And FF has TV Spots, I've seen them and I don't even live in the US. Anyway, the 2008 VMA promotion?
I didn't know theyboosted Circus' sales
And TCSBS? We're getting a tour too in this era, so I guess that's another scracth on your list. The S&S Tour? Promo? Don't think so sis, we're talking about promo related to
THE GODDAMN ALBUM, not some random appearances.
So that pretty much scratched up everything in your list and only leaves GMA, couple of magazine covers, Twitter and FB, the Bline (yess, Circus wouldn't have sold 500K if it weren't for this), and the new launching website which B.com just launched a new website too.
Anything else?

I don't give a **** about the US. people don't go around saying Britney sold 1.6 million copies of Circus. People care about WORLDWIDE sales. what's the point of doing more promo in the US? they need promo outside of the US for the international sales. Worldwide >> US.
Femme Fatale has had irrelevant ads on YouTube. I have yet to watch one on television. where are the posters promoting Femme Fatale? There's one or two up. Britney was splattered everywhere with Circus.
The 2008 VMA appearance, co-hosting was promo. It was the official comeback of Britney. It was a few months before the album release. Do you think people saw her on the show and ignored her? Of course not. People saw her and they GOOGLED her and they saw that she was releasing a new album in a few months. That's PROMO. showing up on hyped up/ high rated shows. Same thing goes for every other appearance she did. If they were irrelevant and didn't do anything for her sales, Jive and Britney wouldn't have bothered. Showing up at these events, equals press, equals hits, equals SALES.
The B Hotline and the website was HYPE. All these small things helped Britney. Like it or not, they helped Britney get out there, get her image back which resulted in her sales!!!!
I'm going to be laughing at you when Britney underperforms with this album. I'm tired of stanwars when I have to defend flops.
And yes, I said flops.
Hold It Against Me is a HUGE flop and Till The World Ends is already a disappointment.
The one thing I do wish for is her number one album. She could open up with 5 copies, I just want her to debut at number one. Other than that, I have no hope for this era anymore.
