So since PRISM's adjusted total (TEA/SEA) is over 10 million units, I wonder how much Teenage Dream did. Probably even more tbh.

Well if we assume that since:
- the album has sold 6.5M+ (I'd say close to 6.6-6.7 though since it has sold 300k in the US alone since Aug 2013 )
- the singles, at a moderate estimate, are 55M
- the era (incl most videos) is around 3B
- Spotify streams are over 600M (I think I calculated it ages ago but can't find it and cbs calculating again)
...14-15M (TEA/SEA) is a fair guesstimate

Dark Horse tops 300M streams on Spotify


it's only the 3rd song by a female to achieve that

PRISM goes DIAMOND in Brazil



Teenage Dream is close too

YASSS! Queen of Brazil



That's not surprising as since Roar and Dark Horse were HUGE hits, it was played everywhere and brazilian people love her



I helped her to get a Diamond certification too. Slay Katheryn!

I just want PRISM to cross 2 million in the US

Can I see proof of the Diamond certification in Brazil? I thought only Demi, Adele, Justin, and Beyonce were even possibly capable of a Diamond album in Brazil congrats

yeah, but there's huge a difference between Beyoncé certification since Diamond back then was for 250,000 copies while now is 160,000 and btw Beyoncé sold 550,000.


edit: I just commented because it was shady to put a comma and "and" before Beyoncé's name when she has the best selling album by an international artist in the digital age there, this would be like writing: "Mariah, Celine, Whitney, and Madonna are the best selling female artists".

I don't know… I hope K4 and Katy's catalog sales longevity will push it to the milestone

[alex_katycat]

So Katy's overall pure sales are 115M or something?

[Anticipating]

I think she may be closer to 130 million records

[superben]

Diamond Chanteuse

[Starstruck.]

PRISM singles 30M
Teenage Dream 60M
One Of The Boys 25M (?)

= 115 million singles + 14 million albums = 129 million records (not including collabs and album tracks)

Do you guys think PRISM actually sold 30 million singles? I think it sold around 26 million

My guesstimate with moderately high estimates:

One Of the Boys:
23M Singles
- IKAG - 8
- Hot N Cold - 9
- TOY - 2
- WUIV - 4
4M Album Sales

Teenage Dream:
53M Singles
- CG- 9
- TD - 7.5
- FW - 11.5
- ET - 7.5
- LFN - 5
- TOTGA - 3.5
- POM - 4
- WA - 5
6.7M Album Sales

Prism:
26M Singles
- Roar - 12
- Uncle - 2.5
- DH - 9.5
- Birth - 1
- TIHWD - 1
4M Album Sales

+ Album Tracks (Peacock, OOTB, NLTM, WOA...etc) = 4M

120.7 Records Sold

+ Co-Written Tracks (BW, IDNHU, GOYK...etc) = 10M (Very high guess)

130.7 Records Sold

EDIT: just saw your post Starstruck. Coincidence much :P Don't think so. Very high estimates would just put it past 30M

[Bey_Rihstan]

How many other pop girls have gone diamond in Brazil?

Katy apart of the Elite club

[SeanET]

Hot N Cold & California Gurls are 10M sellers (they have sold 7M just from 3 countries)

Firework sold 11M until 2013
http://news.sys-con.com/node/3045164

i believe it's at 13M now just like Roar since it's always in the iTunes charts & getting a nice boost every New Year's Eve & 4th of July

[Dylobs]

Firework was @ 6,340,000 in the US as of Aug 2013 and Firework is just at 7M right? I don't think it's sold an extra 1,340,000 WW since then. I think 12-12.5 million is a fair guesstimate for both, though. (EDIT: 13M is absolutely gonna happen in the future though)

I remember doing the sales guesses for CG and HnC and neither have certs above 8 million (7.77ish for HnC and 7.725 for CG. I rounded up to 9 for outdated receipts but I also rounded up the UK numbers when doing the certs. I highly doubt that either are at 10 now. CG might get there in the future.

I remember doing a CG estimate and I added up all the catalog sales after the IFPI number and it was around 9.3 million or something.

The song is definitely around 10 million. We don't have updated Canadian, German and Australian sales.

Lemme work on Hot N Cold + IKAG! I never collected proper receipts for OOTB era.

[Aurora]

I remember posting a little while back (when Starstruck. posted all of his data) that I wasn't sure about those songs being 10M+ sellers. I know the receipts we have are outdated but 2-3M is a lot to sell WW in only two years for 5+ year old songs. I'm sceptical, is all. 9M sounds about right though, with 10M definitely being an attainable figure (provided Katy has another successful era).

[Dylobs]

it was in this thread I think I saw some of those receipts.

I mean hopefully they are 10+ and I'm just wrong but I'm a tad skeptical
