In France, “La Femme en moi” is at the top of the top large-format literature and top essay charts with 15,000 copies sold.

Do the sales from the Obamas and Harry include digital copies/audio books or are these the numbers of physical copies only? I know Britneys 1.1 is only physical so maybe she can surpass them?

No a lot you guys are confused.

 

The 1.1 million figure is ALL versions, not just print, the print figure is probably closer to 500k honestly, and the rest being ebook or audiobook.

 

(also that 2.4 million print copies sold figure fans are throwing around WW isn’t  accurate either. The article sites states that’s how many copies were in print WW, not sold. She most likely did sell well over 2 million WW with all versions, but we don’t have those numbers. We only know 2.4 million copies were in print globally at that time during its first week (with more being printed now)

Mine is still shipping, it sucks living in the third world country lol. 
I'm so happy for our girl. I love her to death, but yes I agree with no promo or sit down interview, it would be too overwhelming for her.

And even they only really have 75-80% of retailer information, so it's probably a bit higher... Considering UK sales were 53% print copies, the US breakdown is probably similar with the edge given to the audio/digital side.

Only the Obamas and Prince Harry have higher selling first weeks for their memoirs.. and they are in a league all their own, like its not even close. 

 

I mean just by comparison, normal memoirs rarely even break 100,000 first week. 

 

 

This isnt a complete ranked list, but just shows how Britney's compares

wow

[BGood2Me]

She's #1 in France in the non-fiction book deppartment

Britney has been flopping in France for a while. She used to be huge here but France is known a hard market even for big popstars and if you aren't active and don't come here to promote your work and remain relevant, it's complicated.

 

For example:

• Beyoncé's #1 song Break My Soul flopped in France and only peaked at #18.
• Taylor Swift's Anti-Hero peaked at #32.

If Britney was coming to France more often people would care more. I'm glad it is smashing everywhere else though. The numbers are unbelievable

This is true. If Beyonce and Taylor Swift are semi-flopping there, I'd assume other girls might not even be able to chxrt at all.
