"Just Dance" sold 420k during XMAS week, in JANUARY, 3 months after "Womanizer" debuted. Not a "few weeks". And that was because of not only Xmas time & gift cards as we are in now, her song was just beginning to blow up. If "Womanizer" had released during that time, it would've sold big numbers as well. So you fail trying to compare & downplay.
286k is not just a "big deal". It broke a 1st-week record, the song was getting amazing reviews, people loved it. Of course there was hype, what you expect there not to be any?
GaGa was very much unknown and "Just Dance" blew up. Now she is another artist who gets a hit out the box when its first released. And I hope you're not implying "Womanizer" plummeted down the charts.  It stayed in the Top 10 for MONTHS, as did "Circus" & "3".
You're such a stan, I love it.  |
Christmas or not, Britney didn't match Womanizer's first week sales with any of her later singles, not even close, what does that tell you? that the comeback hype had a lot to do with Womanizer first week sales. Circus was out in December, why did it not sell +400k like Just Dance? because no one cared. I'm not downplaying anything lol simply laughing at your absurd comment that Britney can ~easily sell +400k, when she obviously can't, she couldn't last time when everyone knew she was coming back.
Nah, Gaga's Bad Romance opened with only 142k downloads but went on to sell 4.3 million. Womanizer on the other hand only sold 2.7 million after such a big opening week. Can you spot the difference?
I knew you would all have fun with that one. As much as I love Ashley I thought it would lighten the mood with a little humor
