@msg00dpuss As if Beyoncé could be as beautiful as Britney is in this video. Spears is literally the embodiment of female beauty, which is why she captivated the whole world. People love female beauty.
@tzxuh@headbeyhive@Sony It peaked at number 36 on the global Spotify chart in 2019, but it wasn't a single back then. And that remains its highest position.
@tzxuh@headbeyhive@Sony Between 2016 and 2019, it cracked Spotify’s global top 40 without even being an official single. The label simply had to make it a single—all while providing absolutely no promotion or an official music video.
@tzxuh@headbeyhive@Sony It’s a track from 2000 that is supposedly a single from November 2020... Yet it never got any radio airplay, and there’s no music video or live performances of it. I can't consider it a single
@tzxuh@headbeyhive@Sony Most certified album and single:
Britney: 14 + 6 = 20M
Beyoncé: 7 + 11 = 18M
Plus, a solo track—not even a single—that makes the global Top 40 every year... Yet Britney is considered "forgotten" while Beyoncé isn't? 🤔
@tzxuh@headbeyhive@Sony It's not even a single... for a non-single from 2000, it has excellent results... And how could it have 1.5 million when it has nearly 500 million on Spotify alone... The 1.5 million figure represents pure sales.
@tzxuh@headbeyhive@Sony Because it’s an old song, and under the rules it can only re-enter the Top 25; however, based on sales alone, it would be in the Billboard Top 60–80 every year if that rule were removed.
@tzxuh@headbeyhive@Sony Let's convert the album sales into single-equivalent sales, then, and assign 10 million to each track from Britney's two albums.
@tzxuh@headbeyhive@Sony A full Britney album outsold any Beyoncé single in the US...
Britney's peak is a 14-times platinum album.
Beyoncé's peak is 11-times platinum, and that's for a single.
@tzxuh@headbeyhive@Sony When we're talking about digital equivalents derived from singles rather than exact copies, 7 million is a low figure. In that case, you should award a Diamond certification to every track from Spears' early albums. If single sales are being converted [into album equivalents]
@tzxuh@headbeyhive@Sony Your Beyoncé never really took off with her albums—peaking at 7 million, including equivalent units... Meanwhile, Britney peaked at 14 million/10 million based on pure sales alone.
