But if the #1 sold 2M while the #2 will sell over 5M like Dynamite, then the #2.

You're thinking about it the right way.
It's more complicated than it seems.
Rude Boy spent 5 weeks at #1 but just passed 2.5 million. If anyone ever tried to say it was bigger than Bad Romance they'd think you're crazy. BR sold almost twice as much & frankly it's just obvious.
Meanwhile, HSS peaked even lower than BR, yet sold more than it. You could argue whether BR or HSS had more of an overall impact, it's not clear at all.
