Circus has moved around 400K over the past year while TTWE has done around 300K, so they should get there in a few months.

Two 5x Platinum songs from one album (Circus).

I cannot believe Boys, Pretty Girls and a Toxic remix are outstreaming Make Me and Slumber Party

Great numbers for her entire Top 20.

Boys is a pretty hot song though

Imagine RCA certificate “Perfume” with Gold one day but never doing multiple certification for “Circus” and “Till the World Ends”. I wouldn‘t be surprised.

Do you have a list of all the new figures we have for her singles?

[MrLeonix]

Great numbers for her entire Top 20.

I think “Make Me” has officially overtaken both “Me Against The Music” and “Hold It Against Me” as her most forgotten lead single of her career by now (even “Slumber Party” is outatreaming it now).

I still think MATM and HIAM streams are more pathetic considering the former was released during her prime and “golden years” even featuring Madonna and the second one was a #1 hit on the Hot 100 chart. At least “Make Me” never broke boundaries, flopped in most markets, had a non-eventful music video and it came from a flop album so low streams were expected in the long run. MATM and HIAM instead have less of an excuse to be so forgotten like that.

Yep pretty much. But at least Hold It Against Me is well liked by her fan base and Me Against the Music has cult classic status among a certain demographic, mainly because it was a Madonna collab.

There's also the fact both of those songs have been overshadowed by bigger hits from their respective albums (TTWE and Toxic) while Glory is just all around forgotten.

Great numbers, thank you!

Any idea about Do Somethin'?It must be around 400k units in the US.

Still waiting on that one. 409,000 pure sales as of 2021. Streaming numbers must be really low (21M on Spotify) but maybe a bit closer to 500K.

Almost all of her singles are close to Gold then.
