Bonne Appetit!: Scream and Shout

Biting Scream & Shout Remix

Since the release of the remix of Will.i.Am and Britney Spears’ smash, I have not written a single comment about it. Not because I hate the version (which I totally do), but to try to weigh things down and give my point of view in an unbiased way.

Though, I have to admit that I have been one of Britney’s biggest fans since her debut in 1998, but this track was the least of my favorite. Yes, I understand that Britney just made mere seconds of appearance, and this is Will.i.Am’s sole track. I have given it time, because maybe it’ll grow on me, but it never did.

Days ago, the official video for Scream and Shout Remix (or what Diddy repeatedly said that it’s The Super Black Man Remix) surfaced the web with Hit Boy, Diddy, Waka Flocka Flame and Lil Wayne added in the roster. I honestly watched the video just to see Britney’s moves, looks, and/or clap in a weird weird way.

Will.i.am + Britney’s SCREAM AND SHOUT continues to soar high!

2013

The second collaboration of hitmaker Will.I.Am and Global Pop Icon, Britney Spears continues to soar high as Scream & Shout topped the charts for Billboard’s initial launch of “New Dance/Electronic Songs Charts.”

As Billoard.com stated,

“Billboard expands its coverage of the growing dance scene by launching Dance/Electronic Songs, the first-ever ranking of the nation's top dance songs combining digital download sales (tracked by Nielsen SoundScan), radio airplay (monitored by Nielsen BDS) and streaming data (tracked by BDS from such services as Spotify, Muve, Slacker, Rhapsody, Rdio, MySpace, Xbox Music and Guvera) and reported club play from a select national panel of 140 club DJs.

Outside of club play data, Dance/Electronic Songs will match the methodology applied to Billboard's signature all-genre songs ranking, the Billboard Hot 100. Titles eligible for the chart will be determined based on a song's core sound and tempo, as they have been for our sales-based Dance/Electronic Digital Songs chart, which launched in 2010. Dance remixes of titles categorized as pop, rock, R&B, rap or another genre would not make a song eligible for Dance/Electronic Songs, even if the title appears on the Dance Club Songs or Dance/Mix Show Airplay chart.”

A new bite of the said smash, hit the internet airwaves as Chris Cox, a music producer and DJ, released his remix version of Will.I.Am and Britney’s epic dance track, of which I think was brilliant, that runs for 6 minutes and 7 seconds!
