ITunes performance of a single doesn't have any effect on how a rap artist will perform in the long run or how his album will do.
Weren't all of ATRL's pop prostitutes supposed to be shaking in their boots @ ~his POWER~? He's a pop act driven by a big fanbase just like they are, even Kary reached #1 in 9 hours that's no excuse.
It always reminds me of this scene in 300
