LoveMeDown

will.i.am teased the collab on The Voice Kids last night! @1678393668997136384

Exciting! Do you know by any chance if it's the same song that has been registered, called Mind Your Business? It's produced by Will and Johnny Goldstein, apparently.

They'll get that Gold certification any week now. I guess Work Bitch and Lucky are around 370-380K. And My Only Wish is definitely coming for Gold in December. By the end of the year, Hold Me Closer should enter her Top 10.

Hold Me Closer is now Gold (400K)!

It's kinda shocking considering the Amazon rankings were pretty good when they first went on sale. For comparison purposes, My Prerogative is #23 on the German midweeks today, and it's usually a weaker market for her...

The article comes from The Sun, so take it with a grain of salt!

There's been 0 promo. While other artists spam pre-order links on their Instagram stories every day for months, Britney hasn't even acknowledged these releases exist. But yes. The Urban Outfitters pressings have been around for four years, and we got about four different ones for each album, plus picture discs for Baby and Oops.

I'm a bit late here, but excluding Britney and leaving P!nk is certainly a choice, as just last year one debuted at #3 without lifting a finger and the other took months and a full album campaign to even reach the Top 40.

Sometimes is now Platinum!

They've been performing pretty well on Amazon since going up for pre-order nearly two months ago, so it's possible. I guess it depends on how well they're selling on physical stores too! Fingers crossed.

...Baby is obviously legendary, but Toxic surpassed it a long time ago! - I also got the first three albums today and they look beautiful. Kinda wanna get a record player now.

It's just a bug. The Oops one is back to normal, by the way.

Wait, do people actually dislike this? It's genuinely one of the most clever, tongue-in-cheek pop songs ever. No wonder it's her most successful third single in the streaming era.

That's true, but there are a few things to take into account. The song performs much better on Amazon Music (which seems to be the second biggest streaming service in the UK). According to Songstats, it returned to the Top 100 for nearly three consecutive weeks after Christmas, going as high as #34 on NYE, whereas on Spotify it collapsed after being removed from Hot Hits UK in early December. Performance on Apple Music seems to be better as well. The song sold around 244K during its 13-week chart run (with the last 3 weeks being under ACR, so I doubled them). If I recall correctly, it made the midweeks a few times after leaving the chart but just never managed to stick around. ACR + Christmas + the sudden Hot Hits removal killed it. But I'm sure it still pulled decent numbers for a while. Also, it still does 700K+ on Spotify during the weekend with the remixes included. The Joel Corry one is still doing cute numbers. Gold won't happen until April or May but still, shouldn't be that far.

Speaking of Sometimes, it's going to reach Platinum within a few weeks surely? It's so close! Same with Hold Me Closer going Gold, hopefully soon.

Certified Gold in France for 15M streams (100K units) @1630196634234568706

Agreed! I wish it got as much recognition as Blackout from casual fans. But at least it has her biggest song on it!

#22 for In the Zone isn't that low, she's just got too many albums. It could really use the boost though as it's not that far off from 2x Platinum. Hopefully we get some re-entries!

How so though? A good % of that comes from downloads too, not just streams. For example, the Circus songs sold around 9M pure, so that's almost 900K units. The rest comes from pure sales (nearly 1.8M) and streaming. I think it's a good representation of how big those eras were.

#97 on the midweeks

Great news! #34 on Amazon Music today, by the way. Wonder how close it is to 300K.
