Leona is currently sitting at #10, ahead of IIWAB by about 8 milli...shes closing in but we need a push at radio again to help it push into those upper reaches
She will get her 1 week just like Womanizer and let's not forget she has twice the airplay Womanizer had at that point.
'Live Your Life' is also strong on downloads - probably #2 behind IIWAB right now - and has WAY more audience than both Beyoncé singles, and the gap on airplay between T.I./Beyoncé is bigger than T.I./Britneyback then. So it's not just about downloads, and I *really* don't see SL sellling 280k.
What I believe that comment meant about Usher pulling a "Butterfly" means it'll do what "My All" by Mariah Carey did for her "Butterfly" album back in 98. It brought her a #1 hit and sales spark after many had thought the album was over.

I knew it had to do something with Mariah Carey. I just didn't understand the "Butterfly" part.
