It wasn't the debut week, it was months after it was released, during Christmas where sales get very high I think (same for Firework, Fergalicious, I Knew You Were Trouble, etc.).

Wait, so Ariana beat GaGa by 1000?

What was Robin's radio audience when One Direction hit no. 1 on HDS?

If we cry because she doesn't hit #1, it will be your fault.

Congrats to Katy.

Robin sold more than he was predicted to as well.

Not Gaga selling less than Ariana Grande.

Those aren't the opening week sales for Tik Tok.

Well done Gaga

YESS Gaga, and next week's chart will be helped with the streaming from the video, week after by VMA promo

Roar + Applause
ROYALS Top 10!

Katy


Still happy for Gaga, even tho we all expected better numbers before its release

Robin could actually get #1 for 12th week since his airplay is going strong. If Robin sells 250-275k and Katy sells ~400k, he should still be able to get it. A week 13 is questionable, though. Everything depends on the VMAs.

Wait, what?

Katyyy :

557K is amazing
far above the initial expectations
and she came close to doubling #2 and 2.5X-ing #3

At least it didn't open with 133k!
