Billboard reported 991,000 sales in January 14, 2011, and, according to MTV, it passed 1 million in the week of July 24 of that same year.

You're ALWAYS right

Without features 

 

On Ukmix I found:

S&S - 3.675m

S&M remix - 0.6m

SMS Bangerz - 85k

 

44.16m singles

39.49m albums with club sales

83.65m albums + singles 

 

So probably like 85m records in the US since she also sold tons of DVDs

 

85m US / 182m WW

@slw84 asked me to do estimations on each song's SPS units in the U,S, and guess which certification level they're eligible for. Just wanted to get some feedback and see if you girls thought this was a good idea. I was going with the assumption that 35% of Britney's streams come from the U.S. and that "other services" (i.e. Apple Music, Amazon, Pandora, etc.) are about 30% of her Spotify+Youtube total. Any thoughts? @Anticipating?

Does the sum of 2.7M include physical sales?

Nope. It has an additional 1,412,000 physical sales which brings it to a total of 4,211,265 units in the U.S. I was going to leave out remixes and everything, too (including the FF TTWE Remix), since I’m not sure how RIAA will choose to count them.

Omg I'm glad you're bringing this up. About two weeks ago, I made a list of her her RIAA certifications should look like.  35% is a good estimate for audio streams, however, I'd say 25% of her YouTube views come from the US. Thanks to YouTube Insights, we know the percentage ranges between 23-27%.

 

"Toxic" has 343,554,139 streams on Spotify as of October 10. We can estimate 35% of that total comes from the US (120,243,948).

 

We can't ignore the existence of Apple Music, Tidal, Deezer, Google Play Music, etc. In fact, Apple Music is bigger than Spotify in the US.

Quote

As of the report from last year, Spotify had 132 million of the 212 million streaming users in the World. The new document tells us that while Spotify increased its user count to 157 million, there is now 272 million streaming users in total. It highlights in good part the fastest increase of Apple Music lately.

Using ChartMasters' comprehensive streaming method (272/157* Spotify streams), we get a total of 208,320,725 audio streams in the US.

On YouTube, the song has 410,544,290 views. Around 25% of Britney's views come from the US, so we can apply that ratio here as well, which gives us 102,636,072 video streams.

 

2,400,000 paid downloads + 1,388,804 audio units + 684,240 video units = 4,473,000 units.

I was about to spend my whole day making something like this so I really appreciate you posting this. So glad to see you back, King

 

I’m guessing physical is included since FTBOMBK is so high.

And yep, physicals are included.  I recently found out that RIAA combines physical and digital sales for singles now, which is why Mariah just got a bunch of huge certifications. BOMT will get to 4x Platinum in no time if it hasn't gotten there already!

[Arcadius]

I'm so mad her team doesn't care to update any of her older certs.
