Loose dominated in Europe, it was successful in the US too but it's mega success in Europe was why the album was so huge.

I guess I've heard Promiscuous so much over the last 10 years I assumed it would be higher. 

Yay. Her biggest selling album in the US. <3

 

She ruled 2006.

So overrated. 

A classic album

The US never cared for her - it does feel low for having 2 #1 smashes and Maneater was a cute top 20 hit and current streaming classic

 

 

 

 

Omg wow I thought it’s much higher. 

It's a classic pop album 

It would be 6x platinum had they released the right singles

 

Afraid (promo single)

Promiscuous girl is not my tea but I guess it made sense as a lead single

All good things come to end 2nd single

Say it right as the 3rd single

Maneater (US)/ No Hay Igual (Europe/S.America) 4th single

Glow as final single

 

 

 

Congrats to Nelly.

Deserves more, but congrats to icon Furtado

seem slow to me

This

Certified for 1,000,000 in Germany and 1,100,000 in the UK

Deserve diamond

I can remember being annoyed that JT’s FS/LS was doing so much  better than this in the US 

crazy to think that even B'day by Beyoncé is 5x platinum. i guess Loose was much bigger in Europe

B'Day is at 3.5 million pure sales in the US, compared to 2.2 million for Loose.

 

Loose has around 16 million song units across streaming, compared to around 13 million for B'Day. I would like to therefore think that B'Day is at just over 5 million RIAA units (shipments included), while Loose is at just under 4 million. Not unsurprising considering the former finished at numbers 38 and 11 on the BB200 year end charts for 2006 and 2007 respectively, compared to numbers 64 and 32 for Loose.

 

Loose was definitely bigger in Europe though, with it being certified 3 times platinum by IFPI Europe, signifying sales of 3 million units there, compared to only platinum for B'Day.

yep, its just weird that B'day was looked at as some type of underperformance while Loose was this smash album, yet they've probably moved the same amount of units WW. 

 

B'day was bigger in the US and moved almost 1M in Asia, while Loose was easily bigger in Europe and Oceania. what's most odd is that they had the same performance in LATAM. Loose was #63 on the Mexican YEC in 2006 and B'day was #62 in 2007 

It deserved more but the album was eons bigger in Europe. I guess US used mostly the singles.
