Highest position since April 2022

Wait but it always has been on streaming platforms, right?

Whitney's debut album and five of her songs have received new certifications from the RIAA! This brings her 'Whitney Houston' album up to 14x Platinum, tying with Britney Spears and Meat Loaf for biggest-selling debut album by a solo artist in the U.S.

So, Whitney's debut just tied BOMT in the US. If Britney had a competent label and/or team, she'd make history by having the first 15x Platinum debut album ever.

I always find it weird that not a girl is doing pretty bad in Spotify but doing very well in YouTube

CANADIAN HOT 100:

No risk of going recurrent and still Top 20. We love to see it!

By far her best performing song on the Canadian Hot 100 in its 21st week:

Hold Me Closer: #17
Scream & Shout: #25
Piece of Me: #25
Womanizer: #30
Till the World Ends: #31
Circus: #41
Gimme More: #41
If U Seek Amy: #45

I’m guessing hold me closer went recurrent this week on billboard?

[Instinct]

Gimme More has officially outstreamed Womanizer on Spotify and it is now Britney's 5th biggest song

[And then we kiss]

Actually her stuff from blackout and circus wasn’t that big here, gimme did fine, womanizer was huge but her other stuff from those albums was known just for her fanbase…
on the other hand the FF singles were huge, on the level of S&S they have to be at least platinum
Pretty sure she has some stuff pre-2007 that eligible as well…

[Instinct]

Congrats for another certification for HMC!
love all the certifications updates lately…
for the upcoming certifications in Italy it seems like sometimes is somewhere near gold since it’s doing amazingly the same as oops/gimme which were also also certified… other that that maybe an update to platinum for baby/oops
when will they gonna certify her stuff in my country
France used to Stan hard for her

I can't believe none of the Blackout, Circus, or Femme Fatale singles are certified in France. She's due for a big update for sure.

I predict Hold Me Closer will reach Gold there within a few weeks.

Also do we think Britney will be getting any more certifications in Italy anytime soon? I’m hoping for Femme Fatale and maybe Circus or The Singles Collection.

Circus is a little doubtful since it was released a year before FIMI started monitoring the Italian market. But it's definitely eligible for Gold having sold 40K in 2008 alone when the criteria was 35K. If I'm not wrong, all Italian certifications are based on units from 2009 onwards.
