Let’s be real, Hold Me Closer kinda went nowhere due to the horrible music video

I understand what you mean. On paper it sounds like a smash hit with its peak and 20 weeks on the Hot 100. But in reality for such a big hit as it's claimed by some, it's shocking that it's struggling to even hit 200 million streams. It just seemed like as time went along it was such a non-event.

 

As a person who can see her Spotify stats, pfffffffffff

 

 

Her Joel Corry remix is hitting 10 million streams and other remixes are over 1 million. Also, Toxic Las Vegas got released and My Only Wish had a strong run.

So many people like the Joel Corry mix but I feel like I'm the only one who really likes the Purple Disco one and not like any of the others. Purple Disco elevates it.

They don't know what they're talking about. This user acts like they're so elite where 200 million streams in 6 months on ONE platform is bread crumbs. Like Britney probably earned more from being featured on a song than they do over several years

Dec 1st 2022- almost 1 million from royalties on new releases (Toxic Pony, HMC and current remixes)

 

ALMOST 1 MILLION FROM SPOTIFY ONLY

 

Not including 3 versions of the CD, Apple, Tidal...

 

Some fans are dumb as ****. I'm so sorry but how do you put it differently than that.

The music video is absolutely gorgeous, inspiring, breathtaking.

I'm honestly getting tired of this immature fanbase. Your expectations are so juvenile, you're not growing alongside Britney.

[fays1]

No its because the song is not that good, and it was a cover, but it still did real good

[Kaitlyn Johnson]

I’m pretty sure it’s done better than most of her songs in the last 12 years. What are on going on about? 

[ivosoares]

Why does it matter if the song is a hit or not... I was more than happy to hear a new song from her, and we got what we wanted. And it is a hit, it could be a smash hit if she did performances, did a music video herself and did promotion, but clearly she doesn't wanna do that, stop asking that from her all the time.

Not acting elite at all. And your attitude over my comment is ridiculous. But you do you.

People live under a rock. I’ve seen an exhaler claiming Super Freaky Girl is not a hit when the song spent 3 months on top 10 and 3 month top 40. 
 

Another Beatstar hit 

[KrisJ]

Lol!! It was a worldwide hit and gave Britney her first #1 in many countries in a decade. Other artists would kill to have the same success - not everyone has that

Of course it would have been way more bigger with a proper video with both Britney and Elton in it but it's still a success for both of them regardless.

Because it was a form of support for Britney. Otherwise it would flopped immediately hard.

The song is actually great and people enjoyed the song beyond just playing it to support her. The song is great.

missed opportunity 

I agree. Even just a video of Britney and Elton by the piano singing and laughing in an entirely white studio or like a beautiful house on the beach would have destroyed the internet. Would have been the easiest and cheapest thing to film in like half a day somewhere around LA.

[HearMeOnYourRadio]

So because it didn’t have a cartoon? lol

I love the Purple Disco remix! Honestly, the song has been successful as a whole, in my opinion. I still wish she was more of a lead vocal. BUT, it's still iconic to me. Biased.

[Lex993]

If it wasn’t for the recurrent rule the song would STILL be on the hot 100 and it’s still on other charts in 2023…like I don’t get this lol.

DON'T! People here want to believe it's a smash hit that somehow has been taking over the world by storm 🤣

let them have it, bless them

It’s so funny though… Just because it debuted in the Top 10, doesn’t mean it actually was a hit… it literally started free falling after the first week and I haven’t heard much about it since September 2022
