How many single choices did they get right ?

[Britneystanley]

I was thinking about how I don’t believe the right singles were chosen during the conservatorship and wondered what everyone else’s score would be. So out of the 12 singles released from studio albums in the conservatorship how many do you think deserved to be singles ? Post your scores below 
 

womanizer , circus , IUSA, Radar, HIAM, TTWE, IWG, criminal , Work, Perfume, Make Me , Slumber Party 
 

Mine is 

6/12 which is actually higher than I thought it would be.

Nice thread. This is actually a tough one. Personally I think the Circus album had some of the best singles, aside from Radar. So I’ll go with Womanizer, Circus, and If U Seek Amy. Till the World Ends and Hold it Against Me were excellent choices as well, despite not being my favs they were made for radio. Slumber Party was a good choice too, but not as second single. So I guess I got 6/12 as well!

The problem with Britney is that all her albums are full of SLEEPER HITS. We have been blessed for years. 

[BlackoutITZ]

I actually think most of her singles throughout her career were good choices, it's just that she has a lot of album tracks that also deserved to be singles.

womanizer , circus , IUSA, Radar, HIAM, TTWE, IWG, criminal , Work, Perfume, Make Me , Slumber Party
 

Circus: 3/4 (I like radar but it was such an after thought) 

Femme Fatale: 4/4 (flawless choices. The album could’ve given even more singles)

BJ: 2/2 (controversial take, but given the material this was the best choices for singles. WB became iconic and Perfume, although it underperformed it showcased vocal talents that had been missing from an official single for the GP to hear)

Glory: 1/2 (Slumber Party was a good choice for a single but maybe as a third single. Do You Wanna Come Over should’ve been the lead single. It gave classic pop Britney but more mature. And although I like Make Me, it just shouldn’t have been a single. )

total: 10/12

"Kill The Lights" would have outperformed "If U Seek Amy". "Out From Under" would have been a good single #4. 

"Seal It With A Kiss" should have been single 4 from FF with "Criminal" as 5. 

BJ should have been scrapped and "Work B" shoulda been a Vegas EP.

Album in 2014 would have been nice.  Could have contained remixed from Vegas EP.

Glory should have had "Invitation" as single 1, "Do U Wanna Come Over" as single 2, "Better" as single 3 and "Moodring" as single 4.

Actually such a good point about Perfume

Nothing worse than ending the Oops era with DLMBTLTK when DGKOMD, CMYLM and WUSIWUG exist. AND if they had to end with a slower song then why not end with Where Are You Now?

,,WYAN" sounds like a Kidz Pop song. Love the vocals but there's hardly any depth to it. They should have ended the era with ,,When Your Eyes Say It.'' ,,CMYLM'' and ,,WUS" sounded very sonically similar to ,,Oops" and ,,Stronger" so I can understand why they didn't choose those as singles.

difficult to let fans decide if it was many of them who voted for criminal...

[Oprah Winfrey.]

Fans also voted for slumber party 

[Oprah Winfrey.]

I like most her singles chosen by the Conservatorship they delivered good second singles. 
 

I think make me was a bad single choice all around, slumber party was single worthy.

disclaimer- most of glory is single worthy, such a missed opportunity

I wasn’t crazy about Criminal as a single. There were better songs from Femme Fatale. That’s probably the only one I would change. I would change the radar video too. But I love the song…
