Stop talking in the present tense sis, Britney's 10 million days were a loooong time ago in a very different sales climate.. Britney these days can barely sell 1/5 of what Taylor sells so take a seat

Welcome to 2014 sis, you're a little late.

The utter lack of common sense, I can't deal.

Barely 1/5? Sis I don't think BJ's total sales are even 1/6 of 1989's opening

Never in my life would I think to see 4 million sales being bad.

Jesus some members need to pop a couple pills and chill.

Taylor is already going to be the reference point and high mark for this year's releases. Taylor has done that before in 2008 and 2012. 1989 is going to be the best selling album released in 2014 by a massive margin. Taylor's album is dominating all other albums released this year.

Britney Spears came nowhere close to dominating in 2000. Britney had the 4th highest opening week once in 2000. Oops I Did It Again was no 1 on Billboard 200 for only 1 week, compared to N'Sync being no 1 for a whopping 8 weeks and Eminem being no 1 for 8 weeks. Even the Beatles were no 1 for 3 weeks during that year. Nelly was no 1 for 5 weeks. Even Now 4 was no 1 for 3 times as long as Britney Spears in 2000.

N'Sync is the reference point for sales in the Year 2000. Oops I Did It Again is the reference point for 4th highest opening album in Year 2000. She was like the Eric Church of that Year. Finishing 4th once is hardly comparable with finishing 1st in 2014.

The only artist who can sell 10 million copies now is Adele, who just passed 11 million a couple of weeks ago with 21.

Swift is one of less than a handful of artist who can sell four million copies of a CD/Album in this current sales climate. The [I]Frozen[I] soundtrack, currently at 3.7 million, is the only CD/Album except for Swift's releases with a chance to go quadruple platinum.

Jason Aldean's My Kinda Party and Katy Perry's Teenage Dream are just under or just over triple platinum status with their releases from 2010-2011, and Eminem's Recovery from 2010-2011 hit triple platinum.

I think some Christmas releases hit high numbers, and maybe Susan Boyle, but that may have been before 2010. Anyway, four million/quadruple-platinum is exceptional these days (unless you are Adele, for whom it would be a huge disappointment).

.

Now we pray.

No
although she sold around 1.3 million in 2013
billboard year is nov to nov

Taylor will definitely come 2nd behind frozen for soundscan

This . A catalog album seller used to reach 6-10k per week now is barely at 3k.

If 1989 reaches 3M in US it will be a huge success

This era started in November and stopped in January .

I don't stan for her, but I'm always excited to see records be broken and set again. I'm ready for the #'s to come

Why is it that Britney stans that don't even frequent the base come in these kind of threads to embarrass the classy Army members?
Le sigh. My goodness...

This.

Lord Christ, you cannot be that dumb to compare both sales, 2000 =/= 2014, back in the day many acts could get those numbers, right now if you reach platinum you are like a God, so I don't know what you're trying to get out of all of this, gather people to drag Britney down? Cuz you really are excelling at it, girl

Oh God some people need help.

Some of the comments

Go, leave in your delusion

I know really.

Sis, now while I do agree the post was stupid, you know not every act could get those numbers. If I remember correctly, wasn't it only 5?

There were dozens and dozens of platinum albums in the late 90s and ealry 00. This year we will have Taylor, maybe 1D and who else ?
