I don't think it was actually released to radio anywhere, was it? Her label released it as a physical single, so it was an actual single. But it appears everywhere it charted it did so after the first week the digital EP came out.

I was still a kid then and I feel like radio really doesn't tell the full story of Britney's peak, as what is always mentioned. My generation found her music through MTV and it was blasted in malls, media, etc. Pregnant Britney was such a huge moment to all of us who grew up with her.

Of course. This, Everytime, Early Morning, Out From Under, Touch Of My Hand, Criminal.

Gorgeous ballads / mids. Not fluff like Don't Let Me Be The Last To Chart..

People remember Everytime, but Someday feels very overlooked.

Criminal tho.

Right...... I'm 27, I was around for Britney's peak. I literally don't think the song was serviced by her label to radio.

The greatest interlude in pop music tour history. The goosebumps were literally exploding off of my skin during this bit of the concert.

The whole clip felt like my entire life flashing before my eyes. It's truly epic, the kind of thing you'd find on YouTube and fantasise about being used officially, except it actually was.

The visuals are just spot on, and as for the soundtrack... mixing Break The Ice with Gimme More and Slave - I mean that's the stuff that dreams are made of!

Here's the original video again, for everyone's (further) delectation.



Watching this just reminds why she is the reason the word "legendary" exists.

Make Me, for me, is nothing more than okay. I don't think I would listen to it as much if it weren't Britney either. I think my favorites from the album overall would be 'Man on the Moon', 'Change Your Mind', and 'Love Me Down'.

I agree with this, I like it and it was the choice for a single but it's also the most snoozeble song on the album for me.

Yes, what I'm saying is I probably didn't hear the song through radio.

I'm always amazed at how "unpopular" Britney's music was on the radio during the Teen Pop Renaissance yet how ubiquitous and commonplace it seemed to every millennial child at that time. MTV was far more influential in introducing and promoting an artist and copies of CDs were subsequently passed around during recess. Britney undoubtedly had great hits but a good chunk of her music seemed to have been consumed everywhere besides the radio.

The only other song from that album that I think could've worked as a single was It Should Be Easy which... no thanks. Didn't they commission official remixes for it?

I assume that they were also considering Now That I Found You, since it was uploaded to YouTube the same day as It Should Be Easy. How Britney Jean almost got a third single but Glory didn't is questionable.
