Because shooting a video and doing promo costs money.

She'd already blown her budget on the original MM video. 

The SP video looked more expensive than both MM videos lol. The budget isn’t the issue here. She’s Britney Spears. The fact they allowed her to scrap a million dollar music video says it all. You think Tinashe or anyone else would have had the choice?

I really hope for their sake, B10 goes off without any issues because I wouldn’t put it past this angry *** stanbase burning down the Axis and the Monte Carlo.

An RCA exec had a listening session of the album in Summer of 2016 and I quote:

“Britney’s really working on a fantastic record. I’ve heard about four or five songs that I think are just going to be big hits for her.”

The label clearly believed in her. And why wouldn’t they? Why would the label want Britney Spears to flop when Justin Timberlake and P!nk are scoring consistent hits? The album was great, trendy, fun, etc.

Britney just drops the ball and it’s extremely frustrating.

This kind of logic, when the fans suggest the label wanted her to fail/didn't care, always baffles me. Why would they invest in her at all if they didn't care and wanted her to flop? I swear.

Everybody has a budget. And they have to stick to it, or things like this happen:

Especially if they're under a conservatorship.

They may have let her scrap the video, but maybe it was to teach her a lesson that she needed to learn the hard way?

I mean did she really learn any lesson? She scrapped the video, kept the BTS posted online, shot a second video, vaguely confirmed this in an obscure radio interview and then proceeded to go frolic in Hawaii while WW 3 and Chernobyl broke out in this forum over the next week. We got the axe for this ****, she got a pass. It got so messy it even spilled out into Instagram with the dancers bickering at us.

But gigantic YouTube/VEVO views allow an artist and their team to recoup that money (in part or in full). Slumber Party was seen 73.1 million times. Multiply that by 1 cent only, and you'll get $731,000.

The original MM video and the official were both full of sponsorships. So there's that, too.

She's probably under a 360 contract, which covers albums, tours and merchandise...Not sure how that might factor in.

Let me bleach my skin and buy a blonde wig, sure. I’ll train under Brian Friedman “Kill Bill” style and I’ll be good to go.

Is it really Britney herself that scrapped it or Larry? Larry said the video "didn't make sense".

Maybe the lesson was no more spending in other areas? No third video, no new costumes or choreography for POM...If she's under a 360 contract it would include albums, ticket sales and merch.

Who knows at this point. I don’t think Britney liked the video (which is fine, she doesn’t have to like everything).

But I mean, would it have killed them to negotiate with LaChapelle if they could do a recut or a reshoot of some scenes? It worked with the Everytime video cutting out the original suicide ending and replacing with the reincarnation / dream one.

Many artist release music videos even when their album/singles flop.

And many can create great visual without a big budget. 

it's a promotion to the artist for the longer term. 

 

The reason Britney didn't have a 3rd single is that  she and her team didn't care. That's all.

Slumber Party was perfect as a second single: very nice song, cool complicity w/ Tinashe, and the music video generated quite some Illuminati controversy (more exposure, even though it may make an artist lose some fans). Man on the Moon? No... But it'd fit a Disney soundtrack or a similar type of record (and someone should have coached her better for her French lines).

I would have released Just Like Me because of the storytelling, and then Liar (as a sort of continuation), followed by Love Me Down (lighter lyrics, but killer bass). Better and Change Your Mind (No Seas Cortés) would have been great singles, but Britney's never released up to seven singles from an album, and priority must be given to standard edition tracks.

This forum is delusional. Slumber Party was an AWFUL second single. Britney Spears should never in her life release two midtempos in a row. NOBODY LISTENS TO BRITNEY FOR SLOW SONGS. I understand fans thinking people “want a different side” but Britney is NOT an artist ANYONE takes seriously!!!!! She doesn’t sing!!!! Her mid tempo performances are AWKWARD TRASH!!!! 

Love Me Down, Do You Wanna Come Over, Clumsy and Better were the ONLY options she had after Make Me underperformed. Even If I’m Dancing or Liar, but Britney never releases Deluxe tracks. Everything else was destined to flop, especially with no promo. 

But beyond the GP, if Britney wanted to release something, she would. Ariana, Beyoncé, Justin, everyone keeps releasing 4,5,6 videos even if the era is “done”. Britney is lazy.

I personally believe it's still her label fault for not caring enough at some extent. even Kesha get's better promo and her label is just money hungry

 

It's easier to promote someone who actually wants to perform and get the new album and music to do good on the charts.

Britney doesn't care she has Vegas and enough hard core fans who buy her music. No need to gather new fans...

Not so perfect, since it killed the era. The song is ok, and yes, the video is awesome, but that could've been the awesome video from any of the other songs if they were released instead of SP. And it didn't cause as much controversy. Even Pretty Girls caused more commotion, for negative reasons, but it became the fastest certified video of hers. SP can't even reach 100M one year later. Plus those chipmunk vocals they added in the end didn't help btw.

Make Me... was the perfect second single. DYWCO had to be the lead single to start the era with a hit . Then Liar would've been the third, then Better and to close the era either MOTM, CYM or IID. The thing is the best tracks were mostly the bonus tracks. They could always make an exception though, NTIFY was almost a single after all.

This is what has always frustrated me. If they believed so much in this album, they would've pushed for a third single, despite Britney not wanting to promote, which in this era wasn't even the case. She did the VMA's, she went to those radio festivals, she went to the UK and also performed there. I mean, those promo performances weren't effective at all, but technically she promoted her two singles so this time around it wasn't like BJ.

After their performance on the charts and sales, it is understandable the label would scrap any future singles, after all the money they invested especially with the original MM video. Well, it WOULD be understandable if the rest of the tracks all sounded just like Make Me... or Slumber Party, and there was no point in keep trying with more of the same. But if they knew there were other songs that were totally different, with the hit potential, I mean this exec talked about 4 or 5 songs, then why give up? Even in the hypothetical case Britney refused to shoot a videoclip, which sounds totally unbelievable to me, they could've released a third single, sent it to the radio, it would've flopped most likely, but at least they would've shown they actually cared and believed in Glory.

Because her team are lazy, and Slumber Party underperformed. We all know DYWCO should have been the 2nd single instead
