Everytime was a global WW number 1 that hit the top 5 in almost every country it charted. It wasn't like Dope which went top 10 for a week then fell off the face of the earth after that
Lady Gaga - You & I, Dope
Beyonce - Halo
Adele - Someone Like You, Hello
Christina Aguilera - Beautiful, I Turn To You
Rihanna - Unfaithful, Take A Bow, Stay
Etc..
Yet Britney doesn't have a single one. Why?
Slobro I'm surprised you didn't mention any JLO ballads since u stan her
It was a global hit and the blacklist/lack of physical singles released by her label is clearly a legitimate excuse for her Hot 100 peaks.

USA is not the only country in the World. Britney is GLOBAL. Poor some of her peers.
These stats are weak compared to her peers smash ballads/songs. Global artsts can smash in the biggest market in the world (top 10 song that goes 4x Plat), and go top 10 in all those other markets as well: Something Britney hasn't ever done.
You and I sold 2.3m in the US alone
Everytime 2m WW
You're comparing sales in the digital era to a song from 2004? Look at the chart positions across the globe and you'll see that Everytime is clearly more successful than any Gaga ballad, and better video, too!
