Will this be Britney's first #1 since Everytime in the UK?

 

Thoughts?

 

Totally, there is no competition that week. :)

I'd love it to get #1 but I don't see it happening even if it is a quiet week, probz be between #3-5

I like it. :D If anyone has an MP3 though, a PM would be much appreciated. ^_^

Irritating, looks like we'll have to wait for iTunes release for CDQ.

MTV: Britney Spears Releases New Single '3'

 

Britney Spears released her new single, "3," on Tuesday morning (September 29). The song will be featured on her greatest hits album, The Singles Collection, due out on November 24. She's releasing the collection to celebrate her 10 years in the business since the release of her seminal first single, "... Baby One More Time."

 

The track was produced by hit-maker and longtime Spears collaborator Max Martin, who also produced "... Baby One More Time," and its subject matter — which appears to be about loving multiple people at one time — is sure to cause a stir. Of course, Spears has been causing that kind of stir since she dressed in a sexy school-girl uniform for the "... Baby One More Time" video.

 

The song, which is posted on New York radio station Z-100's Web site, is a catchy dance track with provocative lyrics, such as, "1, 2, 3/ Not only you and me/Got 180 degrees/ And I'm caught in between." The chorus also mentions "Peter, Paul and Mary," which would seem to be an out-of-left-field reference to the '60s folk act. (There's no indication whether this song was recorded before or after member Mary Travers' death on September 17.)

 

In July, during the European trek for her Circus tour, Spears tweeted that she was working with Martin on a song. "Back in the studio with Max!" she wrote about the collaboration.

 

The Singles Collection will be available for purchase as a standard set and a packaged box set. The standard set will include 17 of her biggest hits, plus "3." The ultimate fan box set will contain all 29 of Spears' singles individually packaged in slip sleeves with their original artwork and B-sides or remixes. The box set will also include a DVD with all of Brit's videos from past to present and a photo booklet with various photos spanning her career. Spears released her first greatest-hits collection, My Prerogative, back in 2004.

Depends on when it's released. What's the release date ?

I like it on first (and second) listen.

 

The "1, 2, 3 - Peter, Paul and Mary" is probably one of the best lines ever in pop music history. That's the reason why I clicked with the song in the first place.

The middle 8 is totally meh though.

 

i would have rathered it say "1, 2, 3 - Peter, PaulA and ME"

It'll be tough for her.

 

2nd week sales for Leona will probs be high.

 

Still not loving it as much as other Britney tracks but I'm sure it'll continue to grow.

Peter, Paul and Mary is a bible reference I think.

dont forget songs released physically the following week might get released on downloads the week before.

One word.

 

AMAZING

I actually love it :wub: Way more instant than 'Womanizer' for me as well :o.

 

Can't really understand what she's saying in the chorus though, but yeah love it :wub:.

Peter, Paul and Mary is a bible reference I think.

 

oh yeh, thats clever. but i think "1, 2, 3 - Peter, Paula and Me" flows better and i dunno kinda opens the song up more for the listener, just my thought lol but ses the bible reference is clever but maybe will cause some controversy
