It's currently at the number of surrogates Bey went through before Mama Tina decided to carry mini-Béast herself.

1) "Piece of me" was the biggest hit of "Blackout" everywhere, including the US, "POM" is nearly 2x platinum in US, peaked at #2 in UK and its the highest "Blackout" selling single WW.
2) Blackout was certified 2x Platinum in Australia, and 3x Platinum in Russia, so that thing you say about "Balckout" not being certified higher than platinum everywhere is false.
3) "Britney" sold 11million copies WW ,and its one of the 50 best selling albums of the decade.  , 5M in US, certified 2x platinum by IFPI for more than 2M in Europe, plus multi-platinum in Canada, latin america, asia and Oceania.
4) Femme fatale has sold actually 12M records WW (albums + singles sales) |
Nope. Blackout was certified platinum in australia - http://www.aria.com.au/pages/httpwww...2008Albums.htm
I can't find any information about Russia. Care to link me?
Piece of me peaked at number 18 in the US. It may have gone on to be nearly 2 x platinum but it didn't even crack the top ten.
Please link me to the data for Britney, because I added up all the certifications here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Britney...Certifications with the US and Europe sales as well as the available certifications, sales or shipments and it doesn't get near 9,000,000 nevermind 11 million.
And who cares about the combined album and single sales if Femme Fatale didn't even sell more than 3million?

If you're nice Beyonce will tell all her surrogates to buy Femme Fatale. Maybe then it'll manage to go platinum and Britney won't be forced to become a washed-up Vegas hotel act

How about no.
Gimme More was the only successful single from the album, and has only been certified platinum in the US and sold barely anything WW. Piece of Me flopped in the US and many other countries as well. Blackout was only certified platinum in the US and wasn't certified higher than platinum anywhere else. That, for 2007, is embarrassing.
Where did you get this 2,500,000 figure from? IF you add up all the available sales then it comes to 1,335,500, with 1,000,000 of that coming from the US. TTWE and IWG were local, TTWE only 2 times platinum in the US and IWG not certified anything.
Britney sold 5,000,000 in the US at a time when she was at her 'peak' and the worldwide sales come to about 7,000,000, so how did this sell more than some people's careers combined? It sold less than Born This Way in 2001, when the sales climate was a lot more album based and only went number one in 4 countries.
I'm a Slave 4 U is not a classic and never will be. It had mixed reviews from critics, didn't go number one in a single country and according to the certifications it has only sold ~190,000 copies. Overprotected also didn't go number one anywhere and sold barely anything, INOGNYAW went number one in Japan only and its only certification is gold in Australia, Boys only even slightly broke the top 10 in the UK, Belgium and Ireland. Not to mention Britney didn't get good reviews either. The whole era was a disaster.

OMG, you have NO idea what you are talking about. 
First of all, Gimme More was a worldwide hit reaching the top 10 in 17 countries and Piece Of Me still went platinum in the US with no radio support and reached the top 10 in 12 countries, hardly some huge flop. And yes naturally Blackout wasn't slaying on the charts considering the state she was in when she released it and did absolutely no promo for it whatsoever,.
And Britney sold 7 Million worldwide?!? Where the **** are you getting your stats?
It sold 11 Million and was the 4th best selling album released in 2001 worldwide. The era was FAR from a disaster, and Slave, INAGNYAW and Overprotected were all WORLDWIDE hits. At you acting like it was some Bionic level flop, find a seat.
TTWE was local? Is that why it reached the top 10 in over 20 countries? 
And IWG isn't certified because her label doesn't certify her singles FOOL, Toxic for example is nearly 2x Platinum and only certified GOLD.
The stupidity is too much to handle.

Who cares if people lost interest she has already made her mark. She has saved so many confused queens like myself lives way before Gaga tired too. She is up there with the legends now.

LMAO. "Piece of Me" flopped in the US but has sold more copies than "Gimme More" both here and worldwide? It flopped in "many other countries" yet went top ten in 12 countries, six of them top five and has Platinum certifications, plus made impressive markings on some global year-end charts in 2008, despite only being released in November that year? Not to mention it was met with critical acclaim. The only reason it didn't hit the top 10 of Billboard was because radio held back on spinning it, which since she was at the height of her meltdown was reasonable.
"TTWE" isn't only 2x Platinum, it has sold ~2.8 million, which is more than most of Gaga's singles bar her only real success "JD", "PF" and "Bad Romance".
I don't know or want to know how you came up 7 million for Britney, it has been cited to have sold 11 million copies by many credible publications.
Britney era still produced several worldwide top ten singles, regardless of the couple countries you plucked out. The sales, tour and impact of that era were still strong, disaster it was not.
Death at selling less than Born This Way, when that has hardly scanned 6 million worldwide, backed by the frontloaded 2 million in its first week. That's a real disaster of an era, sweetheart.

Sorry, 'sweetheart', but compare the certifications and charts of born this way to the certifications and charts of Britney.
Let me help you out:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Born_Th...Certifications
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Born_Th...(album)#Charts
It was also top 10 on a lot of year end charts worldwide.
And I didn't pluck out countries for the Britney era singles, I simply listed ALL the countries where the lead single went number one (aka none), and ALL the countries where the other singles went top 10 (not many) and ALL the certifications. Go look for yourself.
BR is diamond in the US and not local, Telephone is 3 x platinum in the US and not local, Alejandro is 2 x platinum in the US and not local, even YOU AND I is 2 x platinum in the US . Paparazzi is 3 x platinum in the US and not local, and LoveGame is 2 x platinum in the US and not local.
You really tried it with 'TTWE', tho. #21 in the UK, #27 in Germany (two biggest markets in Europe), #52 in Japan
