Well, I think the singles success is attainable. Britney might be able to score another 3X Platinum hit with her lead single and 2 more 2X Platinum hits with the following 2 singles after it. As far as the album is concerned, I think at most it will match Circus' 1.7M in the US, which would put it at around the same sales as TTAL currently. But this is all hypothetical, and more realistically, I don't really see that happening.

I don't see it
But Bey has a better shot at it than Britney
Imagine if they can't even beat a so called "B lister" .
What does that make them?

Let's not forget that P!nk's era is not over. She still has a chance to bag in 2 more top 10 singles, and I can see TTAL reaching 6 million copies sold when all is done. So neither.

I was simply responding to the OPs question and @Beyinfamous post, To say that people forgot about Britney when Beyonce hasnt even had a hit song in 5 years is delusional.  |

So what? the OP asked if any of the girls could have an era similar to Pinks TTAL era. Basically the answer is no since Britney cant sell albums and Beyonce cant get a hit song to save her life.
But you said that people forgot about Britney which is funny considering radio doesnt use Beyonce anymore and Britney stays getting played year after year.

FF was certified platinum by RIAA even before 4 was.

While Britney Spears' seventh album, the chart-topping Femme Fatale, was released in March 2011, she spent the latter half of the year earning most of her millions. The Live Nation-sponsored Femme Fatale tour, her first concert endeavor in nearly two years, kicked off stateside in June, with Nicki Minaj in tow for North American dates. The elaborately staged trek wrapped six months later, after visiting four continents for nearly 80 shows and culminating with revenue of $21.7 million. While Spears earned $7.3 million for her half-year on the road, her 2011 album sales of 883,000 were fueled by three Femme Fatale singles, including the No. 1 "Hold It Against Me."

Pop icon Britney Spears is continuing her recent streak of success, as her 7th studio album ‘Femme Fatale’ was certified platinum today by the RIAA. The album, which was released March 29th, debuted at #1 on the Billboard 200, becoming her 6th #1 album and has since shipped 1 million copies to retailers in the US.
This news definitely comes with a sigh of relief, as many fans were considered with the fate of Spears’ latest album. With minimal promotion, lackluster live performances, and with her use of a body double in her latest music videos, many, including myself were worried that the negative press would overshadow what is, what many believe, her best album yet.
With the pop superstar’s U.S. album certifications now reaching 32 million, her first single ‘Hold It Against Me’ shattering airplay records and becoming her 4th #1 hit, as well as her latest single ‘Till The World Ends’ reaching Top 5 on the Hot 100, it looks like Britney’s music, is indeed, overshadowing her controversy.

Maybe
IASF was close to that. In Britney's case not likely, but not impossible either.

Which means 1 million copies were shipped not sold.
