The song didn't even go top 20 on the Hot 100 after BOMT. Why?

It didn't have a physical release, it would have went Top 10 if it did.

It would make sense if you change the thread title to:

Why did Xtina flop when she got released?

Meanwhile in my country...

"...Baby One More Time" - #1
"Sometimes" - #6
"(You Drive Me) Crazy" - #4
"Born to Make You Happy" - #3

"Genie in a Bottle' - #2
"What a Girl Wants" - #18
"I Turn to You" - #65
"Come on Over Baby (All I Want Is You)" - #23

Not her being put straight back into that bottle...

And yet

Sometimes - 156141 daily meanwhile WAGW+I turn to you and Come on over 110643

Isn't Genie In A Bottle the only Christina Aguilera song outstreaming Sometimes... ?

Jive wanted people to buy her albums so no physical singles were released

Sometimes was played alot on radio I'm hearing it everywhere in summer 1999
