Britney can barely scan 300k with her album nowadays.

That last one wasn't even a single and there are more song examples but I'm too tired to argue.

Are you seriously implying DIL and Flawless have had more (cultural) impact than songs like BOMT, GIAB, Dirrty, Toxic (and all the others)? Okay, I should not waste my time arguing with you. Your delusion is just too much. ![deadbanana2](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v232/korn0818/ATRL_Smilies_All/bananas/deadbanana_zps933fcf47.gif)

Didn't she sold like almost 6 million in the US out of those? Not sure I don't have the receipts right now but I'm 100% sure Avril, Britney, Christina and Pink were selling a lot more WW than her in those years. I don't understand why the Hive likes to pretend she has been this WW monster the last 10 years. She has always been very successful but is mostly in the US till this last era since the Superbowl.

I said *was, open your eyes
I fully agree it looks like she's done as a commercial artist. However, she racked up that many worldwide hits in the 2000's that it puts her ahead of the other girls, atleast for the next few years.

Nope, all true - http://atrl.net/forums/showthread.php?t=497116 On top of Brit's recurrent airplay being horrid, Brit's general airplay's a mess too. There's a reason why I Wanna Go was Brit's 1st 100m AI song, and it barely scratched that.

No one cared about Britney besides her fans. She was like Justin Bieber is today...you'll never hear his music in 10-15 years on the radio...it would be seen as embarrassing.

WOOOW. You really can't read. I said they've impacted pop culture, not that they were more impactful. I also said none of the other girls listed, besides Beyoncé, can influence pop culture anymore with their hits. You posting those four songs, all of which are over 10-years-old, proves that.

Lol, ok you tried again. But that doesn't change the fact that Britney's airplay has always been a mess in the US but at least he career is not based on payola like most of the careers today.

Still Britney is gonna have more album sales in the end of their careers sweetie, unless Beyonce films another 200 videos and releases every year like rihanna during the next 10 years.

Now this is what you call delusional. She was huge. I think alot of you are forgetting what a big celebrity she was in the 2000's. It seems alot of her past achievements are being forgotten just because she's flopped and Beyonce is currently on top.

The only Christina song I knew before I started listening to songs other than what was on TV and radio was Beautiful

WW > US
An artist that made more impact WW will always matter the most than a local one ![;)](http://www.atrl.net/forums/images/smilies/images/smilies/wink.gif) .

Is that with or without Destinys Child's sales? Because Baby One More Time and the Oops album have outsold all of these put together..
DIL: 4.9
BDAY: 3.3
IASF: 3.1
4: 1.3
B: 1.8

Why are always trying to discredit Bey?? ![:o](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v232/korn0818/ATRLSmilies/redface_zpsfd99364e.gif) Fact remains that Bey and P!nk are the only ones from their generation that can still sell, while Britney is a nostalgia act in Vegas, Xtina is stuck on a competition show, and Avril can't even scan tinfoil anywhere.
