The same happend to Bye Bye Bye which peaked at #4.
Sometimes didn't have sales but that was her label's choice. It's not the Hot 100's fault.
Legend X got 3 #1's and one top 3 hit because she released all her physical singles.
Legend X:
Genie In A Bottle #1 (#1 Sales, #1 Airplay)
What a girl wants #1 (#1 Sales, #2 Airplay)
I Turn To You #3 (#1 Sales, #14 Airplay)
Come On Over Baby #1 (#1 Sales, #4 Airplay)
Britney:
Baby One More Time #1 (#1 Sales, #8 Airplay)
Sometimes #21 (N/A, #14 Airplay)
Crazy #10 (N/A, #6 Airplay)
From the bottom of my broken heart #14 (#1 Sales, #53 Airplay) |
I think Crazy could have gone to #1 and sometimes top 10.
she would have had 2 #1s and a top 10 but possibly only 12/13x platinum.
I'd rather 14x platinum without top 10s consistency.
The only song where should could have had the best of both world was Oops.
Oops was #9 on the hot 100 but it peaked in airplay in June or July and had they not released a limited edition cd (which i owned) and had a full cd single it could have went #1.
I mean this was after the album was already 4x platinum so taking a few sales from her 200k weekly numbers at that point wouldn't have done much as many fans bought remixes for cd singles even after the album purchase.
All her songs after Genie struggled to go Gold after that much airplay. Actually, I Turn To You can't be certified anything 
Britney's radio flops like FTBOMBH and Stronger sold as much or even more. And her stans criticized Britney for having a low radio-sales return for the FF era
