Top 5 on airplay, top 3 on pop radio and sold 1.5 digital downloads in the US. Skrillex can't even get their song in the top 60 on iTunes. Or even get radios to play it.

HIAM is not even dubstep. A 2 second breakdown, while the other 3 minutes are typical mechanisms of Dr. Luke (top 40 hit maker), does not grant the song any ground to be credited as 'dubstep' - let alone as the song that created this massive Dubstep wave (as though everyone is suddenly doing it). In the back burner to this electro-wave, Dub has been climbing its way up - as shown by the 60 million views on Skrillrex's YouTube - to match Britney's 70M . To claim that Britney brought it to everyone's attention is ridiculous, considering A) The attention had already been drawn and B) Britney is NOT dub.

Exactly. What predominantly dubstep song/album has gained huge airplay numbers or platinum sales? None. Yet we still say dubstep has become popular in the mainstream, because it is hugely recognized by the public as a great new musical style.
