You're not agitating. Your conclusion is just wrong.
Animal debuting with 150k in January is a great number after "Tik Tok". No other new artists besides Bieber and Susan Boyle have pulled such great numbers. Jay Sean? Jason DeRulo? They had huge hits with "Down" & "Whatcha Say" but their albums bombed first week and aren't Gold. Ke$ha however opened great and is continuing to sell during a usual bad period for sales.
"Just Dance" was a massive hit, but didn't help
The Fame until months later. Ke$ha's team was just smart enough to allow "Tik Tok" to get big enough to sell her album.
