Why are you so mad? These are SoundScan numbers. They don't lie.
Maybe he's higher on the RIAA site. But Britney is under certified.

Well Blackout was a bad era, no promotion,bad image, its not like it would've flopped if it was how she usually releases her album..
Im sure with the right promotion and since her image has greatly improved she can easily keep the title with a new album

Everyone knew Blackout was coming..that no promo excuse is sooo tired..
But yeah, if she did promo the right way it probably would've sold about 500k-900k more..thanks to the US.

Exactly with promo she would have easily broken at least 1x platinum,possibly 2x, and excuse me just cause everyone knew(and not really, maybe everyone who is like obsessed with music) doesnt mean they will buy her album, she had the worst image, and her bad press overshadowed her career, your excuse for my excuse is soo tired..
