 Things have changed, which is why Britney will never get those type of numbers again. Gaga, on the other hand, debuted with platinum numbers - something Britney could (and did) do with her second album. The Fame Monster has sold over 10 million, something Britney could (and did) do in the past. So Gaga is charting the standard for today, while Britney has obviously declined and is NOT setting the standards for anything.
So there is no use is using '99-'03 receipts, for Gaga and Beyonce combined have beat out Spears upon their arrival
