To be fair, PCD's singles came pre-streaming and before downloads fully took off, and their career was done before either well before either peaked, compromising their catalogue sales too. Considering the context, I would say the songs did tremendously well. 

 

As for the point of this thread, it's another tired attempt by a Britney stanning-troll to potentially see Taylor losing at something, even if it's something as irrelevant as an ATRL comparison thread.

Are you actually comparing single certifications from the mid-2000s and 2014-2015?

Now compare their chart runs.

Blank Space alone devours PCD’s discography. :skull:

The song that peaked at #9 in Germany and #4 in the U.K? "Don't Cha" peaked at #1 in both of these countries. How is it supposed to "devour" their entire discography when it cannot even compete with "Don't Cha."

And the charts that matter now has Blank Space outstreaming these 00s sex fads. Next!

Don't Cha (#1 in 20+ countries) is more global than any Tay single
