"Break the ice" must be around 800,000 units in USA right now, and its certainly eligible for a Platinum certification including streaming.

And yep, at least we got something with +1m sales in US from the "Britney Jean" era. It wasn't the album, but at least the song ("Work Bitch") surpassed the 1m mark in hard / pure sales there.

Britney Spears to Perform Medley of Greatest Hits at BBMAs

Have you heard the news? Britney Spears will receive this year’s Millennium Award and perform a medley of her greatest hits at the 2016 Billboard Music Awards!

The Billboard Millennium Award recognizes outstanding career achievements and influence in the music industry. Past Billboard Millennium Award recipients include Beyoncé in 2011 and Whitney Houston in 2012.

This year’s show, which will be hosted by hip-hop artist Ludacris and international music sensation Ciara, will showcase big performances, unexpected collaborations and much-discussed pop culture moments. Britney joins previously announced performers Justin Bieber, DNCE, The Go-Go’s, Shawn Mendes, P!nk and collaborations with Nick Jonas, Tove Lo and Demi Lovato.

Multi-platinum, Grammy Award-winning pop icon Britney Spears is one of the most successful and celebrated entertainers in pop history with nearly 100 million records worldwide. In the U.S. alone, she has sold more than 70 million albums, singles and songs, according to Nielsen Music.


Born in Mississippi and raised in Louisiana, Spears became a household name as a teenager when she released her first single “…Baby One More Time,” a Billboard Hot 100 No. 1 smash and international hit that broke sales records with more than 27 million copies sold worldwide and is currently 14x Platinum in the U.S. Her musical career boasts countless awards and accolades, including six Billboard Music Awards, an American Music Award and the 2011 MTV Video Vanguard Award.

So far, Britney has earned a total of six No.1 debuting albums on the Billboard 200 chart and 24 Top 40 hit singles on the Billboard Hot 100 – five of which went to No. 1. Spears has been nominated for eight Grammy Awards and won for Best Dance Recording in 2005. Her cutting-edge pop concert Las Vegas residency, “Britney: Piece of Me,” at Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino has been voted “Best Show in Las Vegas” and “Best Bachelorette Show in Las Vegas.” She also has been creating fragrances for over ten years, and recently added two new fragrances giving her a total of 15 fragrances available in 87 countries around the world.

^ Go Britney

Also a new era is about to start

27m for BOMT? No way the single sold that much

[Biebz]

27m for BOMT? No way the single sold that much

They mean the album

[Instinct]

I wonder which songs will get the biggest boost on iTunes when she performs. Toxic will probably enter the top 200

[Wayne]

They are clearly referring to the album though.

[MyDecember]

I'm excited to see the effect the segment has on her back catalogue. I hope to god she does not include Pretty Girls. Baby, Slave, Toxic, Piece of Me, Womanizer, Till the World Ends, Work Bitch seem the most obvious to include.

The Singles Collection will doubt shoot up iTunes though I hope the Playlist album doesnt.

[MrLeonix]

The Singles Collection will doubt shoot up iTunes though I hope the Playlist album doesnt.

"Greatest hits: My Prerogative" is her top catalog selling album in the US. If any album has an effect that one will have the biggest.

However, I think some fans are overestimating the power of the BBMA, I mean the effect won't be that big as some think, its not Superbowl. The performance will have a better effect mostly on her new single (if its included on the medley) and its just a promotional tool for both, her image and her upcoming era, thats all, Don't expect all of her past songs and albums rising the charts or anything.

[p0isonparadise]

I expect GHMP or TSC to enter the top 30 on iTunes after her performance, or even top 10 if RCA are smart and discount them.

[joiPrince_JO]

The Billboard Awards never score more than 8 million viewers, so don't expect too much.

[Instinct]

They should discount GH:MP after her performance. it'd do wonders. I know the BBMAs aren't that big but it re-entered the top 30 on iTunes earlier this year without a word from Britney.

^ Cool. As I posted on the other thread. I estimate the show is breaking the $90m mark around September and could hit the $100m gross in either December or January.

[Wayne]

Those numbers are so much better!

[MyDecember]

Maybe they'll you know finally update all her records with correct certifications. Seriously why is it so difficult to do?

RCA is probably to cheap to spend any money on that.

[Westen]

It's because current label doesn't care about records that were released before in different label.

[joiPrince_JO]

It's because current label doesn't care about records that were released before in different label.

Well, but she is their artist now so they should care about her achievements.

[MyDecember]

If they have the power to make her recent efforts (Circus, Femme Fatale, her singles) multi-platinum they really should..

[Instinct]

RCA is probably the worst label when it comes to certifications. Even Epic is better at it. They should at least certify Work Bitch, Pretty Girls, Perfume (if eligible), and Britney Jean.

Here are my estimations of what her single certifications should look like. For every song, I'm assuming 35% of its streams come from the United States (this is based off what Billboard reported about Work Bitch's streams back in 2013). Only VEVO and Spotify are being counted so this is not the end of it. Many could be higher.
