With physical singles markets in all countries quickly vanishing, albums from onwards had very little impact in this format. In spite of the release of more than 10 singles, they failed to even reach a million sales combined!
Due to this dreadful market context. The success itself of those songs was also obviously lower than their predecessors from the early years.
In total, Britney Spears moved 18,6 million physical singles, which is a very good figure given her time frame and lack of physical singles issued in the US. As a reminder, the weighting is done with a 10 to 1,5 ratio between one album and one digital single.
If in one side she benefitted from the last whisper of the physical single market, in the other side Britney Spears was unable to enjoy a digital market during her best years. In spite of this situation, she always managed to achieve strong digital sales. From to , Spears managed to get several digital hits to her name, despite the fact her album sales were a far cry from what they used to be. Blackout, Circus and Femme Fatale were home of singles that sold upwards 10 million units combined.
During this period, every single she released sold at least 1 million downloads, with the exception of Radar and Criminal , both which came fairly close. Overall, Britney Spears has moved 83 million digital singles , a total including both downloads and ringtones, quite an incredible total considering the supposedly bad period the artist was facing when the context was favorable.
Streaming is made up of audio and video streams. Our CSPC methodology now includes both to better reflect the real popularity of each track. The main source of data for each avenue is respectively Spotify and YouTube. As detailed in the Fixing Log article , Spotify represents million of the million users of streaming platforms, while YouTube is pretty much the only video platform generating some revenue for the industry. Below is the equivalence set on the aforementioned article:.
Audio Stream — plays equal 1 album unit Video Stream — 11, views equal 1 album unit. When it comes to streaming, Britney Spears is definitely in a tricky situation. Reaching million streams on Spotify with year old hits that have been widely flagged as teen pop, such as …Baby One More Time and Oops!
Both albums have reached 1 billion streams across all audio and video platforms, which is quite impressive given their teen pop nature. On a negative note though, considering how well both albums and their singles sold upon release, one would expect better streaming figures overall. Unlike her first two albums, this one registers no song above million streams, let alone million. Other songs perform well, too.
Surprisingly enough, the album tracks perform much better than those from her first two albums. Toxic has an impressive showing at nearly million streams on Spotify and nearly million views on YouTube, while Everytime also does well with 57 million streams on Spotify and million streams on YouTube.
Deemed a failure at the time of its release, Blackout performs just okay on streaming. Gimme More is the top track, with 72 million streams on Spotify and million views on YouTube. Piece of Me performs similarly with 53 million streams on Spotify and million views on YouTube. Overall, the album has million streams on Spotify. Womanizer performs quite well with million streams on Spotify and million views on YouTube, proving to be more than just a quick little hit.
The title track, Circus , also performs well at 77 million streams on Spotify and million streams on YouTube. Overall, the album has more than 1 billion streams across all audio and video platforms. All of its four singles have no less than million views, which is definitely a nice result.
On Spotify, although no tracks have reached million streams yet, this will change soon as Till the World Ends is getting fairly close at 93 million.
The 8th studio album of her discography, Britney Jean, proves to be a massive bomb in every aspect, and streaming is no exception. Make Me does decently enough with million streams on Spotify and million YouTube views. Compared to other Britney Spears cuts, the album tracks reach high figures, with the least streamed track having no less than 4 million streams.
The paradox is that this album sold so few copies in pure album format at , units, that its , equivalent album sales from streaming represent a solid addition.
When it comes to orphan songs, the will. Another song that shows impressive results is My Only Wish This Year , which will surely reach million streams on Spotify later this year. For older releases though, they also generate sales of various live, music videos and compilation albums.
All those packaging-only records do not create value, they exploit the value originating from the parent studio album of each of its tracks instead. Inevitably, when such compilations are issued, this downgrades catalog sales of the original LP.
Thus, to perfectly gauge the worth of these releases, we need to re-assign sales proportionally to its contribution of all the compilations which feature its songs. The following table explains this method.
How to understand this table? In the example of Greatest Hits: My Prerogative , these figures mean it sold 6,, units worldwide. The second statistics column means all versions of all the songs included on this package add for 1,, equivalent album sales from streams of all types. The second part on the right of the table shows how many equivalent streams are coming from each original album, plus the share it represents on the overall package.
This means it generated , of its 6,, album sales and so forth for the other records. We then apply this process to all compilations present on the table. Due to the dependency of sales of the original studio albums on these releases, they are a key piece of the jigsaw. Please note country-specific numbers may miss sales of a few minor releases, although totals are complete. So, after checking all the figures, how many overall equivalent album sales has each album by Britney Spears achieved?
Well, at this point we hardly need to add up all of the figures defined in this article! In the following results table, all categories display figures in equivalent album sales. If different, pure sales are listed between parentheses.
See where the artist ranks among remaining singers. And there we have it! The question was on the album being over 30 million or not, a figure it indeed reaches at 31 million. Among her earlier albums, the one impressing the most is likely In the Zone. As pointed out earlier, this album greatly benefits from streaming and digital sales.
Incredibly, its CSPC total nearly matches the one of Britney , and no doubt it will surpass it at some point thanks to the huge success of Toxic. This is one of the reason we can appreciate CSPC so much as it gives back justice to various albums that had their success spread over many formats, making their popularity look lower due to album sales not fully covering it.
I see that Louis Bell is credited for producing "Without Me" and by himself, for that matter , as well as co-writing it. My Spidey sense isn't telling me yet what No. Check the web tomorrow. I'm so proud of Lauren Daigle and her success with her hit "You Say," which, as you wrote about, becomes her first top 40 hit on the Hot this week and is just the second song to go top 10 on both the Christian Airplay and Adult Pop Songs charts, after The Fray's "How to Save a Life.
In , Grant dominated the Hot again, as "Baby Baby" reigned for two weeks. Parent album Heart in Motion became her first of three Billboard top 10s and spun off three more Hot top 10s: "Every Heartbeat" No.
Grant returned to the Hot 's top 20 in with "Lucky One" which maintains a presence 25 years later: as proof, I heard it over the speakers in CVS last week! It's always fun to hear lost pop hits in stores, isn't it? But, don't you hate when they get interrupted by an intercom announcement that more cashiers are needed at the checkout counter?
Of course, if you're in a long line, extra cashiers will make your wait shorter, so that's good. And, the cashiers at the CVS in town are very friendly. But, does that offset a good song getting interrupted? Oh, she took a new version of "Baby Baby" to the Hot Christian Songs chart's top 10 as recently as , for the original's 25th anniversary. The update, featuring Tori Kelly, reached No. Other artists have translated Christian music success to pop, including a Grant collaborator, Michael W.
