Lovely to see the Not Giving Up video still gaining a decent amount, even if it is their 2nd most recent video.

They should've made use of the costumes they wore at the end of the music video before being teleported up; I'm sure they would've been comfortable too. I thought the performance was nice; Britney seemed to enjoy herself and that's good enough for me. It just didn't feel like an awards show performance which is also fine because if she's not comfortable with performing on that stage then that's her prerogative.

Thanks Nick :wub:

Britney is apparently on Capital FM tonight.

Thanks :D I hope Britney does walk the red carpet; I can't wait to see what she's wearing etc. It's great that she's appearing let alone performing. I really hope she gets the Icon Award too; although doesn't the last performer tend to be the recipient. I know Mariah's there too and also obviously an icon but I'd love to see Britney receive it as there's no telling whether she'll perform there again.

You guys are evil. Also did anyone notice the digital error at 0:47? It's been bugging me since the Circus video debuted? lVhJ_A8XUgc

1am. I'm guessing it'll run until 3am earliest?

Same here man! I reckon it would do decently now though.

I really hope she does get the Icon award; she is more than deserving....christ. Well Britney deserves the world but that's a different story... Apparently she's 16th in line to perform. I was hoping to stream this live but I think it's just a little bit too late for me.

Circus fur win plez.

But he specifically said "Go the extra mile for Britney".

I wonder what they're filming tomorrow then. Possibly an intro which has Britney teleport from her Piece of Me stage to the stage at the Billboard Awards?

I don't think so Rob; there's usually always a listing for new Britney videos; maybe they're waiting for a product placement-less alternative.

How can you not like her....10 million dollar smile?!

I'm liking the song more but it doesn't hold a candle to her other lead singles; we've expected Britney to deliver in that front for her entire career with big success ensuing. The change in market has dampened that prospect and her singles will have to climb traditionally.

I didn't realise this was reality and not a music video. I personally enjoyed; it accomplished what I required of it - a fun, camp video not to be taken too seriously. I must confess, this is not a philosophical masterpiece. Britney is adorable through; the end where she claps is too cute. They both look incredible; I still don't like that curly hair on Britney though lol and the dance scenes during the first half could've been edited better but overall I'm very happy. Now let's hope it climbs back into the top 10; I think it was postponed by 2 days to give leeway for the trash.....I mean Voice songs to fall down the charts as they would've otherwise blocked this at the height of its gain.

Wednesday.........perhaps.

A massive drop but I think it peaking at #46 was good. It'll climb with the video premiering, it's just a case of how high.

I wonder if we'll ever get a vocal like Slave again; the production on her voice is unusual in Pretty Girls. But it sounds fine on Tom's Diner. There's just something non-melodic about it.

Yup but without streaming it probably would've debuted in the top 50. Estimated to sell roughly 100,000 in the US which is pretty decent. Hopefully it sells a little over the 100,000 mark and not under.

Hold It Against Me was the last single to be playlisted by Radio 1; I know Capital played Till the World Ends. It's performing better than Work Bitch on all fronts; digital sales are lower in the US than they were when Work Bitch debuted so it's first week sales will be quite a bit lower. It's already surpassed 4.1 million views on YouTube; Work Bitch ended the tracking week with 5 million views (although I'm not sure about stats from the US since they're the only ones considered for the Hot 100). Hoping it clings to the end of the top 10 by the time the video debuts (in less than 4 days!)

For me the first verse is really poor but the rest is great. I love that random "OH YEAH" Iggy sings before her bridge starts. The bridge and chorus are great! I really like Iggy's verse too, I always look forward to the "..IIGGZZZ.."

IN BRAZIL: Pos Artist and Title 1.3 1 Britney Spears & Iggy Azalea - Pretty Girls 1.0000 2 Ed Sheeran - Thinking Out Loud 0.2489

Well if it's going to entice radio stations here to play the music then it's good to spread the word of it riding so high on the singles chart. Capital played it today around 2pm which is nice. Hope it's added to their playlist.
