Only because fun. is as strong.

Yep. I didn't feel like doing their entire runs, though. The sales are self-explanatory to afterwards.

Yeah, out of the #1 debuts, We R Who We R was the biggest single. (in the US).

Yep, I skipped the main reason.

What about Not Afraid?

I think overall, second-best.

But "Candle In The Wind" and "One Sweet Day" performed much better, if I recall.

Of course "Candle In The Wind" was the biggest #1 debut of all-time, It was certified 11x platinum but in the digital era I think is "Not Afraid" which is over 4 million...

So "Boyfriend" has the #1 debut on lock? damn

I thought "We R Who We R" sold more than "Born This Way"

It has.. We R Who We R has sold 3.6M..

And "One Sweet Day" still being the most sucessful single that debuted at #1.. I'm gonna make a list

The biggest #1 debut of the digital era is Flo Rida's "Right Round" with 636,000 copies. If you mean sales, that is "I Gotta Feeling" with 7,770,000 million.

And yes, sorry I didn't see the January 2012 update for it. It has sold 3.640 million.

I think I worded it wrong lol The #1 debut on the Hot 100 that sold most in the long run!

Yeah! WRWWR topped the 3 milli mark in March 2011 no way it didn't sold anything else.

I think he is talking about songs have debuted directly at #1.. And "Right Round" didn't do it..

So yes, for the best selling single that have debuted at #1.. Not Afraid is the winner then

Oh okay, got it.

Can't wait until the sales report is released.

Almost three months in the top 10 after debuting at the top? I don't see what your longevity means but in general, THAT is longevity. It looked like it free fell but it hold on to the top 10 very strong.

The only Britney songs that didn't really have that much longevity in her modern eras were Gimme More and Hold It Against Me. We wouldn't count Radar and Criminal since they were both destined to flop.

Circus, Womanizer, 3, Till The World Ends and I Wanna Go had amazing longevity.

If U Seek Amy & Piece of Me were top 20 hits that have eventually sold 1 million copies.
IUSA spent 21 weeks in the Hot 100 and I think Piece of Me spent 18 weeks which is not bad.

Break The Ice tho.. I have no excuse for that

The pattern you are talking about is invalid since 'Gimme More', a lead single underperformed while 'Womanizer' did amazing as well as '3'. I don't know what pattern you're talking about or maybe you're just reaching too much.

This is unlikely, but I really hope he doesn't get it.

I mean, Boyfriend is more deserving than every other one of his songs, but i hope it gets the #2

The drop wasn't as big.
