The only tracks that are well produced and can pass on any Britney album are Work Bitch, Perfume, Brightest Morning Star, and Hold On Tight. Vocals aren't messed up and production doesn't sound cheap or anything.
ISBE is amazing, but the production is definitely very overused. Then there's Alien which is a masterpiece, but lots of fans complain about the vocal glitch (stupid complaint) so I suppose that should be taken into account, but if you aren't picky, then it definitely belongs as one of the songs that can fit on any other album.
But then there's Body Ache which is poorly produced and a bad S&S remake. WB was a good S&S remake. TTB is TERRIBLY produced, Passenger has horrid vocals and cheap production, and NTIFY is a WMU rip off.
Til It's Gone is outdated but it's good cuz I really like her vocals and the breakdown is kinda godly despite being repetitive.
Chillin With You and DC are both just there. Not terrible but just not much to do with them.
I really don't think WB and S&S are that alike. And I love the production on Body Ache.

And Chillinwitchu is awesome!
I know, but people say that the talking chorus thing is too similar to S&S. I personally think WB has a lot more spark to it and is way catchier despite not having a hook as strong as S&S. Plus, the WB breakdown goes WAY harder than S&S.
And I CAN'T take CWU and it's opening vocals with the cracking. It just irritates me.
But I guess it's like a superior version of Mmm Papi. Both are just weird ass songs.

The talking chorus is literally the only similarity. But yeah, WB is much better. The last 2 minutes are incredible.
As much as I love Britney and will root for her success no matter what, I feel like BJ had mad potential to outsell FF. We can all pretend to be grateful for this era but all I'm saying is that a little success could've been a good thing for us. I feel so bad because a boring song like Drunk In Love has given Bey a top 2 hit on BB when BJ had so many tracks that could've helped with almost everything.

Sweetie, the BBH100 means nothing after Harlem Shake was crowned #1

Right. Better than anything on Britney Jean even with Jay on it.
Why did Jay Z have to step in such a flawless track? It's still amazing but you know what I mean.
Although I don't think it's better than everything on BJ. WB and Alien are better, and ISBE and TIG are just as good imo.
ISBE and Body Ache are the only weak points on the album. The album is great in terms of quality, but just remarkably un-notable. While it's good, it's nothing special.

I know about that platinum shipments thing, but it said "moving over 1 million copies" and "sales of over 1 million units" so it did sell 1 million copies!
