Britney has only had 4 #1s in her 12 year career. That's disastrous, especially during her peak. Look at Rihanna, Katy Perry, etc. They already broke that record in a mere 4.

Britney's fan base are the ones buying up all her stuff, not the masses. This is the reason her new single is tanking. The masses ain't buying, and her fans already bought it.

Miss Spears is beyond over, and I don't think she even cares anymore. They should just turn her into a CGI puppet. 30 years old, 2 kids, and she still has to have a parent look after her. Pathetic.
No it's not actually, believe it or not Gaga fans are also making digs at Britney on a constant basis.

Hardly disastrous. Digital sales are much more revelant these days, if a song can get #1 on iTunes, it can get #1 on the Hot 100. Katy and Rihanna are both big digital sellers where as they don't sell that many albums. The radio and internet are much more relied on to make a hit single these days and both of them would not have achieved 4 #1's without these.

How is it tanking though? It debuted at #1 in it's first week with the highest digital sales ever for a female artist and was the most played song ever on radio in a single day. It's declining a bit now because she's just relying on the radio and word of mouth to sell the song, when the video is released it'll start climbing again.

She's not over, you just have to look at her album sales for her past 2 LPs to figure that out and no doubt Femme Fatale will be a big seller and another #1 for her too. She has a parent to look after her because of her infamous breakdown a few years back, she's completely turned her life around since then and the conservatorship will be removed soon anyway.
