^ Wow cool for the “Circus” single …… “Piece Of Me” is next for Gold

^ Wow cool for the “Circus” single …… “Piece Of Me” is next for Gold

Yep. (You Drive Me) Crazy was at 388,500 as of a few months ago, so either that or Piece of Me are next. Both will happen this year.

Circus was only at 313,364 as of December 2019, so that's a great increase.

[And then we kiss]

Congrats to circus it was more faster than I expected How close is lucky to gold?the last update I know is from 2010 mtv website with 225,000

[Instinct]

December 2019

Born to Make You Happy - 385,344
(You Drive Me) Crazy - 358,693
Piece of Me - 353,590
Gimme More - 350,010
Circus - 313,364
Lucky - 293,963
Stronger - 288,563
I’m A Slave 4 U - 274,317

I guess Stronger is around 335K while Lucky is around 330K. I'm a Slave 4 U has doubled its streaming numbers over the past year, so probably around 330K as well. Piece of Me should be around 395K and I estimate (You Drive Me) Crazy at 393K ish.

Gimme More should be going Platinum soon, with Toxic 2 x Platinum…

Do we know where Work Bitch currently stands?

Just noticed that "Make Me" has now 70 million views on Youtube. It was stuck in the 60 million mark for a while

[Choley]

according to Billboard magazine, ...Baby one more time sold 700k copies in France while Oops I did it again 500k copies (2001)

Bomt must be around 800k and Oops must be around 600k and i remember Instinct posted about Britney album sold 500k there

[JeremySpears]

[Instinct]

Bomt must be around 800k and Oops must be around 600k and i remember Instinct posted about Britney album sold 500k there

The Britney album sold 250K+ copies in France by December 2001 (a month after its release, right before Overprotected release)


I'm not sure about the date but must be January or February 2002


300K+ by March 2002 (before I'm Not a Girl, Not Yet a Woman/Crossroads release)



400K by June 2002 (before Anticipating release)


Keep in mind, a special version was released this month (including a bonus DVD). The album re-entered the Top 40 and stayed there for a whole month (CR: 71-69-42-32-35-32-34).

And finally, Britney reached 500K in September 2002 (before Boys release).


It was still charting as of February 2003.

ChartMasters still has the album at 425K copies, however...

[Choley]

500k sales without mega hits like Bomt or Oops?That's what i call an album sales artist


Thank you for bringing hard to find facts also!

[Instinct]

You're welcome! Choley

I remember you posting a list of the Top 10 best selling international female singles of the 90s in France, I believe it was in the Janet thread.

1.Celine Dion - My Heart Will Go On - 1.2M
2.Cher - Believe - 764K
3.Janet Jackson - 700K
4.Brandy and Monica - The Boy Is Mine - 662K
5.Britney Spears - Baby One More Time - 600K
6.Des'ree - Life - 555K
7.Madonna - Frozen - 500K
8.Shania Twain - Man! I Feel Like a Woman - 455K
9.Madonna - Don't Cry For Me Argentina - 450K
10.Mariah Carey - Without You - 445K

BOMT had sold 650K physical copies by early 1999, while the album was only on 80K.



This later increased to 700K by the time (You Drive Me) Crazy came out, while Sometimes was on 200K. The album had reached 200K as well.



A few weeks later, it was confirmed that by the time the Time Out with Britney Spears DVD came out, BOMT (single) was at 800K, Sometimes at 200K, and (You Drive Me) Crazy at 150K (after only a few weeks). The album was still "only" at 200K, which makes sense as it only reached its peak of #4 in January 2000.



By September 2001, Britney had already sold 1.3 million albums and 2.5 million singles in France with only two eras.


ChartMasters has BOMT (single) at 620K in France including digital sales, though....
