Britney can afford to flop right now. She's proved her longevity and staying power unlike Gaga (who is getting outsold 2:1 by her peer Katy Perry and an ex Disney star)
past tense.
so if gaga is getting sold 2:1 by them , whats the ratio for britney?
shall we compare Gaga's lead single from her third album to Knee's?
Slave 4 U generated a huge buzz. Everybody knows that song and video. Almost everyone's favourite song by Britney is either Toxic, BOMT and Slave. I always here people say "THAT BRITNEY AND PHARRELL JOINT IS MY JAMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM".
You like to tease me and when I respond make me look like an idiot, therefore I played the safe route by being literal
1-0 ONEN
You made yourself look like an idiot by saying that because Gaga did twitter promo, Applause should have gone #1. Like, every artist tweets about their songs. If that's how it worked, every single song would go #1. Don't put that on me

Slave 4 U: Better video, better VMA performance (iconic). Went top 10 in more countries WW. Will be more remembered than Applause despite having a radio ban.
"Applause" is a hit by definition, but it's not strong enough to lead off the album. It didn't really provide much buzz, and that's why first week predictions are pretty conservative right now. I bet her label is hoping for something bigger with "Venus."
i'm tired of people saying "it didn't provide enough buzz" when Applause has been everywhere.
already
