Does that mean that "Shattered Glass" will be the 5th single elsewhere? I hope not, different from most people, I never got into that song and don't think it makes for a good single choice.
I'm starting to wonder whether after "Radar" there will be another single from the album. The fact that she doesn't sing any other "Circus" tracks on tour and that she does no promotion at all for this album anymore makes me think so.
It's a real shame, "Unusual You", "Kill The Lights" and "Lace and Leather" would have been far better single choices than "Radar" in my opinion. Those songs are so great, too bad they've probably gone to waste. Hope she gets to release at least one of them as a 5th single after "Radar".
Her people shouldn't be afraid to release tracks that stray from "Blackout". If anything, that could even give the album a new push or at very least give Britney the chance to be taken a little more serious, since those are the most mature and elaborate songs from the album tracks that are left.
I doubt she'll have another single after "Radar". The album sales have dropped significantly and "Radar" is going to do nothing to resurrect them. Awful choice for a 4th single.
