# Talk:Toxic (song)

"the charts work better when seperated" (sic).  How? --Mel Etitis  (Μελ Ετητης) 21:10, 28 September 2005 (UTC)

The USA Charts should be listed in one table because they all have something in common namely, they all come from the same region ie. USA.
The International Charts also have a common element, namely they all come from regions outside the USA.
Listing the two tables as one does not make sense because there are many USA charts and only one chart from each of the other regions.

I notice that this has just been deleted from the article:

"Toxic" has been voted the world's second favourite song in a global poll of 700,000 music fans (Source: BBC News).
Is that because it's untrue? --Mel Etitis  (Μελ Ετητης) 22:45, 1 October 2005 (UTC)

What kind of article is this if it doesn't say what was number one? What was it?—Preceding unsigned comment added by 60.226.28.35 (talk) 07:24, 4 October 2005 (UTC)

I always thought that this song made it to two in the netherlands (i live there) FANSTAR 20:10, 28 September 2006 (UTC)

Nope, only number four.  See here for the full trajectory.  ShadowHalo 00:18, 22 June 2007 (UTC)
Toxic only made it to number two in New Zealand so i dont know why people keep changing it to number one! I should know i live in NZ!—Preceding unsigned comment added by 121.73.9.153 (talk) 05:54, 23 February 2008 (UTC)
Someone stupid removed the right chart position and changed them.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 140.128.194.151 (talk) 11:07, 5 March 2008 (UTC) 

A version of Toxic by the song's co-writer, 1990s pop star Cathy Dennis, has been circulated on the Internet. I can't seem to find any indication of a commercial release, but a homemade video can be found on Youtube here. We're not supposed to post Youtube links in articles, so I can't use that as a source. Can anyone provide a source to suggest the song has been commercially released by Dennis? The Youtube comments suggest it might be a demo. 68.146.41.232 17:17, 10 September 2007 (UTC)

I'm from Germany and Toxic has never been number one in Germany. It peaked at numer 4.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.76.174.188 (talk) 16:44, 27 March 2008 (UTC) 

Is there some proof somewhere that Josh Holloway is actual the guy in the video? It doesn't look like him...  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.14.131.232 (talk) 04:41, 1 July 2008 (UTC) 

Wheres the source for the paragraph which says she had the crystals stuck on her and only allowed 3 peeople in the room?Mc8755 (talk) 11:13, 6 July 2008 (UTC)

I'm not sure, the only thing I can think of is that if you saw the MTV Making The Video of "Toxic" they stated this as a fact and showed them kicking everyone out of the room except for the select few.  That may help someone find a credible source knowing that information, hope it helps.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 146.186.68.73 (talk) 17:10, 19 September 2008 (UTC)
Sort of thing those programs ignore, like in Umbrella, which there is a source for there only being two people (one cried.. couldn't hit it). Also in this paragraph, the Piece of me article says its 500k, this article says 1.1m. The crystals stuff, I've always thought it was a net, body fishnet. --86.159.63.134 (talk) 16:43, 30 September 2008 (UTC)
^ Yes she is definitely wearing a body stocking or fishnet.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.232.111.9 (talk) 01:08, 21 June 2010 (UTC) 

On the Yael Naim page (in wikipedia), it said she covered the song toxic in 2007—Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.242.67.48 (talk) 22:25, 16 November 2008 (UTC)

This song is not rocket science. You want to analyse music? Start with Beethoven. And perhaps look at Lennon/McCartney. Publishing a section here called 'music and structure' only reveals your age and paltry lack of real music chops.—Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.221.39.137 (talk) 19:52, 29 November 2008 (UTC)

it was also number 1 on U.S Billoard Hot Dance Airplay:

The 4th track on the Japanese version of the "Toxic" single was actually "Me Against The Music (Gabriel & Dresden Radio Edit)" Heidijo236 (talk) 23:19, 1 November 2009 (UTC)

On 11:17, 23 January 2010 someone (84.196.180.134) removed the reference to a youtube video that claims the hook of the song is from a bollywood movie. why was that? and why without  discussion? any objections to reinstate it (maybe with a better explanation). 79.180.32.43 (talk) 15:47, 30 January 2010 (UTC)

Was perusing the recent changes and came across this little addition. As I'm not in the know about this subject, I've requested a citation, but you guys will probably know if it's true or not. Orphan Wiki 13:47, 6 June 2010 (UTC)

this pop-rock song. The song contains rock'n'roll elements
listen http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kt7Tvge9Iv0  —Preceding unsigned comment added by AlexZachem (talk • contribs) 23:33, 30 July 2010 (UTC) 

The fact that a song was later covered by a rock band, doesnt make this single pop rock, anymore than Paul Anka's version of Wonderwall (song) makes that a swing-jazz song. Pop rock is pop music done in a rock format, usually a band with guitars, bass and drums and that is clearly not what Britney was doing here.--SabreBD (talk) 07:26, 31 July 2010 (UTC)

I think there was a dance song, most likely European, that had a very similar melody to the chorus of 'Toxic', including those dingling bass guitar notes at the end of each line. Anyone remembers what it was?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.152.32.17 (talk) 06:21, 4 July 2010 (UTC)

In 'The Single's Collection' CD the cover page with all of the tracks and their composers and producers (I don't know the proper name for this) it says 'Toxic' was #1 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 for 4 weeks. So, what do you think...? #1 or #9??  — Preceding unsigned comment added by InTheZon (talk • contribs) 02:36, 24 January 2011 (UTC) 

It was number one in Pop Songs for four weeks. A printing mistake. Xwomanizerx (talk) 02:47, 24 January 2011 (UTC)

I tested that on Logic Pro 9 and it's actually 143 BPM. Not that it's that big of a deal. Just thought I'd say that it's 143 BPM on my music software. --Rainbowroad6w (talk) 18:41, 12 October 2011 (UTC)

It's listed as 144 on the source. Xwomanizerx (talk) 18:57, 12 October 2011 (UTC)
Well, ok. It's 143 on Logic Pro 9, though. But ok. It's a small difference. --Rainbowroad6w (talk) 23:17, 13 October 2011 (UTC)

Britney Spears said in her booklet that comes with the CD for "The Singles Collectipn" that "Toxic" debuted on January 31, 2004.

There is a rendition of Toxic written for the trailer of "Promising Young Woman" motion picture. Here is the link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7i5kiFDunk8

Toxic Las Vegas has also charted on Dance/Electronics Digital Song Sales. Is that allowed to be apart of the chart section? BritneyThePromoLover (talk) 12:17, 7 April 2023 (UTC)
