If you're going to make a "general public" argument, spend some time in the real world with people who aren't obsessed with her.

The only thing I think they should change, or at least add to, is the tribal beat bridge. That's a turn off even for myself. It's just kind of there, adds very little to the song, and doesn't really fit well in my opinion.
Agreed. Well, the whole "tribal" beat. The likelihood of that happening is slim, though.
Since I'm home sick today and had time on my hands, I decided to compile Kworb's weekly sales predictions for the Prism singles. (Find the archives here.)
WAIT, I finally heard this on the radio! Granted it was at 1am last night while I was driving to Walmart, but still, it was the biggest pop station in the area.
Birthday should already be there with streaming. Since, if I'm correct, the RIAA equates 100 streams with one sale, its US Spotify streams - which are currently at 39,574,374 streams - would equate to about 395,744 sales. Add to that Kworb's sales prediction, and we get 991,744. Add to that the amount of its YouTube views came from the US, and it's definitely reached Platinum. I'm shocked they haven't certified it yet.
They same might be able to be said about This Is How We Do actually. It's US Spotify streams (33,501,612) can be equated to about 335,016 sales. Combined with Kworb's sales predictions, it reaches 636,016. Added with its US YouTube views, it may be at or near Platinum.
I'll need birthday gold and TIHWD platinum or both.

Unconditionally: ~1,100,000

Birthday is already certified Gold, but should be getting a certification for Platinum fairly soon, if her team stays on top of that kind of thing that is. This Is How We Do should be certified Gold already, and just might be able to score Platinum eventually. This is all through the use of streams plus sales, not just sales.

I think we actually got a clip of this in the special features of PoM, her assistant was trying to pull these knee-length leather boots off her because she'd gotten sweaty and it was impossible.
Don't worry sis, she is an angel and her assistant loves her. Why do you think she's been with her for four years straight?
let no mercy be served to my poor soul!
