Glory is my favorite Britney album ever, only slightly behind from In The Zone. I think something happened when she was filming the video for Make Me and then she lost interest. She seemed super proud of this album and she was doing interviews again and then the concept of the video drastically changed, we got those behind-the-scenes videos and we didn't hear more from the album from her mouth.

Should have been 

Lead - Do You Wanna Come Over

2nd Single - Slumber Party ft Rihanna 

3rd Single - Just Luv Me ft Justin Bieber

4th single - Make Me (solo)

5th single - No Seas Cortes ft Ricky Martin

Do You Wanna Come Over was RIGHT THERE. I actually didn’t mind Make Me being the lead single but DYWCO should have been the second single imo.

Honestly Glory should have had 5-6 singles yet RCA only released 2.

[Britneystanley]

If they got the promotion right I think it could have been number one and had a few billboard hits.

Make me should not have been single 

slumber party shouldn’t have had Tinashe. I like her but the collab didn’t match and it lessened the value of the song I think. Non fans would have seen the collab and thought - not interested - I think anyway! It needed another name for it to appeal as a duet! Even if they went for Janet - people would wanna hear it at the very least. 

The right songs weren’t pushed - so much more to offer than what they did 

 

the vma performance was an opportunity for the comeback of all time but instead was an average performance that was too safe. Albeit her best tv performance in years after BBMA but if it had one ounce of controversy it would have been a different story 
 

Vegas was still happening and so Glory didn’t have a home or tour instead songs were shoehorned into an existing show 

The mess of the MM video. 

the private show advert coming out a month before the album - if you hear that song and assume the album is the same you’re not going to listen as private show is an awful song 

 

her carpool karaoke 

 

multiple things that led to it being less successful than it’s potential

Make Me had a complicated release. Supposed to launch at the BBMA and a scraped delayed MV that was a lot better. It entered the top 20 2x. I personally love the song. 
Tinashe is a success killer. She must have just been a cross promotion for RCA. 
I would have loved the world to hear “Just Love Me”.

Sadly i agree. It's mostly forgettable and it's still to this day my least played Britney album, even Britney Jean had catchier songs like Work B 

It's not a bad or horrible album but it's not strong, it lacks a big hit song or a good club track

It was kinda too serious and lacked fun, experimental moments , it took itself too seriously 

It's mostly mellow, slow and chill songs that don't really suit Britney imo

I like Britney on clubby electropop or more urban pop stuff

 

Let's not forget Britney Jean isn't REALLY a Britney Album though.
None of the tracks are quintessentially Britney.
Now that I Found you sounds like a copy past of Wake Me Up by Avicii.

You might say Glory had no theme and is forgettable, but you forget she's actually on most it, unlike BJ.

[MissSpearsSaysSo]

Justice for Do You Wanna Come Over?..  

[stanLOONA]

Yes! It was a bad rollout PLUS the label should have calculated a better week to release and at the very least secure a #1 album. It didn't help that they also released a ton of promo singles before the album.

If Make Me... kept the original MV (or the aura of it, and not the cheap knock off we got) it would have send a better signal for the era.

Slumber Party was nice and the MV was BUDGET.

I needed Do You Wanna Come Over MV as its full pop presence too

The correct answer is MOOD RING. At the moment Rihanna is having success with Needed Me, which is by the same producer. The songs are very similar, it would have been a hit with "live" performances; it's personal and at the same time anyone can feel reflected. It's a great song and it feels Britney.

Agree mood ring is similar to halseys hit that yr if she beat her to it mood ring could’ve been big 

[SJK]

It was a mess of an era from the start

I honestly never listen to this album but it’s miles better than BJ 

 

[ObsessedBritFan1]

Totally!

I thought No Seas Cortes or Make Me video would look like this

1st: Do You Wanna Come Over (Without the annoying WATEVA U WANNNT)
2nd: Liar
3rd: Change Your Mind
4th: Just Luv Me
5th: Love Me Down

Yep agree the whatever you want sounds harsh on the ears

Make me was fine and one of my fav first singles by her. She wanted to make a revival homage but

stand by my opinion I do not care much for half of glory too much of leftovers from Selena /bieber.

Exactly. There wasn't any song where I was jumping up and down like omg I gotta hear it again. Some songs I listened to more than others, but wasn't super into any of them.

Same I made myself learn the lyrics bc I'm such a. Stan yet I was disappointed

Too many feats in my opinion.
And Rihanna? Justin Bieber? Ricky Martin?

 
 I do agree Make Me should have been solo. 
His cameo in the MV is so unhinged cause he's essentially ****ing her.

[Emil87]

1st Single: Do You Wanna Come Over

2nd Single: Better

3rd Single: Liar

4th Single: Just Luv Me

Not all my favs from the album, but these would have resonated best with the GP.

Rihanna, Bieber & Ricky are all very different & would have all elevated the songs with their own core audience. It would have helped the songs & bring promotion to Glory. Britney would have easily gotten at least two more #1’s.

[Oprah Winfrey.]

Better should’ve been the lead single it was a summer album needed a summer feely song to lead it not snooze fest make me

[BrittonJeanSpears]

Glory's in my trinity alongside In The Zone and Britney. And I can say without hesitation that if they had chosen different singles and scheduled a few more high profile performances, this era would've been a success.

I agree they are all different.
But by no means should they have featured, they'd have felt inauthentic and forced.
Tinashe was a great feature and still got a lot of hate for it. 
G-Eazy was unnecessary. 
They'd have done fine on their own, you don't need ad big names and pander to others fanbases for 1#s. 
Especially as that's not Britney's goal as an artist and performer.
