I'm not reading a novel on Britney Spears You can give me a summary, though.

It's all laid out in the article. I can't explain it better than that. If you don't wanna read it to figure out why that's up to you.

You accidentally posted the article twice. Still, if someone's too lazy to read it, whatever...

You know what trueiopian, I'll do this. There's actually an entire article on idolator that discussed this. I looked it up just so you and anybody else that's curious can look at it. (This is when Womanizer went to #1)

Here:

Ten years ago this month—Oct. 23, 1998, to be exact—Jive Records released a savvy, Max Martin–produced pop trifle called “…Baby One More Time.” It went on to top Billboard’s Hot 100 in the winter of 1999 and kick off teen-pop’s headiest, craziest and silliest year of cultural dominance.

It was also the last time former Mouseketeer, aspiring starlet and pop fetish object Britney Spears would top the premier U.S. singles chart—until this week, when Spears (as predicted) shoots from the chart’s bottom rungs to the penthouse with “Womanizer.” In the process, she ousts rap king T.I. and duet partner Rihanna; defeats a record he set twice in the last two months for the biggest leap to the top in Billboard history; beats Mariah Carey’s record for one-week digital sales by a female act; and consummates a year-long effort to rehabilitate her career.

When I speak about Britney’s rehabilitation, I’m not just referring to her well-publicized efforts to turn around a half-decade of tabloid-level personal breakdown. I’m also referring to her surprisingly checkered U.S. chart history. Indeed, the first question some of you might be asking yourselves is, How is this only her second No. 1 hit?

The short answer: she’s arguably gotten screwed by the refs. To a chart geek like me, Spears comes off as a victim of a decade of erratic industry practices and radical shifts in Hot 100 chart rules.

By the same token, the industry practices and chart rules that have hurt her all these years help her disproportionately this week. Last week, a solid showing at radio brought “Womanizer” to the Hot 100 a bit earlier than expected, and it debuted at No. 96. This week, sales of 286,000 make radio almost irrelevant, and the song shoots to No. 1. Over the past four years, the Hot 100 has become a chart where radio airplay is pretty important but digital sales are massively important—and the first two chart weeks of “Womanizer” show it.

In 1998–99, when Spears scored her first hit, the Hot 100 was in transition. Back then, the digital market was essentially nonexistent, the physical single was disappearing, and Billboard was about to make a move that would give radio even greater sway over chart performance than it already had. In December 1998, the Hot 100 was converted from a singles chart to a songs chart, making album cuts and promotional tracks not available for sale to the public eligible to chart for the first time. So began a half-decade of total radio dominance, with singles sales an afterthought.

Mind you, “…Baby One More Time” was released as a retail single, and it benefited mightily, reaching No. 1 on the Hot 100 thanks largely to the platinum sales it racked up in the weeks before Spears’ similarly-titled album dropped in 1999. But as Jive elected to release fewer of her subsequent hits as singles, and as radio came to dominate the Hot 100, “…Baby” was the last Spears single to benefit so greatly from sales for years.

Here’s the complete list of her Hot 100 hits—I have bolded her Top 10s:


“…Baby One More Time” (No. 1, 1999)
“Sometimes” (No. 21, 1999)
“(You Drive Me) Crazy” (No. 10, 1999)
“From the Bottom of My Broken Heart” (No. 14, 2000)
“Oops!…I Did It Again” (No. 9, 2000)
“Lucky” (No. 23, 2000)
“Stronger” (No. 11, 2000)
“I’m a Slave 4 U” (No. 27, 2001)
“Overprotected” (No. 86, 2002)
“Me Against the Music” (feat. Madonna) (No. 35, 2003)
“Toxic” (No. 9, 2004)
“Everytime” (No. 15, 2004)
“Outrageous” (No. 79, 2004)
“Do Somethin’“ (No. 100, 2005)
“Gimme More” (No. 3, 2007)
“Piece of Me” (No. 18, 2007)
“Break the Ice” (No. 43, 2008)
“Womanizer” (No. 1, 2008)


That’s six Top 10s out of 18 hits, or one out of three. (I’m not even including songs Jive promoted that didn’t make the Hot 100.) It’s a respectable yield over a decade for the average pop star, but Spears isn’t average–she has been, for better or worse, the defining female pop star of her time. Madonna’s or Mariah Carey’s people wouldn’t tolerate this kind of performance; how did Spears end up with such a mixed record?

