If you are unimpressed with 90k, perhaps you should have a look at the 130k BTW did in its second week...

This is the most idiotic and ignorant thing I have ever read. You must know
nothing about South Korea. First of all, don't put IWG's success down. It has not been released as an official single anywhere; it's simply achieving success and recognition in South Korea. Nice try, though.
And second of all, I wasn't putting Gaga down. However, you guys are complimenting her sales to such a high extent when 90k isn't that great, especially in comparison to a
non-single, IWG's, sales. Plus, calling South Korea a xenophobic market is totally prejudiced and misinformed. In no way is South Korea xenophobic; just because international artists have to work a bit to catch on in South Korea doesn't mean it's xenophobic. It's just that, unlike other countries, they have a huge amount of their own stars, and most Koreans prefer their own groups like 2NE1 and Big Bang to foreigners that don't even care to promote anything of theirs in Korea.

Yes, "Till the World Ends" is a single, but I was speaking of IWG. Want to stay on topic next time?
