Edit request on 13 February 2012

Please change the position that the song reached on France charts, because the correct position is #1 no #5 and I have the source that can support it (http://top40-charts.com/chart.php?cid=11&date=2011-09-11) this is the link and also the posotion reached in Brazil, because the correct position is #3 no #31 and here also is the link to support it (http://top40-charts.com/chart.php?cid=8&date=2011-09-03)also please add the Taiwan Charts, because the song reached #9 position (http://top40-charts.com/chart.php?cid=14&date=2011-05-28). Please change them.

Partly done: I've done the first two but the Taiwanese one is not the official link for the Taiwanese charts so I don't want to put it on. Have you got a better source? --andy4789 ★ · (talk? contribs?) 00:24, 14 February 2012 (UTC)

Top 10 singles

The article says that Spears now has the third most top 10 singles on the US chart with this being her 12th top ten. I don't see how that is possible since Madonna alone as at least 35. Am I reading this note wrong? --Shadow (talk) 05:41, 16 February 2012 (UTC)

It's not wrong. It's the her first album to have three top ten singles. In total, she has 12 top ten singles (BOMT, Crazy, OOPS, Toxic, Gimme More, Womanizer, Circus, 3, HIAM, IWG, TTWE, S&M Remix). - Saulo ^{Talk to Me} 12:41, 16 February 2012 (UTC)

I'm not referring to that. It says "....her twelfth top ten hit overall, the third-highest female total since her first week on the chart, behind Rihanna with eighteen and Beyoncé Knowles with fourteen". Problem is, Britney does not have the third most top tens, Beyonce doesn't have the second most top tens, and Rihanna isn't in first. However, this is coming from billboard so I would like to know why they say this. --Shadow (talk) 16:53, 16 February 2012 (UTC)

Billboard says, "Dating to Spears' first week in the Hot 100's top 10 (Dec. 12, 1998), she trails only Rihanna (18) and Beyonce (14) for most top 10s among women." - Saulo ^{Talk to Me} 18:38, 17 February 2012 (UTC)
