Thanks to this Ask Billboard issue from last month, here are her most recent SS numbers:

SEEKING SPEARS' SALES

Hi Gary,

I've been trying to find up-to-date sales figures for Britney Spears' albums, and you're the only source I could find that might be able to help. Could you please provide sales data of her albums?

Thanks!

Mark Smith

Hi Mark,

Should Britney Spears' "Radar" debut on the Mainstream Top 40 radio airplay chart next week, which looks likely based on the format's building chart, Spears will take sole ownership of most entries on the tally this decade. She's currently tied with Nelly, each with 20 charted titles in that span.

As we wait to confirm that feat, here is a look at the hefty sales figures of Spears' charted albums on the Billboard 200, according to Nielsen SoundScan:

10,534,000, "...Baby One More Time," 1999 (No. 1, six weeks)
9,184,000, "Oops!...I Did It Again," 2000 (No. 1, one week)
4,336,000, "Britney," 2001 (No. 1, one week)
2,970,000, "In the Zone," 2003 (No. 1, one week)
1,575,000, "Circus," 2008 (No. 1, one week)
1,347,000, "Greatest Hits: My Prerogative," 2004 (No. 4)
967,000, "Blackout," 2007 (No. 2)
100,000, "B in the Mix: The Remixes," 2005 (No. 134)

[Wayne]

'Blackout' has been certified 2x Platinum in Australia

[Wayne]

According to "National Syndicate of Phonographic Publishing" (France):

Gold: 50,000
Platinum: 100,000
Diamond: 600,000

Circus in France:
101,220 (Physical) + 4,160 (Digital) = 105,380

105,380 = Platinum (100,000)

===

So far, these are the certifications of "Circus":

USA - Platinum (1,000,000)
UK - Platinum (300,000)
Japan - Gold (??)
Germany - Gold (100,000)
France - Platinum (100,000)
Canada - 3x Platinum (300,000)
Mexico - Gold (40,000)
Italy - Gold (35,000)
Australia - Platinum (70,000)
Brasil - Gold (30,000)
Russia - 2x Platinum (50,000)
Argentina - Gold (20,000)
Ireland - Platinum (15,000)
New Zealand - Platinum (15,000)
Belgium - Gold (10,000)
Swiss - Gold (10,000)
Poland - Gold (15,000)
Venezuela - Gold (5,000)

The 100 Best Pop Albums of the Noughties:

1. Kid A - Radiohead
2. Back to Black - Amy Winehouse
3. In Rainbows - Radiohead
4. Speakerboxxx/The Love Below - Outkast
5. Blackout - Britney Spears http://www.ukmix.org/forums/images/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif

"The title was pertinent enough — Spears had shaved her head and was in and out of rehab when this vocally scrunched, harshly metallic album appeared. No one expected it to be this good."

Okay, I've updated the first post of this topic with my new estimations for her singles and albums! Total of 109,750,000 records worldwide (not including DVD's/Home Videos)

[Wayne]

Britney Spears' 2008 smash "Womanizer" tops the 3 million mark. These is her best-selling hit, though Spears' early hits pre-dated the digital era.

[Wayne]

2009 French Report

Britney Spears was the 21st best selling artist of 2009 in France with a total of 367,2k records sold. She's the second best selling international female artist (only behind Lady Gaga).

[Pollei]

"...Baby One More Time" should have been certified 4x platinum in the UK.

[Wayne]

I have her UK shipments as thus:

BOMT - 1,250,000
OIDIA - 1,000,000
Britney - 525,000
ITZ - 550,000
GH : MP - 900,000
Blackout - 350,000
Circus - 400,000
TSC - 60,000

= 4,650,000+

She's over 74,000,000 albums worldwide - a phenomenal total

[Pollei]

She's over 74,000,000 albums worldwide - a phenomenal total

Can't believe that '3' kept Party In The USA off the top spot, yet PITU ended up selling over 4 million compared to 3 stalling below 2 million.

Spears' March 2011 release will be her first since 2008's "Circus," which has sold 1.7 million in the U.S. according to Nielsen SoundScan. The album debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 albums chart, marking her fifth chart-topping set. "Circus" also spawned five Billboard Hot 100 hit singles, including three top 20 hits: "Womanizer" (No. 1), the title track (No. 3) and "If U Seek Amy" (No. 19). The albums tracks have sold 8 million downloads in the U.S.

So updated sales for Circus are 1.7m copies. Should reach 2m in 30 years then :lol:

As per my Music Week magazine:


"Spears compilation, The Singles Collection, is also resurgent, its sales increasing 466.10% week-on-week to 3,561, enough for it to re-enter the album chart at 47. That's its highest chart placing since it debuted at number 38 in December 2009. Its career sales rise to 77,947"

As expected, the Glee episode helped, as did Britney's HIAM. For those interested, these are the Glee figures:

Glee - Toxic (7,614) I'm A Slave 4 U (3,008), Baby One More Time (2,776) Me Against The Music (2,534) Stronger (2,092)

:D

[HeatSeeker]

Wow, by what that article said it seems Hilary Duff is the highest-selling Disney pop star who started in the 00s, with 8.3 million albums sold. It's such a shame she's been gone from the music world for 4 years (disregarding that completely pointless greatest hits release).

[Wayne]

Yeah she was really something in her prime, much like Miley Cyrus was! :P
