“If U Seek Amy” UK Chart Update
by Danny
Posted on May 10th, 2009

Bad news for Britney in the UK this week.

Her latest single “If U Seek Amy” has been slowly climbing the official singles chart for the past few weeks.  However, even though the physical CD single was released last Monday, the song has peaked at #20 this week.  It’s doubtful that it will climb any higher.

This is Britney’s lowest charting single to date in the UK.

eurgh…First Break the Ice, then Circus and now this. Will Radar do any better? I’m doubtful, but possibly with a brilliant video and some promotion while she’s here in the UK. Will that happen? probably not. What the hell is going on with the British population?! We’re so good at getting great songs to the top of the charts, EXCEPT when it comes to Britney Spears. Its all image, I’m telling you…

Excuse the rant people, I’m sorry

to bad but hey it is still a top 20 hit, to me any song that makes it into the top 40 is a hit so congrats Brit on another hit single. Just coz it got to 20 and not higher does not make it a flop and it does not mean she will never be back in the top 10 again.

Well said Sharon, at first i a bit down about this but then i thought, hang on, she is sold out on every date of Uk leg of her tour. If that doesn’t show how much love the UK has for britney then what else will. Just because people didn’t the single as much doesn’t mean that they won;t later. Maybe people were just saving money to spend at the concert lol xoxox I love Britney forevs xoxox

I blame itunes not only did it not come on the store untill tuesday it was hard 2 find

Also as songs now get downloaded b4 the get realesed its harder 2 enter at number one once the artist already has the album out as everyone has it

it is a shame about the position. Radio 1 really have destroyed the song with there edit. allthough, it did move up some places on the chart.
we have even got lily allen singing ‘womanizer’ that shes done a few times live, which maybe promotion for Britney. I just wish that this song would blow the charts like it should.

dates are too much confusing..the video was released in march and physical edition in May?!they have to figure out new strategy

I watched the video of circus too, and i didn’t like it, but I think “If U Seek Amy” is wonderful cause it has a lot of energy and makes me crazy, compared with her recent works, I consider this one the best.

im seeing her on the 7th, and was told yesterday that my tickets are being dispatched, so you should have them soonish.

i doubt theyll get the strategy right for Radar…the made the same mistake with Circus and IUSA, i doubt theyll do it right this time.

Did any of you hear what lady gaga had to say about artists that lip synch?? Basically said that she will never lip synch a live show and that artists who do dont deserve their stardom and success. I cant help but think she is referring to brit…but she likes brit doesnt she? Always has good things to say bout her. Anyway im a die hard brit fan but i cant help but wonder if she will start losing credibility as an artist if she continues to lip synch in her live shows. Although fans have said they are sure she does sing some of the songs on this tour live..but its some not all

Shauny B

she hardly sings live on any. who cares tho? shes doin well aint she…she puts on the best shows, u dont wana hear her struggling 2 catch her breath runnin about that mahusive circus stage lol

Comment by Shauny B — Friday, May 15, 2009 @ 9:48 pm

Diego

I agree shauny…shes THE best performer out ther and we arent expecting a vocal performance from brit cos we kno she brings it in other areas. But isnt that part of the problem? We dont xpect it. And she is doing really great..i guess personally i just need to know she has still got that ability to sing totally live for majority of her show cos im realistic and know that there are times like when she is hanging upside down that it could be challenging. Im just tired of her being bashed for lip synching and want her to shut them all up. And u gota admit it would be great to hear her actually sing and hear that voice totally unaided by some backing track

Anyway,i think they only released Radar in UK only.

Comment by Jack90 — Sunday, May 17, 2009 @ 4:47 pm

Jason

I got my tickets the day the email went out about them been dispatched

I think if she sings live a few times that will be enough and i dnt think gaga was refering 2 brit i think its as people accused her of mimming when they found out she can actualy sing

Comment by Jason — Sunday, May 17, 2009 @ 8:14 pm

How can People Call If you seek Amy a Hit? It flopped Hard and to peak at 20 for a artist like Britney aint good LOL come on now
20 is shocking it sold 12,000 copies in the UK 12,000 = FLOP

and her album sales Have dried Up

Its all about Gaga right now she has stolen Britneys Thunder FACT

Britney just aint gonna sell like she used and Btw Radar is OLD this will flop harder then If you seek amy Mark my words

Comment by katie — Friday, June 19, 2009 @ 5:22 pm

its nothing to do with britneys uk fans. well firstly most people in this country just download illeagly anyway to be fair with you! every person i know does not pay to download songs!!!

also britney never did any promotion!!!!! when her songs used to chart high she was doin mega promo work and now she doesnt do anything so im not suprised the songs didnt chart high, which was a waste cuz they could have done very well!!!
