift, were added to the song. Following the rerelease of "Gunshots", Zendaya also released a whole new statement on Republic Records official website, explaining all about this huge new step, and why she decided to rerelease the song in the first place: "I understand that this step was actually unexpected and it was surprising to all of you. Believe it or not, it was unexpected to me as well, as I didn't imagine I would manage to get Taylor Swift to collaborate with me on a urban-ish rhythmic song, it just happened so quickly and the chemistry was just... so natural. This new version, it happened really fast, but I'm proud of what we were able to come up with. I hope you all like this new version of "Gunshots", because I really do like it, and so does Taylor, at least she told me she does. If you want my honest opinion, I didn't like original version's chorus, it wasn't as strong as it could have been, , but thankfully, Taylor agreed to collaborate with me on this song, and she replaced me during choruses and also the bridge, making this song way stronger than it previously was. And I honestly think that she made this song way more interesting now. I loved the original version, but I love this one even more, because it feels more, I don't know how to describe it... Unique? Originaly? Yeah... And I think people really like those kind of urban slashed pop songs, because those kind of songs do well on charts and become iconic hits, for example like, Eminem's and Rihanna's songs like "The Monster" or "Love The Way You Lie", or even Angel Haze's and Sia's collaboration "Battle Cry". So, I really hope you will enjoy this thing that me and Taylor created together in the studio. I'm happy to announce that the new version of "Gunshots" is now available to purchase on iTunes and Amazon, while the original old version got removed, and I hope it's for the best. Also, you guys will be able to purchase this song physically sometime this week as well, so that's even more exciting and fun! Both me and Taylor will be performing on various TV shows and places this week, you will be able to see us probably on every TV show in America and even in UK as well, and besides all of that, a lot of other exciting stuff is coming up as well, so just stay tuned and be pacient!"
After the new version of "Gunshots" was released on iTunes, and after Zendaya, Taylor and the producer of this song, Mike WiLL Made It, all tweeted out the link of iTunes store page, the song suddenly and unexpectedly jumped about thirty spots higher on the charts as it entered Top 5, becoming Zendaya's highest charting song on the iTunes charts yet. The previous and original version of "Gunshots" has been lurking in the Top 40 for about a week now since it was released on iTunes last Sunday, which was pretty weird, because it managed to stay stable and not freefalled or blew up, even without much promo or anything else. Republic Records announced that they have booked a lot of promotion for both Zendaya and Taylor this week to promote their collaboration, so it seems that their duet will probably rise even more spots on the iTunes and Amazon charts, and hopefully it will enter the official charts next week.
