If "Slumber Party" is released, will it affect its airplay that she says "*******"?

I know she says "****" in "Make me", but she is saying "*******" here in the chorus.

We had a similar scenario with "If U Seek Amy" and "Work *****". Clean versions had to be made for both of them, but it still kind of hurted their airplay as some radio stations refused to play the explicit versions and the clean versions were lame. 

Do you think the story would repeat itself or would it be different now?

Btw, this is the clean version of "Slumber Party":

Not really. Cake by the Ocean has '*******' in the chorus but that didn't stop it from being played by radio and being a hit. '*******' can easily be replaced with the word 'crazy'. (Put on that music that makes us go crazy crazy oh ;)

Also slightly off topic, but why was Make Me never labelled as explicit on iTunes when she says '****' in the first verse? And obvs that had to be censored for radio.

Yeah I wondered about your last point too. I ended up with three copies of Make Me and none of them said explicit but they clearly should've been labeled with E.

Lol how did you get three copies? Was this on iTunes? But yeah it's a bit strange. **** is just as bad as saying ******* imo, they're both swear words.

They'll make a radio edit where the *******'s will be removed, I mean ******' Perfect by Pink made it to #2 on the BB Hot 100......the problem with Work ***** and IUSA was stations couldn't decide if they should play the edited or non edited version and the edited version of both sounded stupid. With Slumber Party there will be no debate because they can't play the unedited version.

Booboo how long did you think about this? :mhmsureny:

Some of you all. I swear. :sofedup:

 

I LOVE when she swears in her songs!

I know it's a stupid thing to take into account and I would release it as it is, but Britney needs support from the radio stations and swearing seems to be a problem for them still in 2016, as if kids didn't know those words...

Some radios are already playing SP, they will censor that part for sure but it won't affect the song. Zayn Malik's debut song was censored and it was number 1.

Idk listen to the Walmart version :donewithit:

 

 

edit: I just listened to the clean version on iTunes and it says "*blank* crazy". They'll probably just add crazy crazy. It's better than work work tho :quirkney:. Let's not forget bout Scream & Shout tho. The song was big and they switched "turn this **** up" to "turn, turn it up".

An insider at a pool party told me the radios will autocorrect "*******" to "ducking" just like my iPhone does!

Imagine the slayage of "Put on our music that makes us go ducking crazy, go" on the radio?

I can, when Slumber Ducky slays all radio formats as the second single
