The hype from Blindgossip alone is huge. That site is mostly read by 25-35 year old women aka, the people that would have fallen in love with Britney when she first came out.
Getting Britney to wear a frickin Fresh Off the Runway piece before it even went ON the Runway (upstaging fricking Rihanna) for the single cover shoot, making it catch the attention of fashionistas and get talked about in fashion blogs which have a surprisingly large online readership.
Getting the top music bloggers to get an exclusive first listen of the song.
Sending the song out early to radio DJs so that when one of them inevitably leaks it, they can get the days of extra spins and release the song early on Monday with all of the hype already pre-built from everything they've been doing.

Oh...and hyping her fans up to the effing heavens.

Larry is truly a marketing wizard

As someone who loves marketing, this is like heaven for me

Oh...and the little "slipup" with Sebastian's name definitely was on purpose if not an industry standard. Swedish House Mafia has a huge fanbase that doesn't exactly listen to Britney, so the exposure and interest from new music appreciaters is definitely win win.
Reminds me of how they kept drumming up the dubstep and various top-notch dubstep producer rumors before FF, and it got a lot of Dubstep focused boards incredibly excited and writing lengthy essays on Britney and what it meant to their genre going mainstream, etc.

Not to mention, Sebastian got Billboard to write up on him about Britney's song. Win.

Britney and her team aren't playing around this era
You've made me even more excited

What kind of promo did britney/her team do for FF when Hold it Against Me came out? I can't remember if they actually did any kind of promo

They spread rumors around that Deadmau5 and some other dubstep guys were going to produce, and they let the rumors build and build, even though they knew Dr. Luke was going to produce most of it.

The hype from the dubstep forums was huge I didn't even know they existed, but some of the Britney related threads stretched like 10 pages

It's so sad that some of the gays make fun of Britney being "muscular" on this site. She's probably more muscular than them, and they are probably jealous. LOL.

Guys, can we not drag Britney anywhere else except here? It makes all of us look bad based on your behalf. We're ALL going to have future meltdowns later on, but just rant here.

Regularly checking and praying that Wrecking Balls slows down on iTunes.

Larry's going to give her a full week so she can knock Katy off her perch, and then the song is going to mysteriously disappear, only to meld the album and single version

omg this kills me.



This is tha first time I find him cute.

yes, but they accomplished their goals HIAM set an, at the time, record breaking debut week

and a lot of the forum goers were all "It's not dubstep, but it's pretty good. Woulda thunk it? Britney? " and then "OMG, the breakdown is like straightup deadmau5!!!1111"

[Ozzy8923]

I hope Larry cannibalizes Wrecking Ball by putting it as a pre-order only single.

That way it'll have to climb back up and Britney will be at the top of iTunes by then.

i don't think britney's had this much direct competition before, wrecking ball & roar are both monsters, and now we potentially have JT?

Rihlax, Britney will debut at #1 even with low spins and sales. She always does with her lead afterall. Ha!

[Reza]

its clear that Britney will reach the top of itunes. I have no worries about that.