(You can quip here if you like about the quality of Spears’ oeuvre, and I’m not her biggest fan either—I waver from song to song. But (a) since when have the charts been entirely about artistic merit? And (b) it’s arguable that the sheer volume of media attention and label promotion Spears has received should produce better results than this.)

Here’s what you don’t see glancing at the above list:

• Four of those hits (“Sometimes,” “Oops,” “Lucky,” “Overprotected”) were airplay-only in the United States.

• Four more (“Crazy,” “Slave,” “Everytime,” “Outrageous”) were released in the States only on 12-inch vinyl. The last two of those vinyl singles were also available on iTunes—but in 2004, at a time when digital sales weren’t included on the Hot 100.

• Also in 2004, the masterful “Toxic” was a huge seller at iTunes, but again, at that time it didn’t count; the song only squeaked into the Top 10 by ranking No. 1 at Top 40 radio.

• Two of her earlier hits, “…Broken Heart” and “Stronger,” were released as normal CD singles and sold superbly (platinum and gold, respectively); but by then, airplay was so critical to chart position that the songs’ underperformance at radio prevented either one from making the Top 10.

• The last five songs on the list charted in an era when iTunes sales counted toward the Hot 100, and all of them—even the unpromoted, No. 100–peaking “Do Somethin’”—probably charted better than they otherwise would have, thanks entirely to digital sales.

In short, after “…Baby,” there’s some kind of caveat on practically every hit Spears ever had, related to format, chart quirks and the development of the digital economy, rather than the relative quality or fan-friendliness of any of the songs. If Spears had been a pop star in an earlier era, when singles availability was predictable and airplay had a normal influence over the charts, she might not have gone Top 10 every time, but she likely would have had a more consistent chart presence.

Judging both on quality and on cultural resonance, the thumping “Womanizer” isn’t half as great a song as, say, the lower-charting “Toxic.” But let’s give Britney her due. Radio wouldn’t have jumped on “Womanizer” two weeks ago if the song weren’t catchy, and if she weren’t perceived as “back” in a pop-star sense. The solid hits she scored off last year’s Blackout went a long way toward reestablishing her hitmaking credibility.

And the public wouldn’t have snapped up nearly 300,000 copies of the song if she weren’t an object of fascination again, one worthy of 99 cents and about four minutes of their time.

Before the birth of the digital era, radio play and physical singles made up the brunt of the Hot 100. In Britney's early career, JIVE Records would always forgo physical singles for album sales. There's a reason why her numbers were outstanding compared to some of her peers who would release singles to get higher chart positions. Couple that with the fact that until recently, she's had very limited appeal to formats outside of pop radio and there you have it. For example, even though Toxic was an unbelievable smash on Top 40, she still couldn't topple Usher's Yeah! because he was being exposed on all stations. (Pop/Rhythmic/Urban) This was all before the digital market took affect where the public themselves could literally go to I-Tunes and buy whatever they wanted.

And as a side-note, during the Britney album, Clear Channel, which controls every major radio station in the US was supposed to sponsor her "Dream Within A Dream" world tour (supporting Britney), but she ended up changing her mind going with Pepsi, which pissed the Clear Channel off causing them to blacklist her on US radio. She was never on the radio. And that's why all the singles from the album flopped. Once she signed the contract with Clear Channel for "The Onyx Hotel" tour (supporting In The Zone), she got a lot more play.

Before the digital era? There are artists from the 80's that earned 4 #1's with just one album

I know what you mean. I cant say I've ever been a fan in the same way I am for Michael, but I grew up with Britney and know everything about her career without even trying. I think you cant help but like her in some way. So while I dont enjoy the song I'm happy for her success.

since I was 15 she was everywhere shoved in our faces so I know what you mean, but even though her singles were catchy, I was more into r&b/hip hop and michael & janet those times and managed to get several britney albums cause of singles I liked or discovering non album cuts, but her voice annoys me

I lost baby one more time and don't plan to buy it, i threw out oops and then downloaded the songs I do like, I bought in the zone for madonna and ended up liking a lot of the album. Maybe I will buy a hits package at some point but that's it.... and I used to get angry she was copying janet so much and selling more than her that time, and silly people my age would hate on janet and kiss britney's ass, I thought it was racist and all kinds of stuff.

The question is why is she now just getting her 4th #1?

I rather have 5 number 1 albums than #1 singles.

She sold a lot of albums in the US, but the US isn't the only market, you know.

If you check the international charts, you can see she had a lot of top 10 songs.

Preach robert, preach.

