^^ People want this song to flop when it still has a pretty solid bullet (decreasing yes, but not flailing), and when its itunes position has fallen even though there is no video and Christina has not been able to promote it yet.

So if a song doesn't go #1, it's a flop? I'm confused, but whatever. I guess lambs just do it because she's so egotistical that she needs to be brought back down to earth by wishing her failure LOL.

P.S.  In no way do I think this song will be a super smash by any means, but going by the top 40 chart, it will probably peak top 10 pop airplay, maybe top 5 if it keeps up, and with the video and promotion, it will probably end up going top 10 hot 100.  That's not a flop for someone who hasn't had a #1 in almost 10 years LOL.  She's not a super super star anymore, but she's not a hasbeen either.


   At this rate she's getting there. She hasn't had a real big hit since Can't Hold Us Down. This single is pretty crucial for her.

Ain't No Other Man, Hurt, and Keeps Getting Better did decently internationally as well as here, at least on the pop charts.  Hasbeen to me is someone like Ashanti or J.Lo who can't get any airplay (excluding Ashanti's "The Way I Love You" which did decently as well on the R&B charts).  At least she'll go top 10 here.

Still I agree though that this album in general is very important to the status of her career, as she doesn't have veteran status like Mariah who basically went 10 years of full out hits before she even had a mishap.
