Britney Spears has just sold her 60 millionth album since she exploded onto the scene in 1999. To celebrate this phenomenal achievement the 28th Feburary 2005 will see the release of Britney Spears funky Do Somethin' on SonyBMG. This fantastic new single is taken from Britney’s recent record-breaking Greatest Hits collection Greatest Hits: My Prerogative.

With 60 million albums under her belt, Britney Spears leads the pack as the biggest selling female artist of the last 5 years. This record puts her ahead of fellow megastars Beyonce, Avril Lavigne, Madonna, Cher, JLo, Mariah Carey, Whitney Houston and Dido.

Bloodshy & Avant, who together with Britney, brought us the hottest track of 2004 and UK No.1 – Toxic, produce Do Somethin'. Another slick piece of electro-pop that will be on heavy rotation on both dance floors and i-pods throughout the year.

Britney’s recent Greatest Hits: My Prerogative broke the UK record for 1st week sales of a ‘Greatest Hits’ by a female artist – selling over 115,000 in the first week alone. The album has since gone double platinum in the UK (600,000) and is close to being certified triple platinum...

Do Somethin' is a classic Britney track that looks set to be a huge hit. Give it a listen by selecting from the drop-down box above.

Out 28th February 2005.

That is really awesome that she is about to go triple platinum in the U.K. that means about 900k that is so great! What they are saying is she has actually sold 60 million copies not shipped and that is really good. I don't know what she has sold world wide anywhere but in the U.S i know she has sold about 32 million copies.
1st Album= 14 million
OIDIA= 10 million (just recently certified !)
Britney= 4 million (but she is actually at 4.2 million)
ITZ= 3 million ( about 2.96 million)
GH:MP= 1 million (about 975K)
= 32 million ( well a little more than 32 million but not 33 million yet)

So which article is right? The one where she sold 60 million albums after 2000, or the one where she sold 60 million since here debut?

What's the deal with the conflicting data?
