I'm trying to figure out how much Greatest Hits: My Prerogative sold in its first week globally
US — 255,000
Japan — 173,145
UK — 115,341
Canada — 20,400
Ireland — 5,430
In Taiwan, Britney achieved a 22.57% market share of album sales, the best start for an album since 2002 and the biggest start for compilation album in the country (as of 2004).

Does anyone know the album's peak in France? i found this chart run as of December 2004, but that gotta be the compilation chart, right? Were compilation albums not allowed on the main chart?
France : #1 ;#3 ;#5 ;#7 ;#12 (179,395)

Quite impressive considering it "only" debuted with 255K in the US.

Probably must not have gotten a proper release there, and must've been part of an instant gratification offer for the album.

Conservatorship fault.

Still “I Wanna Go” peaking at #111 was very weird considering after that “Work Bitch” peaked at #7 and the terrible “Pretty Girls” made the Top 20 at #16.
Even piece cr*p “Ooh La La” made the chart and peaked at #72.
I think they were not releasing her singles properly in the UK during FF era. I do remember they messed up TTWE big time with a mid-week release when back in the day release date was a very important thing in UK.
Labels used to hold single releases in UK for weeks. Labels would release singles everywhere and UK would be the last place where they would release the song like a month and a half later. In 2011 this practice was still key and artists of the time (Gaga, Rihanna, Kesha, Kitty, J.Lo, etc) were treating their singles that way in the UK. For some strange reason Jive ignored this “key” hold with FF singles and neither “Hold It Against Me” or “Till The World Ends” received this treatment.
They resume the strategy with “Work Bitch” and it was an automatic Top 10 by the time it got released.Rock lives forever: Led Zeppelin . Metallica . Pink Floyd . Nirvana . Radiohead . Pearl Jam . Oasis . Iron Maiden . Nine Inch Nails
Approved Popstars: Michael Jackson . Madonna . Britney Spears . Beyoncé . Rihanna

For that reason they didn’t give a d*mn about the messed up singles releases in the UK or even booking one of the bussiest weeks of the year in UK with bunch of competition to release the album (“Femme Fatale” debuted at #8 with higher sales than some albums that went #1 on the chart on prior months).
But they only cared about the USA and they got her a #1 album and single there. That’s all that mattered to them.Rock lives forever: Led Zeppelin . Metallica . Pink Floyd . Nirvana . Radiohead . Pearl Jam . Oasis . Iron Maiden . Nine Inch Nails

The views for the "Toxic" auto generated audio on Youtube are so impressive that I was looking for numbers from female hits from the 2000s decade and:- Britney Spears - Toxic - 100 million
- Nelly Furtado - Promiscuous - 77 million
- Shakira - Hips Don't Lie - 70 million
- Lady Gaga - Bad Romance - 64 million
- Beyoncé - Halo - 61 million
- Britney Spears - Oops!...I Did It Again - 59 million
- Rihanna - Umbrella - 58 million
- Britney Spears - Gimme More - 51 million
- Rihanna - Don't Stop the Music - 51 million
- Avril Lavigne - Complicated - 47 million
Others:
Nelly Furtado - Maneater - 44 million
Britney Spears - Womanizer - 43 million
Beyoncé - Crazy in Love - 43 million
Rihanna - Disturbia - 35 million
Shakira - Whenever, Wherever - 35 million
Madonna - Hung Up - 34 million
Britney Spears - Circus - 32 million
Nelly Furtado - Say It Right - 32 million
Rihanna - Pon de Replay - 31 million
Katy Perry - I Kissed a Girl - 28 million
I'm sure it's missing a few songs but it was what I remember. Maybe I searched the wrong way but I couldn't find numbers for Love Story and You Belong With Me that weren't from the "Taylor's Version" released last year.
