Circus 3M in the US from the ******* 2011 data of 1.7M 

 

Blackout from 1M to 2M

Multiplatinum smashes.

 

We love to see it. 

Finally

Some of her previous certifications date back almost 20 years ago. Jive/RCA what the **** are y’all doing  Hopefully we get ITZ certified as 4x plat soon. 

How are some of those multi platinum, i'm assuming streaming and digital downloads? Cause OIDIA had a very limited CD release back in 2000 (which explains its low Hot 100 peak)

Timeless

OMG Finally after so many years    

 

@slw84

what does that put her total US certifications at now?

Blackout the multiplatinum smash you are 

Blackout 2x Platinum 

In The Zone and Circus 3x Platinum

Toxic 6x Platinum

 

Even My Prerrogative, Radar, Overprotected, My Only Wish this year getting certifications  

 

But Britney (album) should have been updated too.  Isn't it eligible for 5x Platinum?  @Hector

Finally, we need new totals

Streams yes.

"3", the #1 smash hit / classic that you are 

This puts Circus to 5.5M WW (including the recently certified Canada)

 

Blackout at 4.1M (WW)

Her singles certifications jumped from 7.5 million ( ) to 58 million     (not including Scream & Shut and S&M Remix)

 

Her albums certifications jumped from 34.5 million to 38.5 million

Wonder why her first 3 albums didnt have any updates

Jive strategy back then was to focus on album sales. Pop music wasnt so well embraced on radios and she got boyicotted from Slave on for not being a good role model for kids.

 

In the 2000s u would need a more urban sound meaning almost all girls who wanted to have a hot 100 hit would have to add a raper on their singles.

 

So this is probably the streaming revolution.

Finally!!! Queen Britney!!

They didn't update all the stuff, but honestly it's a great start! So happy. Britney album should be eligible for 5x and 
In the zone 4x.

The 1999/2000 era and the 2001/2002 era were different for pop radio. In 99/00 pop radio still embraced pure pop, OIDIA was a huge pop radio smash. Its Jive that stopped the song from exploding on the Hot 100 by limiting its release so that album sales, like you said, could be inflated instead. Lucky wasnt released either.

And Britney’s last multi-platinum was released prior to the digital age.

 

Blackout, Circus, Femme Fatale are NOT multi-platinum, no matter how hard you’re trying to convince us.

So what now?
