In reality, this isn't really doing that well. Here's why.
This is her first single from a studio album in years, there should be a lot of hype behind this release and there really isn't. KIIS FM refuses to play it and a lot of the smaller markets aren't jumping on it. Combine that with the fact that she only has CHR POP/RHYTHMIC on her side, her traditionally low digital sales and it all adds up to a bad peak on the HOT 100.
The fact is, this song isnt catchy and there is nothing that makes it stand out from what else is on the radio right now. It really does sound like an album filler and there is nothing that makes it special and even her delusional fans admit it. This will have a fast rise on the pop charts and then she will hit a wall and then free fall because there is nothing to make this song stand on its own two feet. It's flat and I see the call outs for this being mostly negative.
She only has herself and her team to blame. She really embarassed herself by going with what the label wanted instead of going with her own instincts and releasing "Glam". Atleast that sounded somewhat interesting and different for radio but instead she released a Britney/Girlicious left over from 2008 and there you have it.
Nowdays a 1st single will make or break your project (only a few years ago could a 2nd single save your era i.e Mariah with WBT and Christina with BEAUTIFUL, Britney with TOXIC) so now she is left with a mediocre song on radio and a slew of new and more interesting female artists to compete with. She should have released in time for the VMA's then started her promotion with that lame movie as a tie in.
She totally blew it with this comeback

Stunning.
Christina and her stans just hyped up the Bionic era so much. I knew this would blow up in their faces. Ever since they all tried to convince themselves that Christina was behind iamamiwhoami, expectations were WAAAAAAAAAAYYYYY too high for Christina. I knew she wouldn't meet those expectations, and she'd deliver something sub-par.
Have I mentioned that some of the biggest radio stations here in the UK have barely touched this? Radio 1 (the biggest radio station in the UK) jumped all over ANOM and KGB, yet they didn't even touch NMT. Same with Capital FM (the biggest radio station in London).
