    I can't believe Radio 1 are playing 'Bitch Better Have My Money' and not 'Pretty Girls'!

    That doesn't make sense :o Pretty Girls isn't Britney's best single but it's a helluva lot better than Bitch Better Have My Money. I can't stand that song!

    I'm a massive fan but I kinda agree. I thought her voice sounded very high-pitched and a bit nasal in PG compared to in some of her other songs.

    She really doesn't sound good on this track at all.

    To me it doesn't even sound like her. It could be anyone.

    The song itself has grown on me a lot since the music video came out though.

    I can

    Rihanna has a massive UK fanbase. It's one of her strongest markets

    Britney's success in the UK has never been as good as it was in her early career. It's one one of the most inconsistent markets she is successful in. From her debut to In the zone, she could do no wrong. She's been all over the place with her sales and chart positions since Blackout.

    The Time has come. Its currently #166 on iTunes.

    Britney did an interview with Good Morning Britain.

    Before Iggy, there was...Nicole Ritchie?

    "We got the song from...Iggy's producers". No shout out to Little Mix who have been freely acknowledging the song lately.

    "Iggy Azalea is also on the new single" :p

    I always wonder who is buying music at 3 AM.

    Probably people coming back from nights out. It's not all that uncommon for 18-30 year olds to still be out at 3am, especially when they're only getting ready to leave the house at 10pm. :p

    I especially love the natural sounding tone to her voice. Like all her other songs, there's been very little post-production put on the vocals.

    Now it's top 20, so happy with that, though I'm not expecting it to finish that high come next week, hope it does, shame she's gonna break her debuts of entering in the top 10

    I'm loving that it's climbing quite fast, didn't think it would crack the iTunes chart

    I think considering it's been out in pretty much every country but the uk for over 4 weeks and with illegal downloading it's doing much better than I thought it would do

    Remember iTunes changed its rules so that the preorders dont count on the daily ranking although obviously the sales are counted in the weekly official chart. So this is showing how its selling for this day so its good.

    It's climbing at a perfectly acceptable rate.

    Well shows how much the UK chart has slowed down.

    I was expecting Five More Hours and Pretty Girls to benefit from the low sales atm and already be in the iTunes top 10. When Jason Derulo hit #1 four weeks ago, I never though I'd see Want To Want Me looking set for a fourth week at #1.

    When Music Week post the first midweek report on Tuesday, there's no doubt Chris Brown & Britney Spears will both be top 5 with the pre-order sales included.

    However, if both songs stall low top 10 on iTunes and start freefalling later in the week, both songs will struggle to keep their top 10 places. Deorro has the advantage because it's been on Spotify for a few weeks so has built up momentum on the streaming chart - the one thing that is going to hinder Britney's chart performance.