First pic from video. What are those microphones? "If we could escape the crowd somehow"

I hope this has an epic breakdown/dance sequence. Like this:

Britney Spears Speeds Into Pop Songs Top 10

Britney Spears' "Hold It Against Me" becomes one of just seven songs to reach the Pop Songs top 10 in only two weeks, charging 16-10 with Greatest Gainer honors (5,601 plays, up 38%, with spins detected on all 130 reporting stations) on the Nielsen BDS-based radio airplay survey.

The song logs the speediest ascent to the top tier in more than six years:

Songs to Reach the Pop Songs Top 10 in Only Two Weeks

Artist, Title, Chart Move Into Top 10, Chart Date, Peak Pos.

Britney Spears, "Hold It Against Me," 16-10, Feb. 5, 2011, tbd
Eminem, "Just Lose It," 33-10, Oct. 16, 2004, No. 5
'N Sync, "Pop," 21-10, June 9, 2001, No. 5
Madonna, "Frozen," 16-10, March 14, 1998, No. 4
the Rembrandts, "I'll Be There for You," 22-10, June 3, 1995, No. 1, eight weeks
Mariah Carey, "Dreamlover," 12-4, Aug. 21, 1993, No. 1, eight weeks
Janet Jackson, "That's the Way Love Goes," 29-9, May 8, 1993, No. 1, nine weeks


Of the prior six such songs, the three earliest went on to spend multiple weeks at No. 1. The next three, however, failed to reach the top three, raising the question: Will "Hold It Against Me" be a fast-rising - but fast-burning - radio hit? Or, can it sustain momentum?

Early programmer reaction bodes well. "Just saying the name 'Britney' conjures up instant recognition like any other intimately familiar brand," says WKCI/New Haven, Conn., program director Stan 'The Man' Priest, who considers Spears "undoubtedly a pop culture fixture."

Also a positive: "Hold It Against Me" blasted in atop Digital Songs last week with 411,000 downloads sold, according to Nielsen SoundScan. (On the Billboard Hot 100, the song became one of just 18 in the chart's 52-year history to launch at No. 1).

Of the previous six quickest Pop Songs top 10s, only Janet Jackson's "That's the Way Love Goes" reigned at retail, having led the Hot Singles Sales physical singles sales chart for five weeks in 1993.

Britney Spears Returning to 'Edgy' Sound on New Album

While Britney Spears's new single, "Hold It Against Me," may have provided an upbeat preview of her new album, what will the rest of the work sound like?

"It's way more edgy than the last album," songwriter Claude Kelly, who composed several tracks for the as-yet-untitled album, tells PEOPLE at a New York NARAS reception. He adds that Spears, 29, is returning to the grittier sounds of 2007's Blackout. "[It's] more in the vein of the album before," he says.

Though Kelly admits he's not completely sure what the "final product is going to be," he does say, "the last album [2008's Circus] was more clean pop. [Its purpose] was to reintroduce Britney to the world as the pop princess."

As the first single also indicates, Spears, who Tweeted from her "Hold It Against Me" video shoot this weekend, has new tunes are definitely club-worthy.

"She's always ready," Kelly says. "Dr. Luke and Max Martin are running the show, and it's all about the beats. It has a heavier bass line and it's much harder, more urgent, more club. She's ready again!"

I know y'all think I'm the crazy Britney stan but I really don't like this song. It's boring and there's no "music" or "melody" to it. Here's hoping for a better 2nd single.

If a post isn't aimed at me, I can't reply to it? I know what you were saying, and it just made you look dumb. It's a GIF, one snippet from something, in this case a choreography based music video. OBVIOUSLY, that was not the whole routine. If you thought it was, and that the other poster wanted to see someone simply leaning on a chair, all I can do is laugh. I'd direct you to the video so you know what you're talking about next time, but like all the other pathetic music snobs here, you won't watch it because it will prove you wrong.

I'm listening to this song alot now and the second single needs to be better.

No, you didn't, you dumb bitch. If you did you wouldn't have posted that ridiculous response. The Gif that was posted wasn't a breakdown nor is it dancing. She was leaning on a fucking chair! The poster corrected their self and posted "moment" instead. So STFU and mind your own business. I never said it was the whole routine, you stupid bitch. Have some sense and next time when you want to come at someone re-read the previous posts. I find it hilarious how fast you are to defend your little Shitney but you end up looking like a complete idiot in the process. Stan fail.

I listened to the song.... I thought... Madonna already did this years ago with Confessions On A Dance Floor...for some reason it reminded me of a Get Together wannabe.
