exhale If Knee released Breathe on Me as a single, how do you think it would have done on the charts?

[IUSAtonight]

It would peak at #76 but the video would be iconic by now and it would be considered one of her most underrated singles

Brave new girl alone is much better than BOM

Is it still April Fools in your part of the world? 

 

BOM is a genuine highlight amongst Britney’s entire discography and seems to be timeless. 

BNG can’t even be compared 

[Good4Ya]

Such an epic song, but so ahead of its time... I don’t know about the charts, but it would have remained even more timeless and iconic had it been released as a single. But to me BOM is not single material becuase it’s very experimental for its time, ITZ is definitely her most experimental album and her best without a doubt. Her drive, input, commitment and sound are otherwordly. BNG is a stain for sure, but every Britney album has its own lil stain, except for BJ, which is basically the point where her fanbase stopped taking her seriously...

that song was supposed to be inspired by Madonna's ray of ligth.
But we get that silly and childish song with a super processed voice.

Welcome to chipmuney back on 2003

I honestly believe that if it was a new song it could be released today and chart very well. Better, in fact, than most of her singles of the past decade. Dead serious. 

 

Edit: Seems many agree. 

...I couldn’t agree less. 

Are we forgetting Make Me? To me Make Me is a great combo of Slave/BOM. Yet it didn’t have much of a lasting impact on the charts. It’s sad Glory wasn’t bigger than it was.

i think the song would have done as well as DLMBTLTK

This fan base surprises me more and more everysingle day

Stupidity 

I’d rather listen to BIG FAT BASS then that flop of a song are u serious 

[Cwazy]

Oooohhhh it's so hot and I need some air

and boy don't stop cause I'm halfway thereeee

 

[Cappycorn87]

I don't know how it would've done in the US but it would be a big hit internationally. 

[TakeYourHand]

Top ten easily. Toxic didn’t fit the urban vibe and it did well. She was in her own league. 

[ILikeChillinWithYou]

Many of her early songs deserve the radar-treatment tbh. 

Answering the OP, if Britney stayed in Vegas with Domination and performed it there itself, it would peak similar to Slumber Party. But if our girl moved her *** onto big stages and do proper promotion, it could crack the top 10 maybe. The song still remains fresh, and so does Slumber Party. 

PS my favourite performance from POM was Breathe On Me.

Spoiler

It is never too late for DYWCO as a single, timeless song tbh

 

[Sealed_With_A_Chris]

BOM is a bop, by today's standards not as much so then. 

 

Also, I have when anyone calls her Knee. You are making fun of an injury she had. That would be like calling a girl named Leslie that lost a leg Legsie, it is really in bad taste tbh.

I think these days it might do well but I dont think in 2004 it would have done too well. It would have been "too ******" or something. Might be wrong. Some songs that I hate get HUGE and some songs that I think are amazing get ignored compelty.

I still love BOM still sounds fresh and was the only performance in POM that was decent.

I think it would kinda be like Toxic, like the video would be phenomenal and the song would become iconic, but on the charts in the ITZ era people would say ITS too much

Dark Nite and Greatest gave my answers. 

Wasnt BOM supposed to be the 4th single at some point? I’m sure Britney wanted it to be. 

Yes it was. She wanted a double release with TOMH but the label made her release Outrageous (which she hated).

If they’d released it instead we probably wouldn’t have the former shell of Britney that we have today and a completely different artist instead due to the injury, cancelled tour, Kevin etc

MATM and Everytime did good in Europe, were #1 in the UK and only peaked #35 and #15 in the US 

Like some people have pointed out, i think itd have worked in Europe, not in the US but deserved to be a single anyway, the same goes to The Hook Up.
