Are we done blaming lack of promo for Britney's lack of success ?

[MissSpearsSaysSo]

Britney instantly sold out 2,500 vinyls of a 20 year old album without even knowing about it, she's still relevant.

It's not the lack of promo or Britney's 'laziness' as some of you like to blame.

Someone of her caliber and legacy, should just leave all labels, start her own independent label, and have full creative control (i.e. like the Blackout era)... it allowed her to experiment, work with producers she wanted to work with, and create music she's passionate about.

Yet she experimented on Glory with songs like Coupure Electrique and Mood Ring. Created music she's clearly passionate about on Glory. And she's Britney ******* Spears, she can work with whatever producer she wants. Karen Kwak, Julia Michaels and Justin Tranter have all been EXTREMELY vocal about how much control Britney had over everything.

Also, she clearly is lazy because she wanted to make her own label years ago, talked about it in interviews, and the SECOND that Britney Jean came out, fulfilling her Jive/RCA contract, she SIGNED UP AGAIN for four more albums.

Where is this indie label you wanted to make, Britney? You've been talking about it since ITZ, as long as you've been talking about a Vegas residency, and you made THAT happen, to our ******* misfortune. The ***** clearly doesn't want to put in the work that would be required of her if she set up her own label. She just wants to milk Sam's **** every night, mother her children, and go to Hawaii for three months at a time.  

You can keep trying to explain everything away, but the simplest answer is the most obvious. The conservatorship has all but been dissolved, she is living a normal life again. Her label is notorious for not giving a **** about their artists, yes. But still has plenty of big names raking in money. Adele is with Sony, just like Britney. Outselling her ten times over.  Britney is ******* lazy. DEAL. WITH. IT.

The songs just have to be better (unique, trendsetting) and she needs more hype. I mean, there are so many hit songs that don't even get performed. Like Drake...he almost never performs his hit songs besides for at his shows and maybe one promo performance.

It's one of the defining factors to be successful or not. Let's not act like it was still 2011 and her sells for itself cause it just doesn't. Combined with her unexistent willingness to give her 100% + playback issues make people not taking her serious + POM show being her 1st priority + many things. It's the promo only. It a combination of many factors that leads to the current situation. She really needs to focus on her next project as much as she does for her Vegas show, her perfume and even the Intimate Collection in 2014 got more promotion than the BJ album.

Good luck with that. She's doing indie numbers. This is 2017ney we're talking about. We should lower our standards to Jessica Simpson numbers

 

 I know right.

Most singers are doing bad numbers in general cause the digital era changed the game like in a 200%

Even when the streaming increases the numbers, albums sells in general are pretty low for everyone. Of course being BS whose most successful album sold 30 million makes us feel she's doing real bad (which she is) but let's not act like she can't come back to the mainstream spotlight easily.

It really comes down to the kids these days. They don't get it. They don't get her. She doesn't need to be the biggest star in the world to be successful. Sick of people calling her lazy.
