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.

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.

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
dumbsparce Posted October 25, 2023 Posted October 25, 2023 (edited) 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. Edited October 28, 2023 by dumbsparce 3
Abracadabra Posted October 25, 2023 Posted October 25, 2023 this is amazing she has so many classics it's insane
Alexz Posted October 25, 2023 Posted October 25, 2023 Did anyone ask Maddie if Britney the album is close to 5 million?

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? 1

On 10/24/2023 at 5:59 PM, Alex Rover said: 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. On 10/24/2023 at 6:04 PM, Alex Rover said: Britney (album) gets 251,105 on Spotify. It’ll be slowed down to 5x platinum for a quite while in my opinion. On 10/24/2023 at 6:09 PM, Alex Rover said: 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. 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.

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. On 10/24/2023 at 6:42 PM, Alex Rover said: My Only Wish is only Gold. So low for a Christmas hit song. 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 12
slw84 Posted October 25, 2023 Posted October 25, 2023 8 hours ago, Green said: 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.
slw84 Posted October 25, 2023 Posted October 25, 2023 So she's getting 1M streams daily for In the zone so 5x platinum should happen as it is already 4x platinum eiligble.

Funnyfatty Posted October 26, 2023 Posted October 26, 2023 Can someone create a streaming party? We need to re discover her discography
Avenger Posted October 26, 2023 Posted October 26, 2023 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! 1 3

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. 2 4
Green Posted October 26, 2023 Posted October 26, 2023 I checked the estimations on UKmix for all her singles with at least 500k SPS and all of them were updated 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)

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.
