Such a great bunch remaining; Criminal is so damn good guys. :( Had to go with Hold It Against Me...sadly.

In The Zone is her 3rd best selling studio album here too, thanks to those monster hits that is.

Thyunk gaahd! Gasoline.

Everytime was #1 in the UK 11 years ago today. My god, I remember that day. Also, Official Charts says its sold 355,000 to date which is wrong... Maybe they meant 365,000 (which would be a little under 3,000 more since the last update). https://twitter.com/officialcharts/status/614037834354196482

Less steep a drop than with Work Bitch though, if it stabilises that is. I think Work Bitch went 7-33-66..

Something on the level of Till the World Ends would be awesome.

Lose Control is subpar compared to the remainder.

Wow, top 10 no where :lol: (Scotland is part of the UK so I find it weird they have a separate chart).

Yeah I was fully expecting it to miss the top 20 so it's nice to see it chart higher. Weird (circumstances aside) that it's charted lower than Break The Ice. Like someone said, next time she should actually release it onto Spotify when it first premieres. But then again I think a global release date is in the works for a mid-July debut. Maybe that will help..

No I think the music is the primary problem. Capital were willing to play the track on heavy (somewhat) rotation but I don't think the response to the song was strong enough for them to continue to do so - which is probably why they shifted to playing it during the night a la Not Giving Up by The Saturdays. And of course she has only performed on television here once since she finished the In The Zone campaign.

Mono-platinum though....

Seal It With a Shit is clearly only disliked by me. :lol:

Pretty Girls is definitely Britney's worst lead single. Still nice to see it in the top 10.

Apparently from next month a worldwide Friday release date is being instated. The inclusion of streaming here has led to the general public moving more towards services such as Spotify, which rely heavily on radio play. This therefore leaves eliminates "frontloaded" artists such as Britney and The Saturdays.

Crazy in Love has the current advantage of being on the 50 Shades soundtrack which will give it a good push in the years to come. Nice to see Everytime sell quite a lot in trickle sales since 2013 but I guess it helps it's somewhat regularly performed on television on talent shows. I just wish they gave us sales for all her albums.

We need to stream the shit out of this on Spotify and other services. Does anyone know the streaming limit per user per day for chart qualification?

Wow at What About Us's streams.

Do The Hits still press magazines? I remember seeing Sugababes 1.0 cover it during their career.

Congrats Paul and thanks for organising this James! It was fun haha. Ultra's answers had me in stitches. Also, someone ban Totto for clinching me to 5th place. :cry:

BONQUIQUI SHANIQUA! I legitimately spat my tea..

Trip to Your Heart is amazing.

My hands doesn't wanna hold yours...

I wouldn't say Forever Is Over is B-Side material; it'd be a pretty stellar B-Side though. Its production slightly lets it down but I don't find the vocals grating at all, No One on the hand literally grates on your ears as Vanessa's voice cracks during her ad-libing.

I didn't realise how despised Forever Is Over was. But then again it wasn't warmly welcomed on release.
