Right. Stores bought them. I don't know why he's using Britney as the ultimate example, when the same goes for both of his faves.

Gold and platinum certifications for both "4" and "Femme Fatale" were bought on the same day. "F.A.M.E." and "Talk That Talk" were both certified before reaching the milestones as well. They would have bought platinum certifications for them had they shipped 1 million at the time.
