Remake Blackout Era

[BLACKOUT<3]

Stay with Gimme More as lead single to ensure the pop culture cementation of "it's Britney, bitch", but pull the VMA performance.

Release Get Back as a jab at critics: if you don't like new Britney on a mission and can't take it, then get back. The GP is slayed by another club banger.

Usually you'd cave and release the ballad here, but Single 3 refuses to be Blackout's "Adore You." She slay the charts with a double A side of Freakshow/Hot as Ice, with Freakshow being the innovative radio-played single with the sexy af music video and Hot as Ice being another declarative statement by Brit as she begins to realign her life.

Final single Piece of Me, performed at VMAs 2008, where she still wins hella awards and she's a certified legend.

GM - #3

GB - #8

FS - #6 (HAI hovers in the lower regions of the Top 40 as a result of the double A-side)

POM - #5

The Blackout era could've steered Brit's image away from trainwreck towards pop badassery if the proper songs were chosen and promo was more targeted. The material was there, her team was not. I place my singles all in Top 10 because while there would be media attention still on Brit, I'd direct the interest more towards her music and what it'd say about her rather than the scrutiny placed on homegurl. I don't think any of them would've hit #1, considering the sound of Blackout is a bit too different from the rest of the Top 10/Top 40 at the time to have made serious headway at the time it was released.

Amen.. However I think gimme more or piece of me would've hit #1

I mean, I put GM where it charted irl because I chose not to change that variable, but the other three, I don't see any of em reaching #1. Who knows, maybe POM would've if it was timed a bit better! I can see where you're coming from
