Reimagining the In The Zone era:
A THREAD.
A THREAD.

2ND SINGLE: Breathe On Me

Chart Peak: #6
This single would debut in the top 20 because Toxic would still be going strong. MV similar to the tour performance. It would rise to a top 10 peak despite the video being slated for being too sexual.

PROMO SINGLE: Brave New Girl
Release Date: October 20, 2004
Chart Peak: #29
In this reality, the movie 13 Going On 30 doesn’t get released until late 2004. Brave New Girl is a promotional single for the movie and does decently for not having promo outside of the movie.

After this, the era is considered over. Britney would move on to Original Doll/Blackout from here. If you want to see me reimagine other eras, let me know!
