Make me was actually a pretty decent hit for her, maybe not internationally but certainly in the USA! 1 million units sold platinum top 20 and sold over 2 million worldwide, and if there had been a better music video we would probably be looking at even better numbers

I'm so glad that "Pretty Girls" is so stalled on Spotify and descending progressively while other songs are gaining more . . . . . . I remember when that piece of cr*p was among her top 10 most streamed songs on Spotify (like back in 2016 or 2017) and I hated that.
from #9 to #14 now . . . and I'm sure it will keep falling more (hopefully out of Top 20 eventually).

it’s really annoying billboard don’t count all her albums sold through BMG club etc, as chart masters has her USA album sales at 39 million! I reckon she will pass 40 million in pure sales eventually!
Also I generally have no idea how many singles she has sold in the USA as once again RIAA have or her team have not updated any of her certifications, and massive hits like womanizer remain uncertified, yet me know for a fact she sold 3.6 million copies pure!
So I presume she is around 40 million pure singles and 39 million pure album sales in the USA, a total of 79 million record sales

New tickets added to Glasgow and Manchester dates! Dublin, Oslo, Berlin, Sandviken are sold out. Just a few tickets for Scarborough, Monchen still selling very well, Antwerp still slowly, 107 tickets to the 1st date and 300 tickets to 2nd date in Paris, London dates doing fine, Birmingham is the worse date and I don't know nothing about Blackpool, hoping for 15k!

Her most relevant album
Considering its a very old Pop album and its not a trap / latin / hip hop / rap record which is streaming dominant genres and audience it has done quite well. I think the journey to 400million will be faster now that the streaming industry only becomes bigger and that she has a new tour coming up.

Interesting analogy @Instinct.
For me its quite different tho. Britney's first 6 albums' pattern reminds me a bit of Madonna's 6 first albums pattern, while her late 3 albums' pattern reminds me of Janet's 2001-2006's pattern.
I'll explain:
Britney's first 3 albums meant her more commercial, friendly, bubblegum pop period with atonishing success, pop culture, global dominance which is what Madonna's first 3 albums meant to her, even though Madonna's process was quite different as she was growing each time with each of her first 3 albums, the trilogy were pretty much the blockbuster period for both of them with each scoring two +20million selling albums and one 10million album and super pop catchy classic singles such as "Like a Virgin", "Lucky Star", "Borderline", "Material Girl" or "Papa Don't preach" for Madonna's case, and "Baby one more time", "Sometimes", "(You drive me) Crazy", "Oops I did it again" or "I'm a Slave 4 U" for Britney.
The 4th album meant a musical change for both of them offering more mature albums that differed a lot from their first 3 albums, They were still huge successful eras but with less sales than their previous three albums, yet both scoring perhaps their respective more acclaimed and respected hit singles ("Like a Prayer" and "Toxic"). Both albums would be followed by their respective compilations "The Inmaculate Collection" and "Greatest Hits: My Prerogative".
The 5th album meant a decline for both of them filled with controversy and raunchy eras ("Erotica" and "Blackout") both albums' performances would be seen as subpar at the time and were outshadowed by tabloids yet would gain cult following years later.
The 6th album was a comeback for both of them with softer / damage control eras such as "Bedtimes Stories" and "Circus" after the previous public backlash they had faced. Madonna had her first #1 US hit in years with "Take a Bow" and Britney got her first #1 hit in 10 years with "Womanizer". Both eras played it safer than their raunchy and wilder previous ones.
-----
Up until that point she had a similar pattern to Madonna but instead following "Ray of light" footsteps for album #7, she instead did a weird bizarre jump straight to Janet's "All For You".
"Femme Fatale" was her "All for you" (the dance, sexual album that yielded hit singles), "Britney Jean" was her "Damita Jo" (the first lukewarm failed project after many years of success) and "Glory" was her "20 Y.O" (her continuing the failing trend album).

