OK, it appears that Little Mix is behind Britney Spears’s hotly anticipated comeback single, according to The Sun. Way to go, Little Mix. I hope this song gets to be her new US number 1. Let's continue.
Members Jade Thirwall, Leigh-Anne Pinnock, Perrie Edwards and Jesy Nelson originally shot to fame as winners’ of the 2011 series of The X Factor.
The track – entitled Pretty Girls – was originally written for their upcoming third studio album, but didn’t make the cut.
Happy days for 33-year-old Toxic singer Britney, who will instead release it as a collaboration with Australian rapper Iggy Azalea.
‘This is a huge coup for Little Mix. The song is really brilliant but the lyrics just didn’t end up fitting well with their own record. But Britney loved it and wanted to pick it up for her own album as soon as she heard it,’ a source reportedly told the publication.
Adding: ‘It’s amazing for them that Britney has decided to release it as her comeback single – and perfect timing given they’re about to release their third album.This will really help their profile in America. It’s a real sign that the girls have a big future as songwriters as well as pop stars.’
I'm so exciting that there’s been a lot of talk about Britney Spears‘s upcoming collaboration with Iggy Azalea for months, but now we finally have some solid information on the highly-anticipated single.
It’s titled Pretty Girls and it was produced by The Invisible Men, who were behind Iggy’s breakout hit Fancy.
Funnily enough, British girl band Little Mix are listed as co-writers on the track, which probably means that Pretty Girls was originally created to be a song for them but was then handed over to Britney for whatever reason.
The team that pulls the strings manages Britney recently confirmed that the pop princess is now shifting her focus to putting out “great singles” instead of a full album for the foreseeable future. Hopefully that means that we’ll get to hear Pretty Girls soon. Iggy could certainly use a hit right now since Beg For It under-performed and Trouble isn’t charting, not to mention her recent tour postponement and social media blackout.
Fingers crossed that Pretty Girls will be the song to put Britney and Iggy back on top again. If it ends up flopping, then it’s going to be a seriously bad look for both artists. So this song better be a number 1 Britney Spears hit. Why? Because Iggy Azalea can rescue Britney Spears's career. Veteran artists including Britney Spears should not be a thing in a past. Veterans like Backstreet Boys and Avril Lavigne needs to stay and make new music for new generations as well as old fans which is why Britney Spears is one of them.
Besides, Britney Spears did not survive very well in 2001-2003 and the only way to bring back Britney Spears is huge in America appearance is 2004. That's when 2003's Toxic makes a music video and airs in early 2004 which is why In The Zone could've been released in early 2004 instead of late 2003.
Not only that, Toxic should've released a music video in 2003 because Toxic came out in 2003. But no, the lead single from 2003 is Me Against the Music, not Toxic. Me Against the Music could've done better if the song came out in 2003 and 2003 is not a good year for Britney Spears. Curse you, 2004.
Anyway, remember In The Zone's Me Against the Music from 2003? That song features Madonna as Britney Spears kissed Madonna's mouth in 2003 at the 2003 MTV Video Music Awards. I don't think 2003 is gonna be happy for Britney Spears after kissing Madonna at the 2003 MTV VMA. Speaking of Madonna, I just want you to talk about a new Madonna album which came out last week called Rebel Heart. So let's check it out. Shall we?

I appears that on the Billboard charts, Madonna misses number 1 for first time since 1998, as Empire scores a surprise victory. Boo!
While Madonna's Rebel Heart wins sales race with 116K, Empire however, tops BB200. Double boo! Oh well, At least number 2 is quite good for a Madonna debut week with 116k copies in the US. Anyway, let's continue.
With 116K sales, Madonna's Rebel Heart predictably won the weekly album sales race while Empire manage to top the Billboard 200 chart.
So it appears that Madonna’s Rebel Heart was the week’s best selling album, but the Empire soundtrack claims the top spot on its Billboard 200 chart.
The 116,000 opening week sales figure for Rebel Heart bests the 110,000 for the soundtrack to FOX’s juggernaut TV series. The consumption race, however, skews in favor of Empire.
With Track Equivalent Albums (10 single sales = 1 album sale) and Streaming Equivalent Albums (1500 single streams = 1 album sale) added to the mix, Empire boasts a first week consumption unit total of 130,000. Not notably boosted by TEA or SEA, the Rebel Heart consumption total clocks in at 121,000 units.
Billboard elaborates that Empire received a 17,000 unit boost from TEA and a 3,000 upgrade from SEA. Madonna’s album earned 4,000 from TEA and 1,000 from SEA.
In moving what Hits Daily Double reports as approximately 116,472 first week copies, Madonna’s Rebel Heart did not simply best forecasts. It ranked as this past week’s best-selling album.
Comfortably ahead of the Empire soundtrack (~107,140) in pure sales, Rebel Heart is a lock to claim #1 on the Billboard Top Album Sales Chart even given the likelihood that the publication’s data will differ slightly from that reported by Hits.
If Hits’s data holds up, Rebel Heart will not, however, land at #1 on the revamped Billboard 200.
Now centered on consumption, the BB200 ranks albums based on weekly sales, Track Equivalent Albums (10 single sales = 1 album sale) and Streaming Equivalent Albums (1500 single streams = 1 album sale).
By earning considerably stronger TEA and SEA marks, the Empire soundtrack claims a higher overall consumption unit total. It is thus set to claim the #1 spot on the Billboard 200.
According to Hits, Empire scored a first week consumption unit total (Sales + TEA + SEA) of about 128,640. Madonna’s album, despite winning the sales race, grabs the runner-up spot in the consumption battle. It claims a first week total of approximately 121,972.
Billboard’s data will not align precisely with the Hits data, but the disparity will doubtfully be enough to change the pecking order on the Billboard 200. Empire is almost surely this week’s #1 album.
This is why I don't trust America competitions. Why? Because I hate America competitions. America competitions ruined America successes and never stops. I want my America loves America releases appearance back, America.
Stupid, America competitions. Better luck next time, Madonna.
