For comparison purposes, Call Me Maybe, Tik Tok, Poker Face, Roar, We Found Love and Love The Way You Lie all sold around 15 million worldwide give or take a couple of millions. And ...Baby One More Time outsold Without You + Like A Prayer + Wannabe pretty much everywhere (except the US, France and Japan for Wannabe). Out of that list, only I Will Always Love You, My Heart Will Go On and Believe are bigger.

Wow, this is a drag. Discrediting Britney's career is pretty bold, but discrediting BOMT is even bolder

Physical single sales were peaking at the time & comparable to 2012 digital sales.

Ok well they died off very quickly thereafter..... But anyway, my point is, the single already sold more than most songs in the 90's anyway, but then to have the parent album sell 30 million as well is insane 
The part about 2012 digital singles is false though. The biggest hits back then still sold around the same amount as big hits in the digital age but people were mainly buying albums..

The irony when you pretend to stan K-Pop now  It's the most influential Western song there bar, maybe, "Fantasy (O.D.B. Remix)."
Obviously it isn't the biggest song of all-time. But if you were born in the early 90s, it's quite possibly the biggest song you've ever experienced.

There were 2.3B single sales in 2012.
There were 438.8M single sales in 1999 and 376M singles in 2000.
I can't tell if you're genuinely stupid or if you believe your own lie but either way, you aren't welcome here

1997 - 516
1998 - 458
1999 - 439
2000 - 370
2001 - 318
2002 - 265
2003 - 233
2004 - 346 (digital era)
2005 - 456
2006 - 796
2007 - 1.157
2008 - 1.671
2009 - 1.872
2010 - 1.943
2011 - 2.136
2012 - 2.297
439 million physical singles sold in 1999 is comparable to 2.3 billion digital singles sold in 2012? Little Monsters their math skills continue to amuse me Oh, and fyi, physical single sales peaked in 1984 when Britney was a three year old child. Why are you always lying.
OT: 3 is such a bop! I'm glad it's high up there.

Overall single sales were huge in the digital era because there were catalog sales, which were marginal for single sales in the physical era. In the U.S., according to Nielsen, 55% of 2012's 1.336 billion digital tracks sold were for catalog titles. You can also buy album tracks in the digital era.
So, yeah, a song like BOMT wouldn't have sold over 20 million copies in the digital era.
OT: Good #1. Not her best, though. It's not a Brit's biggest hits list...just a Brit's best chart-runs list. No need to fight over this.

That's the point.
The Monster Multiplier Method™ takes an album's total sales and multiplies it by the peak number of albums sold in a year before dividing it by the number of albums sold in its respective release year.
ATRL user Evolution subscribes to this school of thought.
Anticipating was just dragging her attempt at discrediting ...BOMT by showing that using her method, it would be the equivalent of a 30M+ selling single.
