The heavily controversial feat of Broly destroying a Galaxy.
He may not have destroyed the galaxy in one blast, but...
We know some things for certain:
1. He destroyed most of it.

It's likely they left a few bits and pieces as a trail for the others to follow:

Considering Paragus' whole plan was to lure Prince Vegeta to his death, and he had Broly purposely leave Ki signatures behind leading to New Planet Vegeta.
2. He did it in a relative amount of time.

It's illogical to think that King Kai waited decades to let Goku know what was happening.
3. Writers don't give a F*** about science.
We see the Galaxy spinning, it would be scientifically impossible for a galaxy to be spinning that fast in that amount of time, but then again it isn't really possible for anything to go Faster Than Light according to science. It's not that Science doesn't apply to fiction, it's that science doesn't usually limit fiction.
Now the feat:
It's highly unlikely that he actually destroyed the Galaxy in one shot, because he had been attacking places since he was a teenager.

But we do know he destroyed a good portion of it in a relative amount of time to King Kai.

So here's where the numbers come in.
- So far, astronomers have found more than 500 solar systems and are discovering new ones every year. Given how many they have found in our own neighborhood of the Milky Way galaxy, scientists estimate that there may be tens of billions of solar systems in our galaxy, perhaps even as many as 100 billion.
Conclusion A:
Broly destroyed over 100,000,000,000 Solar Systems in a single blast. [Unlikely]
Conclusion B:
Broly destroyed over 100,000,000,000 Solar Systems over the time period of a year.
273972602 Solar Systems a day on an average
Conclusion C:
Broly destroyed over 100,000,000,000 Solar Systems over a decade.
10 Billion Solar systems a year on average
27397260 Solar systems a day on average.
Conclusion D:
Broly destroyed over 100,000,000,000 over 40 years (his lifespan) (bare minimum)
2500000000 Solar Systems a year on average.
6849315 Solar Systems a day on average.
Misc. Properties of the feat:
1. Broly must have MFTL+ Travel Speed and Reaction Speed.
2. It's likely he tanked a few of the stars he sent Supernova.
3. He can survive in space.
Misconceptions:
"Broly lost to an amped SSJ1, Broly is fodder."

Gohan, Trunks, Piccolo and Vegeta gave Goku all there energy, Goku transferred all that energy into Broly, causing him to overload. This is evident in the fact that Broly starts glowing and cracking the explodes.
"Broly lost to rusty SSJ2 Gohan and SSJ1 Goten and Goku."
First, in Movieverse Gohan wasn't "rusty".

He was considerably stronger.
Secondly, the simple answer is it was PIS. Nobody was able to harm Broly yet suddenly they vaporize him? Simple PIS.
Conclusion:
No matter how you slice it, you can't call this an outlier since Bojack and Hatchiyak also did similar things, and the film maker said Broly is 2nd to only Janemba in movie antagonists. The feat is massive no matter which way you interpret it.
