From the OCC:

 

By comaprison, Britney's Me Against The Music has 189,000 chart sales, including 5.2 million streams.

Up 5k from May 2020.

That’s a decent rise, any particular reason why?

It's like 200 copies a week, I don't think it's anything out of the ordinary. Should pass Silver in just over a year's time.

True! I can’t believe how poor it’s sales were for two legends.

2003-2006 was an abysmal time for sales.

Nice next year probably silver ^_^

If “Me Against The Music” is at 189K units I’m pretty sure that “If U Seek Amy” must be around that number too. I believe their pure sales are similar and “If U Seek Amy” has bigger streaming numbers (the Circus album is always charting on Apple Music in the UK, plus it went viral on TikTok and had a nice boost on Spotify).

 

Last update on pure sales:

[2009/06] 113,749 - Me Against the Music

[2010/01] 101,000 - If U Seek Amy

Yeah, if I had to hazard a guess, I'd say 'If U Seek Amy' is on ~180k. 'My Prerogative' probably not far behind, say ~170k, and I think 'Break the Ice' could be on similar numbers too.

‘Break the Ice’ feels like her most forgotten single, along with ‘Do Somethin’

 

I would be surprised if ‘Break the Ice’ was anywhere near 180K, but stranger things have happened.

I don't think it's as high as 180k but I'd be surprised if wasn't over 150k by now. It's a fan favourite from perhaps her most popular album; it doesn't feel much more forgotten than some of the other songs that place above it.

The Singles Collection is back at #100 this week on the streaming chart.

Total: 248,903 (27th November 2020)

 

Getting so close to 250k! On 10th January 2020 its sales were 217,110.

It’ll hit 250k in the next two weeks then?

Nice to see it still charting 😊

It’ll hit 250k in the next two weeks then?

Yes! *.*

 

New figure is 249,884, but it fell out of the Top 200 this week despite selling 981 :cry: #200 sold 989!

New total for The Singles Collection: 250,871 :D It sold 987 units, but #200 sold 1,025. A shame that it's had a couple of near misses, but I assume it will return to the Top 200 in the new year.

How much do we think Glory has sold by now? Hopefully at least 20k?

Yes it should be. It had sold 15.8k to the end of its chart run in October 2016:

 

2-41-94-178-167-111-X

 

It's possible that total sales could be as much as 30k but not beyond that, I wouldn't have thought.

Gimme More is now Gold in the UK.

So 50k since last December, which works out as 900-1,000 a week. Quite a jump from its 30k yearly average though!

 

Thoroughly deserved! It's leapfrogged 'Born to Make You Happy', 'Crazy' and 'Piece of Me' in the space of a year, which I guess could mean they're not far off a certification either. Using the yearly averages given last December, 'Born to Make You Happy' should be on 395k, 'Crazy' 374k and 'Piece of Me' 371k, but maybe their sales are higher than the average too.
