But you can't compare the single sales of 2004 with 2008. "Toxic" is still a bigger hit in the UK than "Womanizer."
It's like saying that (for example) "Obsessed" is a bigger hit than "We Belong Together" in the US (which is obviously wrong) just because it sold more in the US. The singles market is much bigger now than in 2004.

She's got a critic's pick for 2 compilation albums. Not even Michael Jackson has that.

If you do the math, the % of how big the market is now vs. how big it was in 2004, Womanizr will still outsell Toxic.

Exactly! In absolute terms, the singles market has grown over 350% since 2004 there. Therefore, singles will tend to sell more. Plus, physicals are practically dead.

GROW UP, PLEASE. 
And I never predicted, but in thought, I actually hoped for 50k. Whatever Anthony.  Sorry if I hurt your feelings previously when I combined your name with the S word. CHILD. |
LMFAO, what da ****ery was that post. Someone's mad. DEAD at the "in thought" comment, though. You're hilarious. 
And btw, don't worry, you didn't hurt my feelings. AT ALL. I just wanted to help to get you back to Ban Land quicker. 
Anywayz, as for the british chart... I obviously hoped for a #3 peak -  - but anything inside the Top 10 is great considereing the current situation of the chart and new releases over there. But I guess it's certain '3' would have a far better chance at going Top 5 if it had a physical release, even if that market is dying faster by the minute.

Jive should NOT have released the Greatest Hits CD at all. 
The box set was a good idea but releasing the GH separately and then with the box set is just so 
***goes back into hibernation until we get news for the next album***

I wish she'd take some time until she releases her next studio album. I am always craving for Brit's new music, but I really want her next studio album to be spectaculer [e la Blackout, In The Zone]. A year from now will do

Yup.
I would like to see a VMA's first single debut like old times and then all the trannies and split personalities can run for cover.

Yikes.

I hope by now Jive will realize how stupid they are  I hate to think how this will perform internationally in countries where 3 hasn't been the #1 success. They did a fantastic job with the single, but it should have been for a studio album!

It's quick money for them. I bet they didn't think the standard edition would sale much better. Most people I know, including myself, are waiting for the Box Set. Overall, it's going to sale just fine.
I really appreciate Jive for releasing a Box Set, it's a great closer for Brit's work this decade, and I don't really care much for the standard 17 track pressing of it. In my opinion they only released it to make out as much money as they can, like labels do.

Sean "The Pen" Garrett has the swagger of a boxer. Fast with a verbal jab, expert at talking an Ali-worthy streak of trash and prone to referring to himself in the third person, the fire-hot producer/songwriter (Beyoncé's "Diva," Fergie's "London Bridge," Usher's "Papers" and Mario's "Break Up") is planning to take some rare "me" time later this year to hunker down on his first solo album.
"Sean Garrett as an artist is what fans are missing," he said recently during a break from a workout at an Atlanta gym. "I'm making the kind of records Bell Biv Devoe and Bobby Brown made, songs you love and get excited hearing, with crazy beats and incredibly creative. I'm trying to be a little innovative and make songs girls will love. I'm pulling out all the stops."
Soon, he promised, he'll announce his new label deal, and by the end of December, he's penciled in six weeks or so of intense recording time — the first extended studio lockdown in his nearly decade-long career — to begin laying down the tracks for the yet-untitled album he hopes to have out next summer.
But, like any savvy boxer, Garrett knows when to pull punches and save some for the ring, so while he won't reveal too much about what guests he might have on the album, he did promise this: "I confirmed today that one of the biggest superstars in the world will be on it." Beyond that, he was not saying much.
Garrett released a Japan-only solo disc, Turbo 919, last year, but he said the upcoming album will be his true solo debut after more than half a decade of toiling behind the scenes for everyone from Ashley Tisdale and Amerie to the Pussycat Dolls, Jesse McCartney, Mary J. Blige and Chris Brown.
The first single from the album, the recently released Gucci Mane-featuring tune "Up in Your Heart," is a prime example of Garrett's skills: a hypnotic chorus over a sneakily insidious spare beat and a hook that instantly grabs your ears. "If people love [Mario's] 'Break Up,' they're gonna love my album," said the supremely confident hitmaker. "The biggest comparison I can make [as an artist] is to Kanye, because there's so much energy and so much to talk about, and I want to have so much fun on the record. People have tried to keep me in this songwriter/producer box, but I'm so much more of a bigger talent."
Working hard to make the album what he called "bulletproof," Garrett said despite his proven track record of hit writing, he feels like an underdog on his solo effort. That's why he's working extra hard to prove himself as he plans to continue his winning streak with a song on the upcoming Rihanna Rated R album, as well as tunes he's writing for Lady Gaga and Britney Spears, another single with Mario, "Stranded," and a new one from Jamie Foxx's upcoming album, "French Kiss."
"I have to take the same type of approach I take on the hit records I write: I can't rush it," he said. "I'm a f---ing superstar artist/writer/producer, and I will give my fans what they want and what they're asking me to give them: a phenomenal album. I'm the underdog, man, I can't go wrong. I got nothing to lose. Underdogs can't lose."
In the meantime, Garrett promised that he will also continue to be a presence on the radio and on the mixtape front, pointing to his current spot on the Gucci song "In My Business" alongside Drake.

This number is incorrect. I don't have the link in here, but it was confirmed that Circus' sold over 4 millions albums worldwide. As for M, I have no idea, but I do know this site and it's not such a good source. I was misled by it more than once.
