New formula: 1,500 Pandora and SoundCloud streams count as 1 album sale.

Doesn't matter if nobody in the entire global industry uses this formula and I sound delusional! The Beyst stans they count South Korea downloads so these count is my justification!

And where exactly is this literacy that you speak of?

So you've got access to Beyonce's exact ringtone numbers yet can't see Britney's sales estimates? We used to get HDS from this person almost every week for around 5 years. Are you going to try and disprove those, too?

Excuse the hell out of us for believing someone who has been leaking numbers for almost a decade over some random French Britney hater.

'Destiny's Child' (1998) 1,5 million
'The Writing's On The Wall' (1999) 13,0 million
'Survivor' (2001) 10,5 million
'8 Days Of Christmas' (2001) 1,0 million
'This Is The Remix' (2002) 0,5 million
'Destiny Fulfilled' (2004) 6,0 million
'Destiny Child's Number Ones' (2005) 3,0 million
'Dangerously In Love' (2003) 10,0 million

'Baby One More Time' (1999) 25 million
'Oops!...I Did It Again' (2000) 22 million

These market excuses don't work when your fave released in better sales climates and STILL took ~8 albums to sell what Britney did with 2.

And that's not even including:

Single Remix Tracks (2000) - 50k (?)
Love: Destiny (2001) - 200k (?)

I had never noticed before that Beyonce sold around half of her album sales from 1998-2002

Billboard just rounded up her sales. Get over it. The thing is, you were delusional and naive enough to believe she sold 620k albums in catalog sales from January 2011 to May 2012 when, as a stan, you ought to know that it's just impossible considering how horrid her catalog album sales are.

And when did I say I had Beyoncé's exact ringtone numbers?! Please link me to the post I said that.

Well, it's your right to believe numbers that aren't real.

DC's albums did great considering they're R&B.

Ahhh, I love that you're pressed...

As for Britney's old sales, they're completely irrelevant and forgotten considering her albums sell close to nothing nowadays and people don't stream her music either.

Everyone includes them.

The fact some Britney stans say that when some of them used to (some for sure still do) inflate Ooh La La's SK sales by 1900%.

No wonder she's trying to sneak VEVO views as album equivalents and then trying to justify it.

The Nightmare Before Christmas is on TV and when you think about it, it's a timeless, poignant, imaginative, ahead-of-its-time (it kinda flopped upon release) masterpiece of art that will surpass time.

The fact that you genuinely think this is shade when I was right that album equivalents would be incorporated in to era estimates and waited almost 13 years for the industry to catch up to IFPI.

Now that VEVO has rather effectively ended the fake views and sales are falling while all forms of streaming are growing, it's only a matter of time before charting entities start investing in VEVO tracking equipment and incorporating it into their estimates.

Then again, it's no skin off my back if they never do. My fave's not the one that needs adjustments to have an impressive career

This has me cackling

You had to quit your receipts thread because you dedicated too much of your time to Britney Spears.

And the fact that you genuinely believe selling a couple hundred singles a week is more important than selling millions of albums in the past is such a kii. Is Luke Bryan bigger than Garth Brooks because his catalog sales are higher?

You posted Bey's old ringtone numbers in your old receipts thread? Are you saying now that they weren't accurate sales? How can I trust anything you say, sis?

[Artemisia]

it really is amazing how literally no one is listening to britney on spotify

But you are. You're now almost attacking me because I've been saying those sales are fake.

It mostly means people aren't very interested in Garth Brooks's music the same way they're not interested in Britney's.

Her mastertone sales got certified and she was one of the best-selling ring/mastertones artists of the 2000s (the 7th actually; #1 female).

99% of our faves never showed up on FreeZone, sis Beyonce/Alicia Keys were the only ATReLevant artists I remember that showed up on FreeZone and Britney never got a chance to sell for free because she didn't hit Sony's RCA till late 2012 and they revamped in 2013.

I stan SNSD and don't even use their single numbers from FreeZone

Where did I EVER inflate Britney's South Korean sales? Feel free to check.

I've got to go, but feel free to spend your Christmas obsessing over the numbers of an artist you don't like and desperately finding some way to lower her immaculate numbers. Merry Christmas

Damn. Then she kinda has a point.

I was so hoping she was talking about Lotus.

[Halien4Life]

Xtina SPOKE the truth

the gorls started RUNNING after Sia after this album,

too bad Sia had already peaked with her Xtina songs, p00 dat

[HEIDI]

The decline from Bionic to Lotus, though.

[Ash12345]

Britney is a way bigger album seller than bey
even adjusted for inflation
she sells WAY more globally, and even stateside
(BB's biggest album sellers ever adjusted)
