I wouldn't change the first 3 singles and their order. I wish she could have extended that era further though. :(

Radio was too urban back then for a pop song to do really well. Outrageous might've performed better in the singles chart thanks to airplay, but I think it wouldnt make the album sell nearly as much because at the end of the day, people prefer Britney doing pop. I'm so glad that awful era for the Hot 100 is over tbh

If Jive got their wish 'Outrageous' and '(I Got That) Boom Boom' would have been the first two singles.

I Got That Boom Boom would've done much better than Outrageous as a lead single. Clearly the record label wanted Outrageous to be released which is why it became the 4th single, but if they wanted an urban single I feel Boom Boom or The Hook Up were much better songs

I remember they were planning to release Breathe on Me as the 5th single. I wish they had. :(

I think 'Boom Boom' would have been a great fourth single, with 'Breathe On Me' being a fantastic closing single.

My ITZ era:

 

- MATM

- Toxic

- Everytime

- The Hook Up (or Boom Boom) for an urban leaning single

- Breathe On Me (the standout song on ITZ for many fans)

 

Damn that knee injury :(

For me it's a pretty rubbish song, but that is the case with a lot of these big name collaborations I find. The video is great though.

 

I always reference this parody whenever the topic is brought up, which for me makes the whole thing worthwhile and is probably my favourite parody ever:

 

I love that parody.

 

I always wonder if BOM would have done well commercially, especially in 2004.

MATM IS FLAWLESS. PERIOD.

great 1st single and ITZ album opener.

Can't see any other ITZ track as the first single, and that is STILL for me, the best Britney album to date.

I'm not sure, it would've been edgy for 2004 standards with that dance beat. But then I feel it would be a great final single and a good representative of the album's variety. Heck songs like "Early Mornin'", "The Hook Up" or "Showdown" wouldn't have fit it in any of her other albums, ITZ is just very eclectic.
