5 ...BABY ONE MORE TIME BRITNEY SPEARS

 

Oh baby, baby, you knew Britney had to be in here somewhere, right? And here she is completing the Top 5. Her debut single …Baby One More Time spent just two weeks at Number 1 in 1999, but it sure shifted plenty of copies while it was there. Its sales tally stands at over 1.55 million – it sold over 460,000 copies in its first week on sale.

It's probably sold more than her most recent lead single Make Me... :D

3 is now Silver. Slaaay.

From the OCC:

 

Soundtracking Britney's first reinvention, and doing wonders for python awareness thanks to Brit's MTV VMA performance of the song, I'm A Slave 4 U reached Number 4 back in 2001. To date, it's sold 231,000 across physical, digital and streaming equivalent sales. So far in 2017, it's notched up 970 downloads, including 39 this week, and it's been played 720,000 times (25,000 in the last seven days).

From the OCC:

Our Twitter buddy @BritneyMakesMe wanted to know a couple of stats about – you’ve guessed it – Britney Spears, namely her most streamed and her biggest selling songs. Her most streamed? This might surprise you, but it’s not one of her old-school classics but actually her most recent Number 1, Scream and Shout, which she released with will.i.am in 2012. The song has notched up 9.88 million plays. Her biggest selling single, however, is probably the most iconic Britney single of them all. Her debut hit …Baby One More Time, which topped the chart in 1999, is her top scorer here – 1.55 million copies sold. She’s still got it!

'Scream & Shout' had sold 870k pure sales as of July 2016, so its combined total should exceed 970k now.

2nd million seller coming!!

1,642,435 sales for Baby, combined.

Although fallen to #62 in the all time best sellers list. 'One Dance' is #8 and has only sold just over 500,000 copies :drama:
