Here's an updated look at Spears's (…one more time!) best-selling albums in the U.S. and her top-selling downloads:
Albums: …Baby One More Time (1999),
10.6 million; Oops!...I Did It Again (2000),
9.2 million; Britney (2001),
4.4 million; In the Zone (2003), 3 million; Circus (2008),
1.7 million; Greatest Hits: My Prerogative (2004),

1 million; Femme Fatale (2011),
788,000; Britney Jean (2013),
265,000; The Singles Collection (2009),
250,000.
With 33.1 million albums sold in the U.S., Spears is the 17th-best-selling album artist since Nielsen began tracking sales in 1991. Among women, she's fourth, after Mariah Carey (54.6 million), Celine Dion (52. 4 million) and Shania Twain (34.5 million). After Spears, Reba McEntire ranks fifth among women at 30.4 million albums sold.
And, here are Spears's (… I did it again) 10-best-selling downloads (and remembering that her career predates the dawn of the digital era by a few years): "Womanizer,"
3.5 million; "Circus,"
3.1 million; "Till the World Ends,"
2.9 million; "3,"
2.3 million; "Toxic,"
2.2 million.
"Piece of Me,"
1.9 million; "Gimme More,"
1.81 million; "I Wanna Go,"
1.77 million; "Hold It Against Me,"
1.6 million; "If U Seek Amy,"
1.3 million.
As for whether we'll get new Britney Spears music anytime soon? "I'm going to try to do my best to do an amazing album," she recently told Billboard. "But, it's not my full priority right now."
