Everyone complains (including me sometimes) how Britney's huge hits like OIDIA or Toxic didn't hit #1 on Billboard Hot 100. And during Britney era songs rarely entered that list because of that radio ban, but still many people know those 2001-2002 singles. And it seems like everyone only cares about US charts!
Some people don't care about charts at all, and I agree with that too, cause it doesn't matter what chart position song is gonna get, quality and longevity matter more.

But then again, I discovered this Media traffic page ( https://www.mediatraffic.de/ ) and it's basically a global TOP40 chart; every country counts in. So because I LOVE statistics and numbers, I was curious (and bored:quirkney:) and went to chart archives. I WAS SHOOK. Didn't expect those number at all and it actually made my day

So...no need to tell that OIDIA and Toxic hit those number ones, but I was surprised with some other singles that hit top position too:ohcrap: and many songs have peaked at Top10... maybe many of you have known this, but for guys that still don't have a clue I made this list:

  • Me Against The Music (feat. Madonna)          #1                 (4 weeks at top position)

Why don't people focus on this list instead of the Hot 100? This should matter more than the BBHot100, since Worldwide > America :wontcry:

I know right :ririshade2: like this includes united states AND the rest of the world, so it should be talked more about than billboard alone...

Is it true that 'And then we kiss' was #1 for like 2 months on Israel and they had to take it down to leave the spot for another song? 

Wow never heard about that before, but now that you've told me I googled about it and you seem to be right!!

On Wikipedia it clearly says it peaked at #1 in Israel, but doesn't say how many weeks. 

But on a few other sites and old forums it says it's true - 15w at #1 so they forcefully removed it from the radios :cinderellaney::imcute:

Lucky

20 - 5 - 3 - *2* - 2 - 2 - 2 - 2 - 2 - 3 - 5 - 8 - 11 - 12 - 21 - 28 - OUT  (16w)

And fan fact: the reason why Lucky was 6weeks at #2 and didn't climb to #1 is because of Madonna's music who topped the chart at exact time. And if it was no Music, Lucky would have been 6 weeks at #1:feelingmyself:

And btw, Music is best selling single that year. And OIDIA 3rd.

Sadly that's how things are. She's from the US, and even if she wasn't, only American charts / sales is what's gonna be important or told in most cases.

The US are the most powerful country in many aspects of culture/economy, etc, so a big part of the world plays by their rules. 

Plus there being no like, some kind of neutral entity that is checking these worldwide records (or if there is it's not very well known) and rewarding them, I don't think any other organization, magazine, record label is gonna take that responsibility and also I don't know how difficult it would be to keep track of the actual sales from all the stores and retailers around the world. 

But it IS nice that we, as fans, keep these achievements present.

Well no, US chart performance is only really recognized in North America. Unless you follow chart performance as a hobby, the east don’t give a ****.

And crazy how Oops was a week longer at #1 than Baby, and both being at top position for 9 and 8 weeks. I was shook. And Xtina's Genie was #1 for 6 weeks. What A Girl Wants for one week. 

For example, in US Baby was #1 only two weeks, Genie five, What A Girl Wants two, and Oops didn't even reach #1. 

So basically Xtina was more successful in US and Britney worldwide from 1999 to 2000.
