Reading comprehension sweety. It says THIS YEAR and it was released and started smashing last year

It's at 5.1-5.2M in the US which is amazing considering the extreme drop in digital sales this year

7 Iggy Azalea - Fancy (featuring Charli XCX) 2,533,000

With all the hype of this song on ATRL and their non stop bragging about Iggy's huge success, I swear I thought it's already at 4xplatinum. And where the hell is Problem?

LOL at some trying to discredit Dark Horse when it's a HUGE single selling more than 5+ Million overall and STILL Too 10 on radio and Fancy which is still selling +150k every week. I swear some of ya'll are so mad...

Fancy has very lame sales for a no1 song.

Fancy is still top 5 combined on ITunes. You don't go 4 times platinum in a month.

Single Ladies didn't go 4 platinum til a year and a half after release

music isn't as eventful this year, as it was in say 2011/2012. A lot of the big stars are on break right now. Rihanna, Gaga, Bruno Mars are all on break.

As well as music as recently went to a different sound from the straight up pop music that the general music pop lovers eaters eat up.

Plus these songs are still going to sell. It's only halfway through the year. We still have PLENTY of time for these sales to increase.

Music Talker do you happen to have 2013's total sales?

Train’s "Hey, Soul Sister" sold 3,319,000 copies in the first half of 2010. "E.T." by Katy Perry featuring Kanye West sold 4,120,000 copies in the first half of 2011. “Somebody That I Used To Know” by Gotye featuring Kimbra sold 5,501,000 copies in the first half of 2012. “Thrift Shop” by Macklemore & Ryan Lewis featuring Wanz sold 5,558,000 copies in the first half of 2013.
