It was supposed to be the song of the summer.
Unfortunately, Britney Spears and Iggy Azalea have seen their infectious bop ‘Pretty Girls’ fail to ignite the Billboard Hot 100 after peaking at #29.
Now, after watching many of her own songs surpasses sales of 2 million units in the same market, Iggy has shared her thoughts on why ‘Girls’ failed to fly.
Her thoughts after the jump…
The rapper shared:
Hit the nail on the head.
For one reason or another it’s clear that Camp Britney are no longer interested in pushing the icon as a singles artist as they continue to make bank from her crowd-pleasing Vegas venture.
Unfortunately, this didn’t spell good news for Iggy who was no doubt hoping to use the song to keep momentum for her new album high until the release of its own singles.
Could ‘Girls’ have been a hit if it had been armed with more live performances? Sure.
However, there’s no doubt it would have done more for Azalea than it would have done for Britney who has already proved she is more than capable of launching successful eras without successful singles.
Remember ‘Britney Jean’?
Lol girl bye…no amount of promo could make that song happen. It’s a bad song plain and simple
The song was nice and in today’s music YES it would have been a hit if they’d promoted it! But Iggy has to come a little harder with her flow and get back to the bars she used to spit before FANCY! Seems like her camp is always searching for a catchy hook and commercial driven song !
I SAID THE SAME THING ABOUT PRETTIEST HURTS (WHEN YOU KNOW YOU DON’T LOOK LIKE RIHANNA).
so true promotion wasn’t the reason fancy was a hit, people just like it.it’s if she promoted pretty girl more it would have been a hit. people don’t like it just like how they don’t like some of her other songs, the thing is if people like a song they will support promo are not if they don’t like it they won’t support promo are not.
i hate when you can’t correct typos on here,i meant to say if she promoted pretty girl more it still wouldn’t have been a hit.
What a f****** liar. She said that she wasn’t a feature and that the song was equally hers. She’s soooooooo roasted lol.
But it isn’t her camps job to promote said song, she can’t perform the song on her own, are they in the same label bc if not, iggy’s label won’t be putting funds up for the project. She may say it is an equal song but she is a feat act at the end of the day
I like it a lot when it comes on my workout playlist I’m lit lol
Worst single of the year…
I liked it better than Work B**** though…
IT’S A HORRIBLE “SONG” BUT I’M SURE A FEW LIVE PERFORMANCES & A CLEAR CHANNEL DEAL WOULD HAVE MADE IT ANOTHER “HIT”. IT WOULD HAVE BEEN IN THE SAME VEIN OF WORK B**** & WOMANIZER FOR ME (BC I HATE THOSE TERRIBLE SONGS) INSTEAD OF TOXIC & OOPS (HER BEST HITS).
KIIII WHAT IS HIS IG?
KIII I DON’T TRYING TO SEE THAT BOY’S D***. I’VE ALWAYS BEEN CURIOUS TO WHAT THESE PPL LOOK LIKE.
But he deleted it so fast lol.
I don’t think he meant to show it 2bh cos the pic was of his sneakers and there it was. Solid 9.5 if you ask me.
They forgot to add that the song is imature and childish for two grown women.
Wow, now Iggy is putting it all on Britney? Before the song came out she was going on and on about how the song was from the both and she wasn’t just featured.
It’s the same with Rita Ora, you can’t force a flop, people don’t like mediocrity
AND THAT’S EXACTLY WHY NO ONE CHECKS FOR YOUR FAILURE OF A BLOG.
Get off my d*** you pressed thot, you are officially banned from my reply section, be gone
SEE THE THING IS, THIS ISN’T YOUR BLOG. PEOPLE ACTUALLY COMMENT. WITH THAT BEING SAID, YOU HAVE NO POWER F**! SIT IT DOWN AND BUY A DOMAIN!
Isn’t this tyranny late for her doctor’s check up…I heard h***** is a nasty disease ….
Britney spears is done ….let her stay permanently in las Vegas and save our ear drums the trouble …..and when is the screaming fat p** moving to Vegas ….we all know trashyonce is done too.
Wow, I can’t lol believe she said that. Smh.
Telephone didn’t have one performance. But to this day it is the best selling female collaboration of all time.
Next.
☕☕☕☕
It sold more than fancy problem s and m ?
I see
Are we really comparing a release by Gaga in her prime to a release by Britney almost a decade past her prime? Not to mention featuring Beyonce is not the same as featuring a rapper.
As a britney fan..ummm bish you ruined the song for me ….
Femme Fatale was a solid album..underrated
Britney jean….garbage
But it’s britney we are talking about…bish ain’t got nothing else to prove
It flopped because it is trash,generic and beyond immature
I forgot all about the song, lol. I thought it would be the song of the summer. Y’all let Britney get away with nit trying since Blackout. I bet she still think she have power in her name. I think all the BIG artist are giving up. Why s**** away when your album has a high chance of not even going platinum. They’re already rich, so they’ll just tour and not care.
It’s the new artist that hve to s**** away just to get a buzz.
That’s what I don’t like about iggy
Bish you should be grateful with minimal talent you’ve managed to fool a lot of people
And the ego on her…thinking she is above or on the same level as real rappers
Bish please
I would have liked to have seen it performed live more i like the song myself and i agree with Iggy!!
Britney’s worst single ever, it’s not even catchy.
I don’t think Britney was looking for a hit song I think she was just doing it for fun and to have new music out there the song is nice the media was just hyping it up due to the fact that Britney was in the song I still jam it regardless how successful it is
I actually like #PrettyGirls..It’s fun but I don’t think Britney is interested in commercial or single success . She’s too busy with the vegas gig to give a damn.
It flopped because it’s trash.
The way Deadney’s team literally copied-and-pasted Fancy’s beat and chorus expecting a massive, “song of the summer” type comeback smash hit tailor-made for the GP only for it to completely backfire and BOMB.
LMAO at the fact that it missed the top 10 in literally every country except half of Belgium and a Greece digital chart where selling 3,000 copies is Gold.
I mean… where are Usher, Fergie, Gwen Stefani and Britney´s albums? (and singles)?
Meanwhile two artists way more successful and legendary and everything in between get based constantly here because of their releases at 50 years old: Madonna and Mariah Carey. They manage to actually release their albums even now after 30 years. They put everybody to shame. But Sam and his team need to drag them while supporting these people I mentioned as if they were going to slay with their new releases LOL
Britney is done just like Mariah tbh
No. I don’t remember Britney Jean.
Wow
