Elton John and Britney Spears’ “Hold Me Closer” roars in at No. 6 on the Hot 100. The mash-up of three John hits, released Aug. 26, on Interscope, opens with 20.9 million in radio airplay audience, 11.1 million streams and 48,000 sold. It debuts at No. 1 on Digital Song Sales (marking Spears’ eighth leader and John’s second), No. 17 on Streaming Songs and No. 31 on Radio Songs.

Radio played a big part in propelling it to Top 10. So, Radio is still relevant, especially if the artist isn't a streaming monster like Drake.

Do you agree, my Chart Queens sis?

Someone should inform our good antsy sis Breet about Fiji water

Those Marmalade articles that mentioned P!nk's chair have made me revisit Britney's Stronger




I wonder why it failed to hit Top 10 in the US (Peak: #11). I mean, it is a super radio-friendly catchy pop song.
It is even more curious that it merely peaked at #17 on Pop radio ("Oops" hit #1 on Pop), according to Wiki.
Did she have a bad relationship with radio back then?


@Data sis, can you change the thread title such that it contains a more searchable term? Both "britney" and "spears" are considered too common by the forum's search engine. Thanks!
