Britney Spears And John Summit’s “I Wanna Go” Remix Debuts On Billboard

It’s been nine years since Britney Spears released her last album, Glory, and if the singer’s comments about getting back to work hold true, she may never release another full-length again. After finally gaining her freedom following a decade-plus-long conservatorship, Spears has made it clear that she is not on good terms with many in the music industry, as well as some in her own family.

Since Glory dropped back in 2016, only a handful of tracks by Spears, or crediting the Grammy winner, have emerged — either as collaborations with other stars or as “from the vault” compositions that finally earn a moment in the spotlight. Despite not recording any new material, Spears scores a hit on a Billboard chart in America alongside one of the most exciting producers in the dance world, and fans will already be familiar with her part in the tune.

Britney Spears Debuts With “I Wanna Go (John Summit Remix)”

Spears scores a new smash on the Hot Dance/Electronic Songs chart this frame as she joins remixer and producer John Summit on the aptly-titled “I Wanna Go (John Summit Remix).” The cut opens at No. 22 on Billboard’s ranking of the most consumed tracks that can be classified as either dance or electronic when it comes to genre.

How Many Dance Hits has Britney Spears Charted?

As “I Wanna Go (John Summit Remix)” debuts, Spears earns her eleventh career placement on the Hot Dance/Electronic Songs chart. While she hasn’t released completely new music in quite some time, it’s been just a little over a year since she last scored an additional smash on the tally. In February 2024, “Selfish” spent one frame at No. 12 before disappearing.

Which Britney Spears Songs Have Hit No. 1?

Included in Spears’s 11 hits on the Hot Dance/Electronic Songs chart are two No. 1s. The singer first settled into the top spot in 2013 alongside Black Eyed Peas frontman will.i.am, as “Scream & Shout” led the charge for a month. In 2022, the superstar doubled her total number of leaders alongside Elton John, thanks to “Hold Me Closer.”

“I Wanna Go” on the Billboard Charts

Interestingly, “I Wanna Go” appears on the Hot Dance/Electronic Songs chart for the first time. The original version — a pop tune credited solely to Spears that was released well over a decade ago — never made it to this tally, though it was a win across a variety of Billboard charts. The dance-pop composition was issued as a single from her album Femme Fatale, which arrived in the spring of 2011. That full-length also produced “Hold It Against Me” and “Till the World Ends,” with “I Wanna Go” serving as one of the final promotional focus tracks.

Britney Spears Returned “I Wanna Go” to a Billboard Chart Days Ago

Sales of the original “I Wanna Go” exploded recently, turning it into a Billboard win once more. Just last week, the first take on the single rebounded onto the Dance Digital Song Sales chart, reappearing out of nowhere at No. 10.

“Toxic Pony” Started This Trend for Britney Spears

This frame is not the first time that Spears has scored a hit on a Billboard roster without any real involvement. In 2022, a tune titled “Toxic Pony” spent one week in last place, at No. 40, on the Pop Airplay chart. The production was helmed by remixer Altego, who mashed up Spears’s career-defining single “Toxic” with Ginuwine’s “Pony,” and the reworking became an unlikely win for all three artists.

“Scary” Became a Strong Seller in Time for Halloween

There’s been a lot happening with Spears’s music lately, even if the singer isn’t working on new material. Just last month, her record label gave the song “Scary” a wide release after years of being relegated to obscure status, as it was previously only available on the Japanese deluxe edition of Femme Fatale. Sales of “Scary” skyrocketed just before Halloween, and though it wasn’t able to reach any Billboard rankings, purchases increased by almost 500% from one frame to the next.
