It doesn’t make any sense.

 

In The Zone

Pure Sales - 3,000,000+

Toxic - 6.9M [6/30/23] - 690k+

Everytime - 1.2M [7/24/23] - 120k+

Me Against The Music - 600k [7/10/23] - 60k+

Outrageous - 250k [5/21/23] - 25k+
Breathe On Me - 200k [5/21/23] - 20k+

Touch Of My Hand - 75k [8/23/23] - 7.5k+

The Hook-Up - 70k [7/24/23] - 7k+

Known Nielsen Soundscan numbers: 3,929,500+

 

There’a no possible way an album that sold 3M pure copies shipped only 3,070,000 - having only 70k copies shipped and not sold would be virtually impossible. And this isn’t even including IGTBB, Showdown, Early Borin’, Shadow and Brave New Girl which would add at least another 35k.

100%, that’s what I found odd too I think RIAA don’t just count shipments anymore idk.

Hoping ITZ and Glory get certified 4X Plat and Gold respectively soon to reach 40M albums for Britney.

I honestly think Glory might be too far off for Gold. If anything we should be pushing for TSC to be certified gold because surely it should be damn close since it has nearly 300K in pure sales plus the streams from 3.

Well good news for her stans. Britney hasn’t  had a multi-platinum in 15 years then (since Circus)
 

Her total certified units in the US stand at 96,5M now. 

 

But that’s still lower than Gaga’s 107M units. 

Britney and Gaga stan each other let's not be random

Blackout has come so far. At the time it was deemed a flop, especially with the BB200 fiasco, the singles flopping on the radio and their Hot 100 runs not being any better either. I would have never believed that it would eventually become a double platinum hit that includes a half-diamond classic.

RIAA Certifications — Britney Spears:

 

Songs (63,500,000):
Toxic — 6x Platinum
Womanizer — 6x Platinum
Circus — 5x Platinum
Gimme More — 5x Platinum
Till The World Ends — 4x Platinum
3 — 3x Platinum
If You Seek Amy — 2x Platinum
Work B*tch — 2x Platinum
Break The Ice — Platinum

I’m so proud of these songs it’s crazy. Womanizer and Circus solidifying the Circus album as a smash comeback album. IUSA doing cute for a third single.

 

Gimme More being that high despite seeming like an underperformance back then. BTI getting a cute cert.

 

TTWE demolishing HIAM and IWG as it should. 


3 doing it’s thing.

 

Gay and Hag anthem Work B being 2x platinum! 

Anyone know what Circus (album) is looking like in sales? How long till 4X plat?

It sold 2,4M pure in the US. 
 

The fact that it’s 3x platinum shows that the streams are really low (100M on Spotity…). The song has not had popularity over time.

 

On 10/24/2023 at 6:01 PM, Alex Rover said:

Never. 

 

Those albums generate low streams (especially Self-Titled) that it won’t be able to generate significantly more units than their pure sales.


See In The Zone sold 3M pure sales in the United States yet it’s not even 4x platinum.

Britney (album) gets 251,105 on Spotify. It’ll be slowed down to 5x platinum for a quite while in my opinion. :deadbanana4::redface:

I Wanna Go & Piece Of Me sold 1,8M pure sales in the US and they’re only certified double platinum. HIAM sold 1,6M digital downloads and it stands at 2m certified units. This shows how much Britney’s streams suck. :deadbanana4: 

 

You’d have thought that Criminal was double platinum at least seeing all the hype it received from her stans on Tik Tok and Twitter. Beyoncé’s « flop » singles from the 4 era: RTW & LOT (both 4x platinum) stomped on it. :dies:

Spotify (10/23)


Moves Like Jagger — 772,733 

Toxic — 675,030

Do you really wanna play the collab card, ugh? :campfire:

- Britney’s last top 10 is a DUET and it underperformed as it’s only eligible for platinum ;

- Britney’s last tanked platinum song features G-Eazy ; 

- Britney’s last #1 was given by Rihanna (a flopped one hence it’s only Gold) ;

- Britney’s last top 3 and best-selling digital hit, Scream & Shout, is a FEAT in which she’s not even a LEAD artist. William has much bigger hits than it with the BEP ; 

- Britney’s penultimate top 3 was saved by Ke$ha and Nicki Minaj (and it’s forgotten trash). 
 

Britney couldn’t even save the collabs of her own albums seeing how she made Madonna bomb. And that was during her prime! MATM is Gold and has abysmal streams: 58M on Spotity. 
 

Christina’s collabs are alignated with success ; that’s the difference. :coffee2:

My Only Wish is only Gold. So low for a Christmas hit song. :dies:
 

Britney’s stats are so overrated.

 

just wanted to make a mega-post so people don't have to scroll thru 8 pages to witness this mega-meltdown like i did :heart2:

Those certifications are amazing for songs released in the physical era

 

Baby One More Time is the highest certified female song of 1998 (5x Platinum) and Toxic is the highest certified female song of 2004 (6x Platinum tied with Alicia Keys' If Ain't Got You). Also Toxic was around 6.5 million last year so it will probably top the 7 million mark soon.

Oh yes (that person is trolling) you do have that thread for the highest certified female songs per year. Wonderful

Nah it's around 475k without inclusion of vinyls

 

The singles collection is beyond gold. It's over 600k without any other singles besides 3. It's just far away from platinum.

 

So a gold cert should come soon.

 

It's good they haven't touched her 2x platinum eligible GHMP or gold eligible TSC because it shows they are focused on parent albums.

So she's getting  1M streams daily for In the zone so 5x platinum should happen as it is already 4x platinum eiligble.

It was never a bb200 fiasco. Billboard just changed the rules that week and this was what made Blackout not be #1.

Changing the rules the week of is a fiasco, her label never would have picked that date otherwise.

The most happy I am about is Gimme more and Blackout, there was no publicity she was doing that time and people were loathing Britney and today GM is half way to diamond while Blackout is multi platinum so so happy for her!

Exactly im so happy that it's only gaining the numbers to match the respect. Gimme more and piece of me were still huge though even back in 07. 

 

Gimme more is such a pop masterpiece though and lived on with the next gen. I mean it's incredibly viral on Tiktok and shorts. Toxic obviously is another one too. Those masterpieces are only solidifying her legacy further which is great to witness.

I checked the estimations on UKmix for all her singles with at least 500k SPS and all of them were updated  :clap3: :eek: 

I never expected that from Britney's team at this point. The next in line to be certified is PerFUME which was around 460k at the beginning of the year but it probably isn't eligible for Gold yet.

 

However I'm confused about Womanizer and Gimme More because the RIAA page says 5xP for W and 4xP for GM but the video of Sony says 6xP for W and 5xP for GM. 

 

Now they need to work with the album certifications left (Britney, In The Zone, Femme Fatale and The Singles Collection should be eligible for higher certifications)

Check Maddie tweet on this, it was posted here somewhere womanzier was updated minutes ago before going live.

Yes I saw the tweet about Womanizer being updated to 6x Platinum. I guess we'll have to wait some days/weeks to see the new update on the RIAA page

 

 

I wonder if the same happened with Gimme More or if it was a typo in the video.
