January 12, 201114 yr It's not a bad decision if she actually decides to promote, to be honest. Those are the two biggest markets outside of the US, let radio play build for a while, hit a bit of TV (Dancing On Ice, The Brits, a couple of German tv shows) and she's got a chance at the top. Womanizer suffered because by the time she could promote it in the UK, it had been out for a few weeks. Maybe she's going to give it a proper crack?
January 12, 201114 yr Feb 20th? :mellow: But yeah the big rumour is Brit Awards. Would be the ONLY justifacation. -_-
January 12, 201114 yr Author Were we told there's a reason it's being released on that date specifically?
January 12, 201114 yr They want Britney to get a #1. Not gonna happen if it was out now in UK, Bruno Mars lead is just as big as Britney's is in US.
January 12, 201114 yr I'm sure that's not the reason as Britney is bigger than Bruno Mars. I really don't think Britney being huge would have allowed her to gain that number one position; the UK are very weird :naughty:
January 12, 201114 yr I really don't think Britney being huge would have allowed her to gain that number one position; the UK are very weird :naughty: That's why we love GaGa Perhaps Britney will release her album a week later than the single to achieve a number one album.

January 12, 201114 yr I'm not sure about a Britney #1 in the U.K, Britain are too stuck up to embrace Britney anymore, everone my age is too busy trying to be "individual" with $h!t Indie music to recognise all they really need is Brit. Edited January 12, 201114 yr by J-o-e
January 13, 201114 yr To be honest, I thinkkkkk this has number 1 written all over it, the Brit's would SEAL it for sure?
January 13, 201114 yr Because they don't want to fuck up the album release! (Alongside the USA), the UK and Germany are two of the biggest music markets worldwide. They wont release a lead single for the album until she has properly promoted it (I'm guessing a Brit Awards performance). It's different in the US because the market relies so heavily on radio play (that's the difference between the UK and the US). They just don't want to screw it up. Let's be honest, if Hold It Against Me was released on the UK iTunes, I'd be VERY surprised if it managed to climb straight to #1.
January 17, 201114 yr RT @BRIT_Awards: Cee-Lo Green, Mumford And Sons, Adele and Arcade Fire will join Take That, Rihanna, Plan B and Tinie Tempah to perform at The #BRITs2011 RT So what was the REALLY special reasoning for the original release date?

Shame no Cheryl Cole :cry: BRITNEY WOULD BE EPIC AT THE BRITS! CAMPAIGN?
January 18, 201114 yr Maybe they're keeping any possible Britney perofrmance under wraps for now, until a lot closer to the day. *prays*
January 18, 201114 yr I REALLY doubt a Brit Awards performance; why would they allow anyone other than Take That to lip sync a performance. Britains are too stuck up and judgemental.

For your information the brits allowed Cheryl Cole to lip sync, and the last time i checked the Grammys don't either, so would it make sense if i said Americans are stuck up too?

January 18, 201114 yr Anyways.......... here are the UK iTunes Popularity bars as of 18/01/2011 10.50pm http://img52.imageshack.us/img52/5835/30666774.png
