It went to #1 on radio though. But again, the album sold a lot of copies in the first week, released only a month after the single, and went on to become her second Diamond album. THAT'S VERY GOOD.  LOL. |
You're right. OIDIA sold over 1.3 million copies first week though.
And OIDIA, the single, didn't go to #1 because it didn't have a physical single released. BOMT, for example, only hit #1 because of that. 'Crazy' was a bigger (overall) airplay hit than BOMT and yet only peaked at #10 on the Hot 100, once again because it didn't have a physical single.
The fact that Jive didn't release physical singles in the US back then was a smart move though - Britney didn't get better single peaks, but got huge album sales. If I were to choose between other two or three Hot 100 #1s and a Diamond album, I'd do the same Jive did.
