Spears Takes A Tumble

Filed under: Britney Spears

Britney's "comeback" single, Gimme More, has already started to decline at radio.

The song is getting less spins and people are losing interest.

Plus, Spears doesn't even have a video out yet to help promote her flagging single.

Poor Brit Brit.

Retirement is always an option!

Doesn't Mediabase show that her spins are increasing as it is a daily updated chart. Her audience is growing by atleast a mil a day. So i don't think it is gonna flop. Her bad VMA has just made people more curious to hear the song. I'm the first to say it sucked completely. Embarassing and shameful but the song was made by people who know what they are doing. Nate Hills This guy helped produce the larger part of Justin's album. The song is strong. But the singer needs work! Peace!

Re: Charles – You are so right plus they now introduced video views on sites like yahoo music and aol music. So its harder to get high on the chart without sales. R&B no.1 artists who don't have strong sales still only no.40 if they are lucky! People always try to put people down. I bet she will be no.1 on iTunes sales her first week.

I feel bad for her…she needs help…why doesn't her mon do more.
Also know onw has mentioned that her c- cection marks show in the pictures….that is just so bad.
She did not look fat but she could have worked out a little more and not ate fast wood that week. After having 2 kids in 3 years what does America really think women can do…miracles?

Based on the title of this, I thought it was going to be about her falling down drunk somewhere.
read the facts says – reply to this

112

Perez, whoever is feeding you this information is CLEALY misinformed and are making you look like a fool. I dont like Britney but despite her VMA disaster, her song is doing better and better.

If you want REAL facts go to billboard.com where they have this

"Britney Spears may have drawn criticism for her seemingly lethargic performance on the MTV Video Music Awards, but her new single, "Gimme More," is racing up the charts at top 40 radio.

The cut posted the most increased plays on R&R's CHR/Top 40 chart for a second straight week (up 976 spins) and climbs 25-20 on the tally, marking Spears' first top 20 appearance since "Every Time" in summer 2004.

Spears last graced the survey with "My Prerogative" in the fall of 2004. Her prior best entrance was the No. 24 launch of "Me Against the Music" in Oct. 2003. "Gimme" is Spears' 16th charting title this decade, tying her with fellow former Mouseketeer Christina Aguilera for most by a female in that span.

On Billboard's Pop 100 Airplay chart, "Gimme More" jumps 25-16. The cut is expected to be released digitally later this month or early next; Spears' new, as-yet-untitled Jive album is due Nov. 13."

Meagan says – reply to this

118

We get it, YOU HATE BRITNEY, ok can you please stop shoving it down our throats??? I understand you may hate Britney but reporting false facts is low even for you. Her new single just made a HUGE JUMP on the airplay charts.

And FYI videos dont come out until about a month after the song is out. "Gimme More" has only been out 2 weeks. And you shouldnt be worrying about Britney's weight with you looking the way you do, lay off the meatrolls seriously…

No offense, Perez, but I never see music videos anyhow. it's like JT said at the MYV awards - play more, and show less celeb shows.

Would a video really help her in all reality? Who sees them anymore.

And I agree with previous statements about her mental health. This woman has had too many blows recently. I do think she needs to be on suicide watch. Who could endure this much scrutiny, this much bullshit and still be walking and talking rationally?
Divorce and custody battles are hard enough without your every step being documented. I know she acts crazy, but maybe it is time we give her some space. It seems like everyone is just hoping this girl fails. At first we were all like "I hate Fedex", now everyone bashes her. When did Kevin become so wonderful… and do we even really know either of them, or just what the media wants us to believe is them?
Surprise me, Perez, and give me both the negative and the positive of both sides. Don't just give me a biased opinion or what you deem to be fact. That's not being a reporter, that's just standing on a soap box.

Actually I work at a radio station and we spin the track all the time and people are feeling it. I'm not a fan of her by any means but the song is about to explode. "Gimme More" debuted at #85 which is a good sign, if you remember Justin Timberlake's "SexyBack" debuted at #90, Fergie's "London Bridge" debuted in the 90s as well as Rihanna's "Umbrella". So she's already off to a better start than all of them and when digital downloads come in she'll definately make TOP 5.

DONT LISTEN TO THIS IDIOT. Her single just jumped up to the top 20 on pop airplay
mjp says – reply to this

127

If anybody reads reputable and credible celeb mags like Entertainment Weekly, you'll learn that Perez is full of shit. Not only will Brits new single do well, the tracks off the CD are said to be very good. If Britney would give Perez the time of day he would totally back her. If Britney went on his lame VH1 show, he would say she was amazing.

Going from +1100 to mid+900s at Pop radio is hardly something to worry, Señor Perez. When its down to +100, then try to make her look bad, but don't do it just yet…it's certainly heading for the top 10 at this rate.

I dont really like the girl but why dont you get off her back? She is going through some personal issues now and maybe its time to back off a bit. This picture is obviously photo-shopped which makes this site kind of trashy in my mind.

Anyway… let's get back to the music.

Billboard.com: "Britney Spears may have drawn criticism for her seemingly lethargic performance on the MTV Video Music Awards, but her new single, "Gimme More," is racing up the charts at top 40 radio.

The cut posted the most increased plays on R&R's CHR/Top 40 chart for a second straight week (up 976 spins) and climbs 25-20 on the tally, marking Spears' first top 20 appearance since "Every Time" in summer 2004.

On top of that, "Gimme More" has moved up to #20 on Billboard.com. Congrats Britney!

But thanks for trying to only show bad press perez =)

Perez … did you happen to go to billboard.com and read the story posted the day after the article you referenced? The article, dated the 17th, tells a different story about Britney's new single with the headline, "New Britney Single A Quick Hit At Top 40 Radio". Poor Perez he/she likes to go for blood and create controversy. Wonder what bone he has to pick with Britney?
matt says – reply to this

when will you people realize perez knows nothing about the charts and is just trying to fuel bad press. just don't respond.

Firstly does this Bloger have a killer body? Have millions of $$$$ ?? You think people aren't going to show interest in Brits new single? Your totally wrong! All this "bad" publicity is actually attracting people who haven't even heard of brit to listen to it! and despite if u like her or not, its a very catchy tune! So like it or not this album and single will sell like crazy!

She should seriously retire and take care of her own fucked up life. GET IT TOGETHER! If her kids were so important to her she wouldn't be trying to save her dying career. but trying to save her kids.

I hate britney spears, i'm not going to lie, but i feel bad for her, i mean she's gone nuts lately, but couldn't it be she's sufffereing from the baby blues? i mean she had two kids in the span of a year and a half? I think she should serisously get some help, no one deserves to be pushed to the brink of suicide, and i think if she's pushed anymore it might just happen.

I really didn't like this song the few times I heard it, but they played it at a bar I was at on Sat night and I found myself dancing to it. It's not Grammy winning, but it is catchy enough to play at a club. As good as a lot of the crap out there.

We won't get to see how the ladies did until the fall, but today in Austin, Britney Spears and Demi Lovato took their seats as the new judges on The X Factor. Someone had the foresight of smuggling in a recording device to the Texas auditions and we've got the audio from the ladies' first critique!

And you know what? They sound like old pros!

Check out the video (above) to hear Brit Brit and Darling Demi give their thoughts on the first contestant of season two!
