Plus 2002-2008 was a notoriously bad period for single sales as they were incredibly low there. The digital boom didn't hit the UK until 2009. Not sure what that poster was trying to get at "...Baby One More Time" is incredibly close to 3X Platinum, it's at 1.775 million now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You do realize UK digital sales weren’t big at all in 2008 + physical singles were already dead by then? It sold 450k pure which is huge for a 2008 song.

Closer by Ne-Yo was #15 on the 2008 UK year-end and only went Platinum in late 2017. The Promise by Girls Aloud was #17 on the 2008 UK year-end and only went Platinum in late 2018. Disturbia and Take a Bow by Rihanna were top 20 on the 2008 UK year-end and only went Platinum in 2017 despite her huge streaming power. All Summer Long by Kid Rock was #19 on the 2008 UK year-end and only went Platinum in late 2017. No Air by Chris Brown was #21 on the 2008 UK year-end and only went Platinum in late 2017. Don't Stop the Music by Rihanna was top 25 on the 2008 UK year-end and only went Platinum in 2018. Did these songs also underperform? The digital market wasn't that huge in the UK yet and a lot of 2008 hits stalled at 450k-550k pure sales and only got to Platinum in the last few years thanks to streaming. Womanizer was top 10 for eight weeks (the same as Shallow btw) and was nearly top 30 on the 2008 year-end despite being released in the last few months of the year. Shallow in the same timeframe made it only to #87 on the 2018 year-end. Several songs that were above it on the 2008 year-end chart like "That's Not My Name", "Sweet About Me" and "Warwick Avenue" which were as high as #22, #26 and #29 respectively are still certified only GOLD. Love in This Club by Usher was also higher on the year-end and is still certified GOLD. Hell, Heartbreaker by Cheryl Cole and will.i.am was also higher and it's SILVER. Conclusion: Womanizer did GREAT, it smashed and reached Platinum in the same timeframe as many other 2008 hits which proves that it has solid recurrent streams. Many hits from 2008 will never make it to this threshold. Furthermore, Britney was the 9th biggest singles artist of 2008 in the UK based on the strength of Womanizer and Piece of Me ALONE. Quote Best Selling Single Artists 2008 (last year's position in brackets) 1 (4) Rihanna 1,294,093 2 (-) Duffy 1,007,490 3 (01) Leona Lewis 992,644 4 (-) Alexandra Burke 887,933 5 (20) Girls Aloud 876,050 6 (-) Kings of Leon 859,121 7 (-) Madonna 858,447 8 (-) Basshunter 791,726 9 (44) Britney Spears 784,134 10 (-) Nickleback – 778,759 https://www.ukmix.org/showthread.php?51322-UK-Year-End-charts-2000s The only thing that underperformed was you with this poor attempt at shade.
