Hi Nick!
Definitely not with physical sales, The Ketchup Song is the only song that came close to that mark since 2000.
I think Christina's accomplishment is already amazing and I am not trying to discredit her achievement. But why do you keep on comparing US chart runs alone? Look at their worldwide single sales and chart runs. Christina cant compete against Britney unless she's doing collaboration with big artists such as Adam Levine and Pitbull. Britney also makes Christina's album sales looks like amateur. She sold twice as much as her US sales and on an international level she outsold her almost 3 times more. Do you seriously think Xtina is as big as Britney at her peak?
Because in Britney's peak her singles werent being promoted as they generated low sales. Her albums were being purchased instead and that why she is so huge there where as Christina falls very far behind
The author of this has a noticeable bias in favor of Britney & against Christina, as can be seen by the constant mentioning of Britney on a page that is supposed to be about Christina & her sales figures. The constant comparisons between the two is questionable.
Hi Steven!
There is no bias against Christina and many people here can confirm you I'm certainly no fan of Britney. Who someone listens to or not doesn't matter as far as facts are concerned. The Christina vs Britney view is simply logical and relevant. They have been compared since the very beginning, if it wasn't for that comparison, many wouldn't even be remotely as interested in Christina's sales. What's maybe unfair to Christina is that we forgot about the remaining female pop acts from that era that she actually topped with ease. We don't compare her with Mandy Moore, Hillary Duff and Jessica Simpson because they lost so much relevance that very few care as of now. The only two that we remember are Britney and Christina and among them she is second, which make her look like the loser of the story while in all fairness she isn't.
Shaniqua,
If changes ur musical genre all the time is called talent. Then it is fine. Its not going to sell records though. Even Madonna who is largely recognize as a revolutionary musician who constantly changes her type of music, is still largely considered a pop musician. She literally only went into catchy Teen Pop songs and Dance songs. If you want to have a long career in the music industry. You better have a good sense of direction of what ur music is going to be in the next 10-15 years. Not changing ur mind about what type of singer u want to be all the time. U will lose out loyal fans pretty quickly.

According to Sony Music Taiwan, the album Christina Aguilera (1999) sold over 100k in Taiwan by 2002. Are you sure Baby One More Time only sold 130k there in total since BOMT released really a lot of re-issues there?
Well dhhd Sony Music certifications lists let very little room for doubt there!
BOMT was certified Platinum in Taiwan when in Japan it was awarded Platinum or earlier. She was interviewed in Japan by Taiwanese media and got a platinum plaque for BOMT in Taiwan by then in like April?There are several videos on the internet
