2012 Year-End Charts:
"S&M Remix" has sold 107,251 copies (as of January 2013) making a total of 593,867

Source: Gaon Year-end foreign download charts for 2012 http://gaonchart.co.kr/digital_chart...hart_Time=year
Total singles sold in South Korea from year-end charts: 2,934,361 single sold
It's important to remember that South Korea did not have any charts till 2010 and that their single sales were about 2 cents before this year. "Work Bitch" is smashing, despite selling only 20,000 copies, because single sale prices have gone up 25 fold. Also, I will look through their download charts and try to find numbers for other singles and update these numbers.
EDIT:
"Ooh La La" has sold 72,468 copies so far (taken from the monthly charts)
"Scream & Shout" has sold 42,173 copies in 2013 (taken from the 2013 monthly charts, 2012 monthly/weekly charts aren't available)
"Work Bitch" has sold 24,831 copies so far.
Her available single sales total is: 3,073,833 singles sold
It's a shame we can't pull up pre-2010 numbers because "Circus" and "Womanizer" were HUGE smashes.
True. The number lacks all of the catalogue sales from her tracks, though, and includes select catalogue single sales. It also lacks "S&S remix" and "Ooh La La" sales. I miss the days when we used to get the digital charts regularly
Can I ask where you got Beyoncé's physical South Korean sales?
EDIT:
Most stans seem to use these numbers (UK Mix also uses them, the singles do have physical sales):
Tracks: 1,865,000
Singles: 34,380,000
Total: 36,245,000
I prefer to use a more conservative estimate because a few of their numbers lack documentation. If these numbers are correct, tracks should easily pass 2 million by the end of the year thanks to "SMS (Bangerz)."

I ignore if you know it, but she sold 959,000 digital tracks in the 2000s in Canada.
Foxy, can you please look at my stats and make necessary updates?
THanks.

Yeah, the last time numbers leaked was on August 1st. I remember very well cause it was me.
I got her Korean physical sales (they ain't all physical, though) on a site months ago. I don't remember which, sorry.
It's better to keep the total reliable unless you're 100% certain that what you say is true. You can easily estimate some songs catalog sales, though.
I ignore if you know it, but she sold 959,000 digital tracks in the 2000s in Canada.
Thanks so much for leaking them I need more.
Yeah, Korean sales are a travesty because Gaon came around so late. East Asia has been a mess for forever (the fact that Taiwan does a combo chart instead of just using the sales numbers is facepalm worthy), and so Britney's numbers will forever be under documented. It's a darn shame because she was pretty popular for a long time, especially in South Korea.
I agree with that completely.
And I'll make sure to store that. Foxay is the head of our receipts thread, so she may have more numbers for us.

I remember both 'Britney' & 'Oops!... I Did It Again' were both above 200K in Korea. Korean digital sales are so awful now [compared to 2010-2012]. It's depressing.

The problem with Korean sales pre-2010 is they are just estimates. 200k would be nice, but that seems low for the time they were released. On the flip side, I could see like her third/fourth/fifth album all selling 50k or less due to the market crash.
The digital sales in Korea are much better than they were before. Korea raised the price on singles and limited bundling packages (you used to be able to get like 20 songs for 25 cents). I think even Freezone (a ringtone company that gives out free digital downloads the third week of a song's release has been dialled back because people were using it to manipulate charts.
"Work B**ch" is #11 on the digital download charts in South Korea this week with 6,583 copies sold (31,414 copies sold / 3,080,416 digital tracks sold total). The digital aggregate is 481,963 (2,086,353 total) placing Britney at #8 on the foreign charts and #187 on the official charts.
Foreign Run: 3-3-8
Overall: 117-111-187
The song is going to earn her label like $20,000 just from South Korea
In its fourth week in the U.S., "Work Bitch" is #21 on the Hot 100. I'm going to make a prediction that it sold a but over 45k this week, but it isn't confirmed yet. http://www.billboard.com/artist/2975...y-spears/chart
This week "Work B**ch" falls to #41 on Gaon's Foreign Chart with a DA of 200,522 (2,610,485 DA total). It sold 2,319 copies this week, bringing its total to 37,714 copies sold in South Korea.
