Britney did say herself that 'He About To Lose Me' is one of her most favorite off of the album... I love that! It's still a classic Britney ballad and most people still know it. I thought I read she tweeted very recently that, contrary to reports, she's not supporting Britney outside of the USA? I read the set list is not in any particular order and that TTWE was performed last... guess we'll see.

Definitely confirmed now! It was posted on BritneySpears.com today. I was reading how a lot of fans seem pissed about London tickets. Some were online when tickets went on general sale and still didn't get the ones they were looking for. Hopefully they're adding the rest of the UK dates.

Apparently some people are reporting that a tour promoter in Crotia is saying Britney is confirmed to stop in that country for a tour date. Isn't that where Nick lives?

Eh, I'm still glad I got to see her on stage. Sure, she may not have been on stage long or did some big dance number but it made the performances that much more enjoyable... at least for me. I could've cared less for those performances if Britney wasn't on stage. Heck, these performances wouldn't even have been talked about afterward if it wasn't for Brit! And on a side note, she looked really hot!

Well, to say the least... she nor her management even said she was going to be there, much less, perform. And she was only announced as a "special guest" for both Rihanna and Nicki. Still was great seeing her show up twice. The second appearance was really short though. UGH, why couldn't she perform at least a verse?! Instead we just got the pre-chorus and chorus and then done.

Just performed TTWE after Nicki Minaj's tracks and then intro rap to the remix. She looked great but I wish they didn't make it totally obvious she was lip-syncing... and she was literally on stage for like 1 minute or less...

Wow, she better be performing this tomorrow night!! Would give a massive boost to the single and the album would most likely follow suit!

Knew this was too good to be true! -_-

Heard the song at work today and heard the remix on the way home from work today!

Looks great! :D Is this the June issue then?

Yeah, when I saw that cover I instantly thought of the IUSA one. This song better find much more success than that one though! It IS much better.

Gah, and now they add the Milwaukee date... lol, oh well. She's the Saturday headliner at Summerfest this year. Outdoor concert in an amphitheater by the way.

I still think we have one more week?

You're missing a 2nd date in Toronto on August 14th too. That was just recently added. I'm going with four of my friends on July 8th in Chicago! Our tickets were about $112 each and we're still in a 300 level section. I'm okay with that though, at least we're going! :D

Not sure if 'Criminal' would have a big appeal to the American audience. I do think it stands a pretty good chance internationally though. 'I Wanna Go' definitely seems like it could be a hit stateside.

I think it's a good idea to get more sales around Christmas time. Otherwise, it seems this album may have a bit of a difficult time selling over platinum status in many countries.

In case anyone hasn't realized how well the single has been doing internationally as of late... PEAKS: #2 Norway #4 Sweden #6 Canada #6 Finland #7 Ireland #7 Belgium (Wallonia) #8 Australia #8 US (Predicted to be #3 this week) #9 France #9 Denmark #10 New Zealand #11 Spain #12 Switzerland #15 Belgium (Flanders) #21 UK #27 Germany #29 Netherlands

I read Jive are still quite undecided about the next single after the unexpected chart success of TTWE... which, sounds kind of weird. Anyways, I think either this or I Wanna Go would be good single choices. Big Fat Bass could be a good strategy as it sounds less similar to HIAM and TTWE than IWG does.

I was thinking this too but I'm guessing he was talking about TTWE on the UK charts. Good chance of it outselling HIAM in the U.S. at this rate. Not sure about other countries though but I wouldn't doubt it in other places.

Not sure if this has been posted yet, but Femme Fatale standard edition has been holding steady at #3 on iTunes Top Albums. It's currently being sold for a reduced $6.99! Hopefully this helps sales a bit for the upcoming week!

U.S. Remix - #8 Original - #15 Canada Original - #7 Remix - #15 UK Original - #25 Remix - #110 Ireland Original - #12 Remix - #115

Pretty sure that's fan made but a pretty great cover nonetheless.

For anyone curious, according to the Mediatraffic website, Femme Fatale has sold around 594,000 worldwide in its first 2 weeks of release.

Yeah, well, being Britney Spears you're always going to be under some type of scrutiny. Same thing happened with Womanizer and look how that sold afterward. :lol:

I know she's starting rehearsals for the tour but I wish she'd do a small promo tour through Europe... I can see it helping TTWE and album sales immensely. It could be just as short as the Circus Europe promo but it'd still be quite effective.
