Maybe I am looking at a different hot 100 but tht Wiz Khalifa song is currently number one, followed by Uptown Funk (a really, really catchy tune and maybe the song of the summer)

http://www.billboard.com/charts/hot-100

As I said, her die hard fams may disagee, and that is who her twitter followers are, but she is too old for 14 yr olds, hasn't had a breakthrough hit in years, and the fact she is hiding in Vegas where all oldies acts go I think just illustrates my point. That's like saying Billy Joel is a current major artist because he sells out Madison Sq. Garden. Where are her hits, hits being those insscapable songs that defy charts and are heard everywhere? Uptown Funk is one, Hit Me Baby One More Time was another, but what was Britney's hit these last ten years that anyone knows anymore or is heard anyplace? Where will anyone hear this "song" unless they go looking for it?

You can't say that she can't do the oldies circuit then refer to Vegas as the oldies circuit after it's been established that she's a huge hit in Vegas.

She's got tons of money and her main priority is raising her sons right now. There's absolutely nothing sad about that.

And a song doesn't have to be overplayed to death to qualify as a hit. Three of the four singles from Femme Fatale charted highly enough (top 10) when they were released and were successful. I don't understand what more is needed for a track to be called a hit.

Please tell me how Christina has exhibited more staying power, because I'm looking, and I can't see it. She's found a place as a featured artist, but that's a far cry from her heyday.

Article on the people Britney's been working with for B9 (not sure if that's an official title but don't believe so) and it all sounds so wonderful and promising! She may be putting together another good record.

 

LOL at the shade of "she's steering clear of Barbara Jean executive producer will.i.am" That's extremely smart!

Her last hit was in 2013 with Scream & Shout which peaked at #3, not exactly ancient - as it was the same year she released her last album. She could do worse. She hasn't charted recently because she hasn't released a new album since then. 

 

I don't know what you are talking about when you are talking about "ubiquitous hits", but Femme Fatale had three radio hits that all hit the top 3 of the Hot 100 and Top 40/Mainstream. "Hold It Against Me", "Till The World Ends", "I Wanna Go", and "Scream & Shout" were all top 3 hits of hers within the last 3-4 years. Britney is actually a bigger radio star post 2007 than she ever was in her early 2000's heyday. Most of Britney's earlier singles missed the Billboard Top 10 outside of Baby One More Time, Oops!...I Did It Again and Toxic. If you look through Wikipedia she has more #1's after 2008 then she did before it.

It will be interesting to see if she works with Dr. Luke on this album. He has certainly been a safe bet for her, but after the stuff with Kesha I don't know that it will go over well for her to work with him. Especially because Kesha wrote one of Britney's biggest hits in recent years.

      Your use of the word "apparently" would need to include a source. Just your use of the word doesn't make it true or valid. Where would you get the idea that something has happened if you hadn't already received an indication from somewhere else, specifically a valid source (including Tabyana herself)? By using the word "apparently," you are implying this was mentioned somewhere, either in a publication or similar.

      Looking back...Primetime Ratings from the 80's

      By Paul Raven · Posted

      I think Hotel would have the similar demos as Dynasty W 19-49 would have been strong. St Elsewhere survived b/c it attracted wealthier/urban viewers and The Equalizer was probably stronger with men and younger viewers. So each had their own niche-good counter-programming. As for Aaron Spelling's influence over ABC in terms of scheduling, I don't know if he would have been happy with Charlie's Angels moving to Sunday, The Colbys scheduled on Thursdays or Matt Houston moved to Fridays. I think he just had to roll with the punches.

      Edge of Night (EON) (No spoilers please)

      By chrisml · Posted

      Thank you @Broderick. That information was so helpful. I watched the first episode of the "Mansion of the Damned" storyline. I was extremely confused by Margaret Colin's Paige and her relationship to other characters. Your post helps me understand what's happening. The rest of the show was easy to understand and I'm enjoying it. Hunter's Nola is a good character for me since I know Kim Hunter from other work.  I must have seen clips of Edge of Night before because I remember seeing April.

      How is it back tracking when it was in fact the word I originally used? It's not.

      You know what is a great way to stop these unclear "rumors"?  Just stop posting them and then back tracking with words like "apparently".   Anyhow, I didn't find the Tracy/Lois scenes as good as I hoped.

      In Loving Memory: Ruth Buzzi (Letitia Bradford on DAYS, 1983)

      Jason, in thinking this over, I realize that we look at this space, differently. To me it is a potentially collaborative space. Now that I've realized this, what I should have said, "I'm having a problem because what I'm seeing is not matching up with your descriptions. Maybe these files I just got are misdated. Maybe it's something else. I will keep you posted. Meanwhile this episode, its edit, is ready, even though I might have to issue a corrected date later. But, people can enjoy the performances now.

      But how is it "apparent" that she signed a new 3-year contract? Your wording had a voice of authority -- as if you knew it was true. A better way to post about it? Say you read online that she signed a new contract, but have no idea if that's true.

      This interview actually reminds me a bit of Kim Zimmer’s press during the infamous clone storyline on Guiding Light, or Deidre Hall during the possession story on Days. All three were seasoned daytime veterans who made it clear they valued airtime for their characters, not just being part of a romantic pairing. It seems that idea was part of the pitch behind these bigger-than-life plots. They all took big swings in their performances. When I read Kim Zimmer’s memoir, I thought she captured it best — she wanted to be respected for being willing to take those risks. To paraphrase her, she knew it was ridiculous for Reva to think she was pregnant after menopause, but she still threw herself into those scenes and made them real. That’s what really struck me about Victoria Wyndham’s interview too. She responded like a real person. It felt like she was telling Michael Logan that she knew Justine — and a geriatric pregnancy with twins — was totally preposterous, but that she still deserved credit for trying to keep the show alive and entertain the audience. And honestly, I think that's more than fair. Logan is looking for a reductive answer for who is to blame.  And, she's telling him to accept that they were all well-meaning.  Which is not a defense of bad storytelling.  But, I understand that she's frustrated because she interpreted Logan's critique as a lack of commitment, and she wants him to know that she was committed! (maybe not for the best, but committed).
