Loose-Blackout-Rihanna-Lady Gaga
Of course before all of this we had Confessions on a Dancefloor by Madonna but again before that we had In the Zone. It all traces back to something older but since Electropop boomed during 2007, the credit goes to Blackout but Loose can also be considered THE album that paved way for other pop stars to follow suit. Loose was in a way a varied album but had majority of the album electronic music. Blackout was the first commercially successful full pledged electropop album during that time. Don't call it a flop because 3 million copies is 3 million copies sold with Gimme More and Piece of Me being huge international hits. The right material at the right time. Britney did it and she deserves to be credited.

To me loose will always be remembered for its contribution to the brief urban pop trend that Gwen, fergie, justin, beyonce and rihanna were doing.
Madonnas confession had influences from toxic producers but the dance pop era is a chicken and egg game. Rihanna put out gggb but started out with the dying urban pop trend (I.e. umbrella, hate that I love you). However, Britney released gimme more and piece of me before don't stop the music and disturbia so technically it can go either way...just like withdubstep. Rihanna had promo single wait yourn turn bit Britney had freakshow before her in 07 as well as hold it against me before her brief use in her you da one and other ttt and unapologetic songs.
Either way, the two princesses are trendsetters. That's all.

That's ok then. At least we Will still have Rhythmic radios 
And oh I maybe got confused between urban and Rhythmic radio  |
You ate confused, per usual. Rhythmic is where she gets played. Those stations are not urban bit play more r&b and urban leaning music with r&b hip hop songs. rhythmic is more diverse.

They will never play Britney, urban radio won't play her unless she becomes like Gwen Stefani or Nelly Furtado (who they supported in 06.

All she needs is pop, stronger hot ac and stronger rhythmic play and she'll be fine.
at least for the right person
