Let's be real, Make Me & Slumber Party were flops. What songs from Glory would have been better singles?

[JP9101]

I Hate the delusion here 

slumber party was and always be the most interesting and catchy track from glory 

also, hard to forget ya is a sleepy bop 

[Isla]

Make Me was the right lead single choice, but Do You Wanna Come Over should have been second single, it could have been a hit

Slumber Party and Make Me are her worst songs, drag me all you want but Glory was a terrible album. I'd only save Hard to Forget Ya and Liar.

Who hurt you ?!

No ono seemed interested though, first, it was released as a promo single and second it had a promo tv performance, and no one cared. Of course they were not going to choose it as the second single, but I think that was the original idea… thanks god fans chose slumber party

I'm not really sure that's the case. It was a promo/instant grat track to generate interest in the album. It really stood out to me from the first listen and many critics singled it out as one of the highlights of Glory. It's catchy and sounded radio friendly. It literally had all the ingredients of being a hit.

For hits:

looking at 2016 billboard year end  list she needed:

A song like can’t stop the feeling for first single, a max martin bop.

then a song like one dance.

then a song like this is what you came for.

then I think mood ring to end it off.

I feel like mood ring is the only song on the album that could have actually made an impact on the charts. 

and of course it would all have had to be marketed correctly. 

I like the album but I agree with one of the previous posters that it was a good album for the fans but not the charts.

Easy one… CYM as the lead and Do You Wanna Come Over? as the second single. LaChapelle for the first video and Joseph Kahn for the 2nd. 

Slumber Party can be the 3rd single without Tinashe.

Better and Mood Ring would work too.

I have no idea why they went the r&b route for the singles? No one is looking for Britney to set the mood. She should be bringing the party. Her chaotic nature is perfect for that. She’s not subtle

make dance music. Shake your *** for some money.

She got her husband out of the deal so I guess it was a success in the end. Even though the singles extended her legacy as a major artist in debt with low chart positions. I love that Madonna has so many hits. She is definitely a hot 100 legend like some of the Otha gals.

Yeah, Make Me was a nice change since this was the first time she didn't choose catchy dance pop number as a lead single, and the song itself really showed how different the album is from her previous works.

I have always loved Better and can picture Britney doing a cute video in Hawaii for it.

I also LOVE Mood Ring and that would have been a really interesting single and should have been included on the initial album release.

I'm okay with the singles that were released. The issue was that she scrapped the original Make Me video which killed the momentum of the album release. If she used the original video, then after Make Me and Slumber Party she could have had another single or two. 

Also, Private Show doesn't sound great imo and Invitation should have been used instead for the buzz single and perfume.

I think Matches and Swimming with the Stars should have been held and released at a future date, after she was free maybe? It just didn't feel right how they were dropped when Britney was not doing any kind of promo and was in the thick of her public battle for freedom. Or maybe they could have been on the album at the time of release.

I disagree about he music video killing the song cus I hardly watch music videos anymore for most new music. If a song is a hit it’s hit cus it sounds good not because of the video

[Oprah Winfrey.]

Better- lead single

dywco- more should’ve happened with this song so maybe second single 

just love me

man on the moon

liar

Team con didn’t want glory to be successful, they chose the singles

The gag is slumber party was the fan voted single..lol I voted for love me down 

[Richie]

lead: mood ring

2nd before album release: DYWCO

3rd after album release: Change Your Mind with a latin feature

4rd and final: fan voted Slumber Party 

I love Make Me but I always felt like it's missing a good chorus. Mood Ring was loved by everyone the second it was leaked. It is more britney than Make Me but at the same time different from her previous leads exactly what they were looking for. they missed a chance there 

[GlitterSlayDExhaleHI]

Inside out as a bonus track release as a single. Even tho it was multiple albums ago lmao.
