It won't affect our #1 because it took too long for the song to blow up. If anything, WTH may be in trouble of losing that #2 spot if H.A.M. keep growing. The digital #1 and possible Hot 100 is a lock for Britney in my opinion. She banked too much in sales the first couple of days to have her #1 in danger.

I kinda feel the same way bb. I mean I still like GaGa -- but a lot of things from her and her fans have turned me away a bit. Hopefully BTW can reel me back in.

All of this amazing press to use against the pressed. .

I see you saved the most epic avies for your highness.

Here is the digital update for this past week
Things are looking up for Hold It Against Me's chart debut

Meanwhile, over on the Digital Songs chart, Bruno Mars' "Grenade" continues to hold at No. 1 for a fourth week in a row, shifting 275,000 (down 35%). Katy Perry's "Firework" also maintains its position at No. 2 (230,000; down 42%). Enrique Iglesias' "Tonight (I'm Lovin' You)" rises two to No. 3 (192,000; down 29%), Wiz Khalifa's "Black and Yellow" is up three to No. 4 (186,000; down 29%), and the Black Eyed Peas' "The Time (Dirty Bit)" climbs three to No. 5 (181,000; down 30%). Ke$ha's "We R Who We R" drops three to No. 6 (174,000; down 46%), Lil Wayne's "6 Foot 7 Foot" rises five spots to No. 7 (160,000; down 12%), and P!nk's "Raise Your Glass" slips four to No. 8 (158,000; down 42%). Closing out the top 10 is Rihanna's "What's My Name?," down three to No. 9 (150,000; down 43%) and Taio Cruz's "Dynamite," up three to No. 10 (125,000; down 31%).

Firework and Grenade are decreasing in digital sales and it looks like they will continue this trend this week too. Hopefully HIAM will be able to nab 300,000+ in digital downloads to get that number one on lock!

Wow, HAM is moving up pretty fast but I'm not too worried. I don't think it has had the hype or promotion to really propel it yet (or maybe I'm just not looking hard enough).

^^it's only up at 41. And if anything it will do what Power and Runaway did for Kanye. Go pretty high on the iTunes charts but not make it to the top and steadily fall back down.

I know it is moving up fast, but they are a feat of powerful acts, Kanye and Jay-Z...

Let's wait and see, nothing else we can do...

that's why they're supposed to ask for different transactions. Girls, y'all better not make this mistake.

I'll be buying...

standard edition X2
Deluxe edition x2

Standard digital
Deluxe digital.

HAM looks like it's gonna do better than any of Kanye's single releases from the album Must be the Jay-Z effect.

What I love with Britney is that she never jumps on any bandwagon to one up her "rivals" (she doesn't have any actually; her place in pop music and pop culture is unique), she just does her thing and it always works.

Grenade will most likely sell over 200k again this week.

HAM is climbing fast but it's not a midnight release, it's both kanye and jay-z onit. But i'am not too worried, i doubt it will get into the top 3 let alone take britneys postion, i see it going top 5 and like power start falling down again.

I am not seeing Britney stans freaking out about ****ing Kanye West.

Y'all embarrass yourselves sometimes....

I tweeted my DJ in DC to play HIAM and he did within 5 minutes.

Good work.

I begged my mom to blast it in her car on the way to school, and now she is hooked on the song

I don't want to see that rage.

Your mother is amazing.
