"Harlem Shake", due to hundred million Youtube stream. Before that "Part of Me" by Katy, but that was before the rule change -- it was still sales+airplay and she did 411k.
Bieber's "Boyfriend" debuted at #2 under the streaming rules, 500k+ and huge airplay but it had
0 streaming (wasn't available on services) while fun.'s "We Are Young" had like nearly 400k sales, airplay and a million streams.
All the high debuts of late are really due to sales, but streaming is becoming more and more relevant in the first week.
That's why there is a thirst to have a unique lyric video up (Gaga shooting a lyric video with drag queens yesterday(?) to premiere it tomorrow). Because the lyric/audio videos are easy streams that are counted, literally millions right away. Spotify/Rhapsody are not as quick because it takes time for people to begin streaming on there.
Britney will obviously have an audio/lyric video up since they did it for "Ooh La La", so I have no concerns about her streaming. She'll at least have 4-5 million in the first week from audio/lyric alone. It'd be cool if she had the video ready like "Applause" was supposed to, but she hasn't began shooting anything that we know of, so.
'cause it was.... The demo and the actual song are night and day.
