Britney Spears officially releases Christmas classic "My Only Wish (This Year)"

[Hooked-On-Knee]

Convenient how this alleged release date is a few days before a big court date. .

I can't at people actually thinking getting an official single cover is important.

RCA is taking advantage of Free Britney and it's showing, that's what's messed up. 

 

Even her record label views her as just an ATM machine, not a human being. 

 

Nobody should make fun of independent artists now, cos they exactly know if something was to happen to them like this,  they could be taken advantage of, cos they don't own the rights to the music. 

 

This is what the late Prince has been trying to say, signing contracts literally gives everything to the record label at your own expense. 

 

Literally you're a slave to them.

Probably a CD single and 12 inch picture disc.

I think they are trying to give it an official "push" much like how Mariah did for her 25-year-old Xmas song last year.

I get what you're saying but an official push requires a music video and we know that's not going to happen. Unless they've made an animated video ala "Break the ice", or they're using actors like "SOS" video by Cher. Honestly, I don't see RCA investing any more money on this song 

 

If not, it'll remain as the promotional single it's always been

How can anyone be torn over this? Oh, yes, let's jump at the chance and support her team making a few coins due to her dire situation. 

No fan should support this, if it is released. And if you do support it you need to have a serious word with yourselves and reevaluate where you stand on the free Britney movement.

Brit should re Record it and re name it as My Only Wish this year (Is 2 Be Free)

Imagine if they release a video with old personal footage of Britney with her kids to pretend shes happy and with them?  i wouldnt doubt at this point, they are that low.

Yea, I don't see this smashing the charts cause there's just too many people turned off by what's happening. Tho, it could have the opposite effect and the GP decides to show some Britney love.

Im not torn in any way. I am not supporting this or ANY release until she is free.

It's worth reminding you that Britney is not working right now as an act to protest the conservatorship / legal situation she's in.

 

That's not confirmed. That's pure speculation.

So I don't get it - the song's been out since 2000 and it's a timeless classic tbh 

 

What are they releasing? An official single cover? lol, wasn't this the official promotional single cover? 

 

Sorry guys, but this rumor does not make sense to me unless they're releasing a brand new Xsong recorded by Britney which I doubt 

that's fanmade

Well, I think it's important to pose the question. And tbh I am personally torn, yes. I know that Britney is refusing to work right now, but to me that doesn't = she wants people to not support her music. Say she hit #1 with this, do we really think she'd be upset or happy/honored? 

I do think she had some input about Mood Ring and the Glory single cover. That happened during all of this as well. I don't think Britney wants fans to stop supporting the music. I think she doesn't want to perform or create new music moving forward until there's a change. All my opinion of course.

I think a lot of fans have this all or nothing mentality. Either you don't listen to a single song until she's "free," or you're supporting the conservatorship. I do think it's possible to protest her legal situation and also support her artistry. My two cents.

Plus RCA knows several Britney fans including our leader @Jordan Miller will fall for anything Britney music related. 

 

I get why people just play their CDs and refuse to stream her music. By playing her CDs, you already paid it, and nobody is getting coin, the way streaming would do exactly that. Go into their pockets. If you have a CD player. You can still play Britney and support free Britney. I have this track thx to Now Christmas 1 & 4

About the "re-release" if any, they might be re-releasing the Platinum Christmas album which is turning 20 this November. If she didn't re-record the song, I don't see what's the point. Without being a proper single, or being included in important lists as Spice said, it's managed to become one of her most streamed songs on Spotify, is on the radio everywhere, so I don't know what difference it would make if there's no music video or live performance.

Ohh whattt? Didn't know this. 

Yeah I did have the titles somewhere. Britney co wrote all the songs, My Only Wish was her favourite 

[lustwecantcontrol]

Here’s the thing any release by RCA should be supported because if her music begins to flop RCA will invest less and less in her releases which will hurt her in the long run when she does finally return to work! Also keep in mind her team would not make very much money of off music releases because artists take home very little from music sales, the label makes most of the money.

what I want to know is what's the buzz, I can't see the ATRL post  

[Towelney]

I’m conflicted
