"I Wanna Go" is also at 964,000, not barely 900k. It'll pass 1 million this week, and eventually make it to 1.4 million when you're no longer paying attention to it. It's not necessarily all about positivity, just using some common sense...as I'm one of the first to be real about a situation. You're just overtly negative about everything, and don't take any time to really think about the situation. "IWG" can make 1.4 million in 2-3 months even if lingering in the 50s. I'll agree with you if it's not Top 300 by September.

I don't recall myself talking about TTWE reaching 2 million or not. I did talk about it NOT passing HIAM
before the remix was released, but hey, you gotta give on that one.
And I'm not overtly negative, I'm just being real. The single is almost 3 months old, airplay didn't exactly help its sales, so with new songs and VMA effects in full charge - remember it was #18 last night and it's now about to fall to #23, so what should we expect? For it to out of nowhere go back to the Top 10 in order to sell 100k again? I don't think so.
I use TTWE as an example. By the last time it was inside the Top 30 it had sold about 2.1 million. After it fell and hang around the Top 50 for a few weeks it managed to pass the 2.2 million mark. Can you tell me what's that? Cause all I see is a hundred thousand copies, maybe a bit more. Now explain to me how you expect IWG to sell - let's give you an advantage of over 200k copies being sold during September - 200k copies after we have a new single being "promoted" on radio and video? Yeah, that's what I thought.
