What hasn't gone to #1 in 2009?

This is definitely a grower, but I'm stunned that this is becoming a #1 hit. One, I had pegged this as another "Me Against The Music" at best. Two, I thought the lyrical content would inhibit the chart run. Do people not realize that she's singing about threesomes?

Actually, it will be an interesting race to #1 between this and Owl City. Both songs have virtually the same bullet right now, and Britney is ahead by 500 spins.

They'll both hit #1.

What hasn't gone to #1 in 2009? I'm fine with it as long as we're getting quality #1's, which has by and large been the case. And for an alternative, consider the Black Eyed Peas' six month domination of the Hot 100 with two songs

I haven't liked a Britney track this much since Justice remixed "Me Against The Music." I'm really late with this song, but it's great.

This is the best song of her career.

That's a good argument because the only song that rivals it is "Toxic."

The melody is great, but I don't the song compares to "Toxic." It's definitely more palatable than "Radar," though. It's the vocoder that kills it for me.

Oh, yeah, I had forgotten about "Toxic." That song doesn't sound like much now -- but its production was on another level when it came out in 2004.

Was Toxic her biggest hit on CHR? I know it had like 80 million impressions from the format alone.

"...Baby One More Time" was her biggest hit, then "Toxic", then probably "Womanizer".

I listened to "toxic" the other day. I dont think its dated at all. Still sounds great IMO. My rhythmic station plays it often.

I always laugh at the logic of this lyric:
"If you don't like the company, let's just do it you and me.... or three... or four"

That's a good argument because the only song that rivals it is "Toxic." "Toxic" has held up pretty well, I'll be interested to see how I feel about this in a couple of years. But as it stands, I'd agree it's definitely one of her top songs. Along with Will Young's "Hopes & Fears," it's nice to finally see singers releasing quality songs for their greatest hits collections. Hell, even Madonna's "Celebration" and Janet's "Make Me," while not their best, were pretty good songs.

Will this go to #1 at CHR?

It's hard to predict at this point if this will hit No. 1. Jason Derulo is still gaining at No. 1 and there are several songs behind her (IYAZ and Owl City) gaining at the same rate.

I hope this goes to #1 at Pop.

Looks like it might settle for #2.

Unless somehow this stabilizes and remains stagnant, while DeRulo drops like a brick.
I don't see that carrying on for another week, though. But maybe '3' will regain a small bullet and be able to sneak into #1 next week.
