The Hot 100 just measures success in the United States, for a year, and on top of that it is not correlated to digital sales but also to radio plays.

The single sales from that era weren't that good. In fact, "only" TTWE performed really well if we're being unbiased (it sold 5M). The lead single (a very frontloaded one) and IWG both stand below 3,5M pure sales worldwide. These are clearly average numbers for 2011 standards.
And despite the low peak of the singles, Beyoncé's 4 era still sold 20M digital downloads on a global scale, more than Femme Fatale (12M) and even more than Circus (17M).
I don't know if you're talking about Pink's F**kin' Perfect, but it sold 5,650,000 digital sales, more than any single from Femme Fatale, and its predecessor single (Raise Your Glass) has more impressive numbers (7,140,000).
The fact I highlighted the records set for SALES, proves what a point I made earlier that Hold It Against Me did very well.
So you are wrong.
Bey released 7 Singles for that album, compared to just 4 for Britney's Femme Fatale and Circus, each.
I am sure if Britney released nearly double her singles, they would be higher than Beyonce's bc 4/7 = 53% X 20 M (Bey's total) = 11.42 M which is less than the 12 M she has from Femme Fatale, proving she is above the average needed to surpass Beyonce if they had the same # of singles.
Of course, the same can be said for Circus, since it is about 50% higher than Femme Fatale.
P!nk's F-in Perfect is from 2010, and bringing up an even prior single in Raise Your Glass is also still not challenging my point about 2011 Singles... so you are automatically wrong!
The only single P!nk released in 2011, was Bridge of Light, which you conveniently skipped since that is not even at half a million sales...
Lastly, Bey's songs had low sales, they were later certified due to streams.
Britney Spears's Billboard 200 entries, ranked by weeks in top 10:
1. 50, ...Baby One More Time
2. 23, Oops!...I Did It Again
3. 9, Circus
4. 8, Britney
5. 7, In The Zone
6. 5, Femme Fatale
7. 2, Blackout
8. 1, Greatest Hits
8. 1, Britney Jean
8. 1, Glory
Total: 107 weeks
MJD, do you still consider blackout a flop álbum? 5.8 M equivalent albums looks ok , and gimne more are doing very well in streaming.
Are you going to update Britney now that she’s number 1 on the leaderboard?
