Nobody said anything about limiting it to US sales. It's just that the conversation was about US sales so it doesn't make sense to suddenly bring up unrelated WW figures
Anyway, WW single sales:
2005 - 419 million (353 million from the US)
2012 - 2297 million (5.48x as big)
Hollaback Girl sold around 1.42 million worldwide in 2005, adjusted to 2012 that would be 7.8 million. 7.8 million for a digital monster like Hollaback Girl is perfectly reasonable
And iHype already explained to you in the most layman's terms why it obviously can't work for physical cd singles unlike digital singles
