They messed up HIAM and TTWE's releases big time! The UK is a completely different market! A song needs a video in rotation for a couple of weeks before it's release on iTunes, and then it will get an amazing peak! Even the hype and a Grammy performance didn't make BTW debut at #1 as it didn't have a video and follow the UK's chart plan!
HIAM was suppose to be released in the UK mid February, which was perfect as the video would of been out, and it would of got a top 3 peak easily! Yet fans complained, Jive released it earlier, and yeah!

If they'd have released it on a Sunday evening and made it available without that stupid album pre-order scheme it would have gone top 15 at least in it's debut week. It spend so long at #11 on iTunes. They messed up the HIAM release too.
