Stuntin on the lessers
YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAS

I really hope with the next 4 eras (while I know won't be too commercially successful she at least has one hit per era) so that she can cross 250M before she retires


105M+ albums shipped
100M singles/ringtones/dvds
8th best selling female in the us /5th ww which will go to 7th and 4th respectively.

Let's get it Britney.

Actually, Britney's already past Reba when we use TEAs. Shania is grossly overcertified (thanks to Up! being a double album) and Britney is only a couple million albums behind her. When we account for TEAs, Britney is also past her.

For the U.S., the TEAs list looks like this by my estimations:
1. Barbra Streisand
2. Mariah Carey
3. Madonna
4. Celine Dion
5. Whitney Houston
6. Britney Spears
7. Shania Twain
8. Reba McEntire
9. Linda Ronstadt
10. Taylor Swift

Realistically, we only have to worry about Taylor passing Britney in the U.S.

[Anticipating]

"Britney" is probably elegible for 6x Platinum as it's sold over 5.4m once you add club sales, Circus is definitely elegible for 2x Platinum and so is GH:MP. If we go with shipments, her certifications should look like this:

...Baby One More Time: 14x Platinum
Oops...! I Did It Again: 12x Platinum
Britney: 6x Platinum
In The Zone: 3x Platinum
Greatest Hits: My Prerogative: 2x Platinum
Blackout: Platinum
Circus: 2x Platinum
Femme Fatale: Platinum

Total: 41x Platinum

She is SO undercertified.

Don't forget TSC and Britney Jean for gold
Back in the day you only needed to sell 250k to go gold and 750k to go platinum.
both can be gold after her residency

I don't even think Britney will be certified 5x platinum much less 6x platinum but I will say that I do think it will eventually get 5x certified.

In the zone deserves 3x platinum. Its over 3M
Her GH deserves 2x platinum eventually
I would like circus 2xplatinum but don't see that happening as well as OIDIA

She needs to at least get 2 of 4 final albums certified platinum and the other two gold.

I don't use TEAs unless it's a confirmed thing that billboard recognizes so I dont see it for taylor

Billboard has been using TEAs since Gaga came out and now Nielsen Soundscan is incorporating them in to their reports. IFPI also recognizes TEAs

How many albums or teas since taylor pass us?

Taylor's at around 30M albums sold with TEAs in the U.S.

Britney has sold almost 40M albums and has about 40.5M digital singles sold, putting her at 44.05M in the U.S.

At this rate, it'll probably be a decade or so before Taylor passes Britney taking in to account that Taylor will begin to fade at some point, too.

Well, I want Britney to have 3/4 gold platinum albums and 20M more singles sold in the US

I need 250M records before she retires.

I don't see Britney and ITZ being recertified. A lot sold copies from both albums didn't go to soundscan

I agree that i don't see Britney being certified but I do see ITZ being certified. It actually sold over 3M with no club sales by that time

If so, they should recertified it and some of her past singles as well. TTWE should be 3xP by now. BOMT and Toxic should be 2XP. What else?
