While I think this page is mostly accurate there are some incorrect info specifically when it comes to the songwriters. For example: the track called 'Passenger' is said to have the songwriters mentioned from someone's tweet but I did some research on twitter and that tweet got deleted so the mentioned list of supposed songwriters for the track is not valid. Little flaws like this are the reason why I am submitting an edit request. Thanks for hearing. Westernassisin (talk) 12:27, 16 November 2013 (UTC)
This was printed July 2012, and features lyrics very similar to the ones in the song "Till It's Gone". Should anything from this be counted in the page, possibly as a footnote to the tracklisting? I'm assuming not, since "tumblr" isn't exactly a source. http://imperialdestruction.tumblr.com/post/27184491155/its-gone 75.26.253.200 (talk) 01:15, 27 November 2013 (UTC)
Didn't produce work bitch...
Excuse me but it's not right to say she didn't promote. On top of Good Morning America and the E! documentary, she did countless radio interviews, she gave ET, E! and Extra interviews on TV. She went to the UK were she did 5 minutes TV interviews for Germany, France and the UK. She gave interviews to DayBreak, Stylin' In, Would You Rather? ('4music' channel) and This Morning in the UK. She went to Chatty Man too in the UK and gave promotion to Work Bitch. She gave a "release preview" party to all iHeart radio partners (radio stations) across the USA and it was even filmed. She went to the Ellen show today, her UK publicist confirmed another TV interview next week and she hosted Sirius XM Thanksgiving countdown. On top of that she is hosting AT40 with Ryan Seacrest this weekend, she will appear on a UK show called "Surprise Surprise" and she is expected to appear today at a Planet Hollywood welcome party.
It seems to me that an angry fan who thinks promotion is "performing" only wrote this shady article. It is biased to say she didn't promote at all or to leave all the above promotion without any mention. As far as I know, "Chatty Man" and "Ellen" alone is better promotion than Femme Fatale.
As to whether she promoted or not is subject to one's own personal opinion. Consultation of the fan sites show much contention on this point. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.137.150.35 (talk) 07:56, 15 April 2014 (UTC)

Under the following section:
All three should be changed from [c] to [b]
Source: I am William "DJ Keebz" Kebler" and this production credit was changed before album release.
Thanks

Not done: Thanks for wanting to correct this, but we need a verifiable, reliable source for the information. You could confirm your identity somehow, but the facts still wouldn't be verifiable. Better to correct the information in an interview or on an official website then provide that source. Thanks, Celestra (talk) 05:12, 4 December 2013 (UTC)
The ironic thing is that this the source people are using when posting the credits. I have the new credits and could post a picture or you can contact me via my website for identity proof www.keebz.com not really sure what else to do but this is actually effecting my other projects i am bidding. What can I do? thanks, DjKeebz (talk) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 23.242.174.45 (talk) 22:16, 4 December 2013 (UTC)
Is this the actual album artwork? Her picture looks in colour as opposed to black and white, as I have seen it everywhere else on the internet. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 151.64.61.167 (talk) 09:13, 4 December 2013 (UTC)
This album is listed as a concept album... Yeah, okay, there is a source that claims that this is, but this shouldn't be taken as golden. This is more of an opinion. A concept album wouldn't have "Work B****" as a song that follows the track "Alien". It's clear this is just a standard pop album. Comparing to previous Britney albums, "In The Zone" is the only album she has done to date that could be considered a concept album. Other comparisons are Janelle Monae's "The ArchAndroid" album and Madonna's "American Life" album.
I can't undestand why it's listed as a commercial failure, while it's sold 100,000 copies on its first week just in the US. Other albums are listed as a 'moderate success' or even 'hits' when charting at top 10 in a minor country... I think it should be listed as a moderate success. It's a bit offensive, i think. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.39.57.9 (talk) 22:06, 30 December 2013 (UTC)

In the Genre section of the description of the album, edit the lower case first letter 'p' in "pop" to have the first 'P' in upper case, as it should read "Pop" not "pop" as its the first item in the list of genres. 24.171.242.147 (talk) 04:58, 12 January 2014 (UTC)
Done I've also de-capitalized some later genres as Template:Infobox_album#Genre "Note that most genres aren't proper nouns, and shouldn't be capitalized, but the first word in the list should be." although I've previously had arguments as to whether Techno is a proper noun or not.

