So where do we think this will chart in the UK once it's released June 14th? Take it mind this will be a Britney's first single on the UK top 40 where streaming will be included. Do you think she will pull off another top 10?

I do hope so as every single from a new album always charts too 10 and hope this too is included, the lowest she's ever entered on a debut single is no7 I think and hope she continues in doing so.

I'm not keen on Pretty Girls, but it would be nice to see Britney win over the UK market again. She seems like such a sweet, genuine person.

Realistically I think with a hot video, good air play and some promotion she could be looking a top 5 hit, however I think without this she could be looking at more of a top 20 sadly.

Capital have playlisted it, video is out tomorrow. So that's a months worth of rotation on the video channels. Remains to be seen what Radio 1 do about the song. With it being her first single to be released which incorporates streaming in the top 40, we'll get to see if she gets strong streams. Few weeks ago when they published the most streamed artists, Britney was no where to be seen. Having said that, she hasn't released any new music last year up until now. It would be sad to see her break her record of every lead single hitting the top 10 if Pretty Girls doesn't.

Capital have playlisted it, and I expect them to play it a lot come it's release. Radio 1 on the other hand will try to avoid it but if it becomes too popular to try and ignore it ie like Scream and Shout they might give in. However I must note that as it does have a lot of similarities with Fancy, that single only got to no5 here, so maybe Britney is looking at the 5-10 range if she does some sort of promotion in Britain, or top 20 if she does **** all?

The pre-order has already dropped out of the iTunes top 100. Whether it gets a boost following the music video is left to be seen.

Spotify could be crucial - add the track to Spotify when the single is released to iTunes and they risk that awkward 7 day delay between songs being available to stream, and songs actually climbing up the Spotify chart.

I predict #14 for Pretty Girls. Probably low top 10 in the sales chart but lack of streaming will push it down. Don't think it'll stick around either and probably out of the top 40 after two weeks.

I predict around #8 in the charts, purely because Iggy is one of the "it" girls at the moment and her song Trouble is doing well on iTunes so I think it'll get an initial good placing but then drop out very quickly.

Definitely one of her weakest lead singles.
