I am talking about the Hot 100. The biggest chart at that time with reliable data
Genie don't make the top ten list because it was released in June. 5 months of chart.
Waiting for the receipts for the 10 million singles, the number 1's. Not here for Wikipedia en UWC.

I never mentioned UWC.
At year end, it charted higher in 1999 despite being released in 1998. Wiki has sourced charts for Europe, Australia, etc and show BOMT's epic charting compared to Genie's. Go look for yourself and check sources there if you still thinking GIAB charted better.
BOMT is the
28th best selling song ever in the UK, GIAB isn't listed in the Top 100 so it's release mid-1999 can't be a factor there!
BBC reported 9M+ WW sales in Feb 2007, then sources like
this one aren't likely to be too far off in 2012 with two greatest hits releases since her comeback. Even if it hasn't crossed the 10M, it's still over 2M ahead of GIAB in sales. Got a source for GIAB's 7M?
Just stop - you'd have to be deluded to think GIAB was bigger than BOMT (and LOL at you or whoever reported me for showing some BOMT facts above, I enjoyed the reminder with no explanation).