The album was certified Gold in Brazil and in Venezuela. The source is Sony's facebook page of the respective countries. But here is my question, is that source reliable enough to include it on this page? I've seen that in the Avril Lavigne album certifications they include sources like twitter and facebook accounts. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mtvdeo (talk • contribs) 16:36, 3 March 2014 (UTC)
I deleted the section about the 3rd single being Tik Tik Boom! There hasn't been any official announcement regarding what the 3rd single will be and if there will be a 3rd single! Unless someone provides proof, it should not be re-posted on here! 24.138.180.140 (talk) 09:30, 20 March 2014 (UTC)
Not enough info to warrant an individual article. Most of the sources here come from album reviews; per WP:NSONG, it is more appropriate for such content to be included in the album article. Other info is not substantial and can easily be merged. –Chase (talk / contribs) 21:54, 12 July 2014 (UTC)
Britney Spears is credited for co-writing every single song on 'Britney Jean' (including all bonus tracks). The information is available on the BMI website and the 'Britney Jean' album liner (info includes all bonus tracks). The AllMusic website also has the same information (standard edition). Britney Spears' name comes first in the album liner. Israell (talk) 22:51, 29 July 2014 (UTC)
Has it been confirmed that Perfume was the final single for the album? If so can proof/source be provided, if there isn't then can it be removed from the sentence. 24.138.180.140 (talk) 09:10, 2 September 2014 (UTC)
Should the Myah Marie controversy be included in the article? Short story: Myah Marie recorded several vocal takes using Britney's signature singing style & tone and such takes were used as lead vocals in most songs of the album (most notably in "Passenger", "Alien", "Body Ache", "Tik Tik Boom" adlibs, etc.) yet she isn't credited, not even as a background vocalist.
The recording session files for "Alien" leaked months ago so we definitely know Myah actually did record backing and lead vocals (even though she's never mentioned in the credits of this song) while Britney only recorded the verses but not the chorus/hook, also Britney's "take me home" line was replaced with one of the takes Myah recorded as you can hear in the final mix of the song. The same situation happened with the song "Passenger" (Britney singing during the verses / Myah singing during the chorus, bridge & high notes) as many people already speculated since the song leaked shortly before the album release and was ultimately confirmed by a number of fans who got hold of the recording session files and months later a couple of DJs released 2 remixes with Britney's original takes and replaced Myah's parts with backing vocals Sia recorded for the song just like she did with "Perfume" (she co-wrote both songs).jrcaporal (talk) 20:40, 5 January 2015 (UTC)
It most certainly should be in the article. Previously in her career, Britney was dogged by rumors that she lipsynched to many of her songs, which she and her team vehemently denied. Current day, few people apart from her manager, Larry Rudolph, dispute that BRitney does in fact mime, has admitted to singing to playback in an infamous video that has surfaced, and has been in trouble numour times for not lipsynching well. Now it appears that she may have also developed a pattern of stealing her background vocalist's voice. Given that the album's sales were lackluster and that the fans admit they largerly dislike this album, the primary reason for this can be directly linked not only to the fact that her fans feel that Britney does not sing her own songs, but also to the feeling of betrayal that comes from this, as Britney promised this was her most "personal" album ever.
Here is a link to her fan page where fans admit they dislike the album and feel Myah was the singer: http://www.breatheheavy.com/exhale/index.php?/topic/741702-setting-the-record-straight-britney-jean-is-a-good-album/ — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:147:C002:D83A:F120:698C:7888:C85F (talk) 22:42, 18 March 2017 (UTC)

Good morning, recently the RIAA certificied Britney Jean with a gold certification for sold 500,000 copies in the country https://www.riaa.com/gold-platinum/?tab_active=default-award&ar=BRITNEY+SPEARS&ti=BRITNEY+JEANElmisterioso1979 (talk) 15:45, 26 March 2018 (UTC)
I don't know why It Should Be Easy is still displayed as single. The only reference is an Italian website that lists it, with a fan-made cover. There's no official statement elsewhere about the song ever being released as a single, either from the record label, Britney's social media, official website, etc. The only form of release it had was as a remix exclusively issued to clubs, even the article itself links to the reference that mentions Britney's reps denying It Should Be Easy was the third single off the album.
Even if we were to take that Italian radio release as true, the Template:Infobox album#Template:Singles says that promotional and radio singles shouldn't be listed: Do not add specialty- or limited-release singles, such as those supplied to radio stations and music publications, which are often marked as "Promo copy" or "Promotional".
. In that same topic, many other tracks from the album were also sent for testing purposes to American radio stations, and they're not listed as singles, because they weren't.
Finally, if we're gonna take that Italian page as gospel, it also lists Matches, and I don't see it being listed as a single on the Glory page. Pokémon Spears (talk) 01:36, 23 April 2021 (UTC)
Please read WP:STYLE before changing correct English grammar to incorrect grammar. Even the sources cited use the correct grammar, and the formatting is now inconsistent all the way through again like it was before I fixed it. Your edits are borderline disruptive, as are your inconsistent and incorrect grammar in an Encyclopedia with its own clearly defined WP:STYLE. —Cprice45 (talk) 12:41, 4 September 2022 (UTC)
