Circus singles were more successful. But I know what you mean.

I don't think the kid's main concern is if they like the artist or not. At that young of an age they'll buy whatever song sounds good to them.

Globally, yes. She lost the UK even more with FF, for example.

Well most people I know don't stay at the theater when the movie ends , but @Retro if you say a lot of people stay during the credits then thats a good thing because families are going to listen to the song then.


and anyways... I don't know why so many people is opposed to a music video for "Ooh la la"

Both US and Globally .. and in UK and Mars , the Circus singles were more successful than FF singles

[CaptainMusic]

The only thing Circus has over FF singles is Womanizer.

TTWE destroyed Circus worldwide and while it underperformed in markets and the UK, it did well/decently in the latter's countparts (Ireland & Scotland) and smashed in places like Spain where she was struggling. It sucks that it didn't get any worldwide promo like Womanizer did cuz it really could've been a huge hit with big markets like Germany and the UK on board.

IWG also did miles better than IUSA almost everywhere, that's not even up for debate. Criminal and Radar..............it's the battle of the flops, they performed poorly but Radar performed worse.

Criminal was a bigger hit actually. It actually had decent peaks.

Looking at it now it actually outperformed Circus and IUSA in several markets.

It would've went top 10 in Sweden too (as would IWG) had it not been for that new streaming rule they implemented at the start of 2011, it had great airplay there if i remember correctly.

I will never understand how the hell "Criminal" went #1 in Brazil, but I suppose I won't question it!

[chris1991]

I don't even think we should focus on Ooh La La. We should save our energy for album 8's first single.

If Ooh la la goes no where, fine.
If it smashes, then thats cool too.
Just a thought.

Yeah, I have a feeling most of her fans are just going to buy it within the first two weeks, then sit back and watch whatever happens with the GP. They won't actually push for anything until the lead single of album 8 is released.

It was actually the biggest hit from the era there.

It even cracked the top 10 year-end chart.

[Tropez]

I'm guessing it was Brazil who made it the fourth single.

I know, it's insane.

I love the song though, I wish it had done that well worldwide!

[Mr Telephone Man]

We need to spam Jeff on twitter and ask him if he has heard anything from Album 8

It worries me though how DIplo is also working with Katy and Britney

[Jacobbb]

Criminal is just

I will NEVER forgive Team Britney for not releasing Inside Out.

I know.

I still wanted Inside Out though.

I think it would've at least reached the Top 20 had it been released but oh well. I'm still glad fans chose Criminal, just as long as it wasn't Drop Dead Beautiful.

[Tropez]

I don't think Inside Out would've done that well for some reason.

Sales don't lie:

Womanizer 6,5M
Circus 5,5M (as of 2009 according to IFPI) around 6M as of 2013
If u seek amy 2M
Radar 0,8M

Hold it against me 3M
Till the world ends 4M
I wanna go 2,7M
Criminal 0,6M


*Womanizer was one of Britney's biggest hits ever
*Circus was one of the top 10 selling singles of 2009 worldwide (source: IFPI)
*If u seek amy was a top 20 hit in UK (unlike TTWE )
*Radar has more digital sales WW than Criminal, and it flopped because it was released as single 2 years later of "Blackout", Criminal was all brand new even with a special remix made for the single / video


Oh and Circus singles had no payola .. face it , Circus singles destroyed FF singles

TTWE was only 1 spot lower. Not that big a difference.
