GaGa's new record on Jan 1st will make it to #1 iTunes in 4 or 5 hours then
Not necessarily. Bad Romance did good but not great its first week, fell its second week, and then suddenly just picked up a lot of steam and kept going. But it didn't explode out of the gate.
But its a VERY BAD MOVE to release a song on a Wednesday..... It wont go #1 NO WAY (It has to sell 60K copies more than the main version of LTWYL to compensate the sales from the second version of the song, and it has to compensate the sales from 3 days in which LTWYL has sold +100K)... So to go #1 on digital song it has to sell 160K more than LTWYL and to go #1 on Billboard it has to sell 160K more + 120K to compensate the 120M AI that LTWYL has on radios....
