It can't be only that.

I'm thinking she'll be around 750K worldwide, so she should get more than 500.000 points. Like I've said before, I've been waiting for a #1 debut there for ages.

That's a little bit too much. Not more than 650k is my prediction.

Her only problem could be Black Eyed Peas but that will be after 2 weeks.

The Time won't be a problem. The big problem is Grenade knowing that it will have a big debut in the UK and in Germany is also #1 in itunes

Since the digital era began, they've been screwing her over.
Quote:
Circus - Britney Spears = 3.372.000
If U Seek Amy - Britney Spears = 1.307.000

I don't understand how these two have so little points. I'm looking at their weekly chart runs and I don't get it.
And how these have so many:
Quote:
Don't Let Me Be The Last To Know - Britney Spears = 1.561.000
Overprotected - Britney Spears = 2.145.000
Boys - Britney Spears & Pharrell Williams = 1.021.000
My Prerogative - Britney Spears = 2.321.000
Do Somethin' - Britney Spears = 1.128.000

Well seeing thses past peaks of Circus tracks in Europe, they were pretty much a flop at least there, excepting for Womanizer
I think CIrcus was only big in USA and Canada. I don't know its run in Australia tho

Definitely. Given the fact there are more charts today than there was before 2005, I'd expect nothing but massive numbers.
Gimme More should be at 6 million, Womanizer @ 8 million, POM @ 5 million, Circus @ 6.
 ****ers.
