Can we just take a moment to try and give each other a chance? Now, you may have not read J-esper's comment, but she said, and I quote "every song can hit #1 with the right campagne and support". The ONLY reason why I posted those three examples was to prove that her point was not necessarily true and that even with the largest ampunt of promotion, a song can still miss the #1 spot. That's the only reason why I posted that, not to make it seem like anything less than #1 is worthless. I hope you understand what I'm saying and don't just argue with me for the sake of arguing.

And about your three points, that still does not excuse the fact that they missed the #1 spot. I can come up with all the reasons in the world for why Usher's Scream didn't hit #1, but does that excuse the fact that it only hit #10? NO!

Anyway, I'm not trying to argue with you guys, but it seems like you guys aren't even paying attention to what I'm trying to say and that makes me feel sad.

Don't do Where Have You Been like that. WHYB is genius.
Dance pop =/= generic.

Agreed on everything.

I'm not worried about PTA worldwide, but I'm not sure how well it'll do in America. Honestly, I pray it doesn't do close to as well as Starships because that's just going to hinder the success of the next single (Va Va Voom or Whip It, both which need to smash)

I know what you're trying to say, even with the right amount of promotion a song will not get to #1 if it isn't destined to. Sorry, it sounded like you were implying all songs that don't get to #1 are flops

I expect pound the alarm to be a hit. Top 10 and 3x platinum. I don't think it should hinder the obvious smashes va va voom. If anything pta needs to be released now because theother two songs are bonafide smashes. Pta and vvv will benefit from years end Nov and Dec sales so I don't worry about that. I just hope she promotes I am your leader, champion, Hov lane and fireburn/gun shot to at least go platinum...the first three have shots at double platinum. I expect at least 3 more top 10s, 1 more top 20 and 3 more top 40 hits before the era ends.

An urban-only Nicki single is never going to go double platinum.

I agree that certainly Champion and HOV Lane have potential to go double platinum, but they only will if she releases them as pop singles, and she obviously won't do that.

And I don't think it's shady saying Nicki is a singer. It's true that she's a singer, and she's also a rapper.

But, in reality, the only Nicki Minaj songs that 99% of the public have heard this year are Turn Me On and Starships, so it's very understandable that people are going to call her primarily a singer. Only her core fanbase know that she also raps and does hip hop.

Even, if she does release them as Pop singles, I doubt any of her urban singles will go double platinum. Moment 4 Life isn't even double platium & it's one of her most popular songs.

BITT was a really big Urban radio it. A lot of people know about the song, as do they Stupid Hoe.