Originally posted by WayneI find it amazing that the album sold so little worldwide, considering how much people focus on her supposed longevity.
If you look at her sales since 2003, she's been on a steady decline, aside from Circus - which was really a return to form and a major success looking back.
Some of it will be due to general music industry decline, and change in consumption but you can really see a marked decline in performance.
I'm probably gonna get called dragged for making this comparison, but her career trajectory reminds me a bit of Mariah's in a way. Obviously, Mariah is more successful and all, but there are some similarities for sure.
Mariah dominated the 1990s (along with Celine Dion)
Britney dominated the 2000s (along with Eminem)
Then Mariah faced a major flop 11 years into her career (Glitter), just like Britney did 15 years into her career (Britney Jean). Those two albums are very similar in terms of commercial performance (ie: both were their first major flops, both spawned one moderate hit, both are around 1-2 million album equivalents, etc)
The biggest difference is that Mariah had her comeback 15 years into her career, while Britney had hers 10 years into her career. Why? Because Mariah flopped before Britney did. After their respective comebacks, they both scored another #1 album that spawned one #1 hit (Femme Fatale and E=MC2). Those two albums did similar numbers (E=MC2 sold more in terms of pure sales but Femme Fatale did better in terms of album equivalents).
But Mariah comparison aside, I don't think she's doing THAT badly. I think it's very telling that she's still able to sell out large arenas and parks around the world even without any major hits. Glory is far from being the biggest flop era in recent years and like you said, there are people doing far worse than her.
It's not all over for her...
-In 2013-2017, she grossed $137 million in Vegas with the fourth highest-grossing residency show of all time
-In 2016, she was awarded the Millennium Award at the Billboard Music Awards
-In 2016, she scored her 20th Top 20 hit in the US with "Make Me..."
-In 2016, her 9th studio album "Glory" went #1 in 5 countries including Italy where it became her first #1 album
-In 2016, her 9th studio album debuted with 111,000 units in the US, which is a very respectable number in this day and age
-In 2017, she performed at arenas/parks/stadiums in Japan, Thailand, Hong Kong, Israel, South Korea, Taiwan, Singapore & the Philippines
-In 2017, she performed for the biggest crowd of her career in Tel Aviv (55,000+ attendance)
-In 2018, she broke record for the highest-grossing single concert in a residency ever in Las Vegas
-In 2018, her latest lead single ("Make Me...") became a Platinum certified hit in the US
-In 2018, she's selling out arena/park shows in the UK, Germany, France, Norway, Belgium, Sweden, Denmark and Ireland (+ smaller venues in the US)
-In 2018, Forbes reported the US leg of her tour has the most expensive ticket prices this summer, along with BTS
There's a reason why she always makes Forbes despite not setting the charts on fire. She's still a very profitable and marketable star 20 years into her career.

As of February 2018
Since then, we know Glory is closer to 155,000 in the US rather than 150,000, so that's another 5,000 pure sales (380,000 in total).
Streaming numbers as of June 29, 2018:
Spotify - 247,471,446
YouTube - 111,634,960 (Make Me) + 80,691,343 (Slumber Party) = 192,326,303
Audio Stream – 1500 plays equal 1 album unit
Video Stream – 11,750 views equal 1 album unit
Equivalent Albums Sales (EAS) = 272/157 * Spotify streams / 1500 + YouTube views / 11750
Pure Album Sales - 380,000
Streaming Sales - 302,000
Track Sales - 123,000
Total - 805,000
MJD actually underestimated Glory's single sales in the US by over 100k so I'm not even including that.
(And yes, I'm aware this is not an official number before someone has a meltdown)
One more single like Change Your Mind and that would be nearly 1 million SPS.

Originally posted by WayneI find your inclusion of George Michael to be interesting - why him? Hadn't really thought of him as a comparable artist but I suppose he was an equivalent to Britney prior to his artistic growth with the Faith record.
I have studied a lot of artists and the more I study them the more I appreciate Britney's trajectory.

Yeah @Instinct I think "Glory" is over 800K CPSC WW units by now.
And yeah Britney had a decline in sales but she was able to maintained her success with her first two albums (back to back Diamond albums) and then she rebounded with "Circus" in 2008 (and that was actually her 6th album). "Femme Fatale" scored hit singles and now thanks to the SPS system inclusion its units have increased even more as the album's equivalents units go.
Declining didn't mean she was not having success tho, IMO Britney never really flopped up until "Britney Jean" in 2013 and that was after having released 7 studio albums that yielded hit singles since 1998 (so yeah , her longevity is not "supposed", its real).
Other artists such as Alicia Keys, George Michael, Lady Gaga, Avril Lavigne, Justin Timberlake (since 2nd album), etc had worse non-stop declines with each album than Britney's (without an actual rebounding record like "Circus") and I don't see anyone saying something about it. So it's always been fascinating to me how many people (even MJDangerous) always seem to have something to say about the sales decline Britney had.
