Over on the Digital Songs chart, last week's No. 1, Britney Spears' "Hold It Against Me," slips to No. 3 with 183,000 (down 55%). She's replaced atop the list by a familiar face, as Mars' "Grenade" returns to the top (204,000; down 7%). Wiz Khalifa's "Black and Yellow" rises 3-2 (201,000; up 6%), Enrique Iglesias' "Tonight (I'm Lovin' You)" climbs 5-4 (167,000; down 8%), and Perry's "Firework" falls 4-5 (163,000; down 11%).
Bruno needs to be destroyed, and Britney needs to promote. I think her airplay will help her drop to 4, not that big of a fall!

omg, 183,000? kind of embarrassing
even if she sold 411K last week i thought she'd sell AT LEAST 230K this week!
not happy britney, not happy AT ALL.
but HEY, we're GOLD already! hehe.
BRITNEYY GET YOUR LILY WHITE SOUTHERN ASS AND PROMOTE!!!!!!!!!!!!
There are plans of opening an iTunes store for the Middle East by the end of 2011. We'll show y'all how it's DONE. I'm going to make Hold It Against Me go #1 in 2012.
I don't think it's that shocking, but maybe that is just me. Her sales are around to what they usually are at this time of year, it will go up once her video get released and we get a little promo. She'll be platinum in probably 2-3 weeks!
Only 126 spins from Top 20 with Twista & Nicki Minaj falling at #22 and #20, while Keri's "Pretty Girl Rock" has half "HIAM" bullet at #21. This song is easily reaching the Top 15 with no competition behind her, and plenty of songs she can beat ahead.
And the 183k is just a bad looking number. 55% is not a terrible second week drop for a song that has only been exposed 1-2 weeks. Sales will fall again next week, but clearly we're stable until the video/promo begins. Which at this point she MIGHT have another chance at a second week at #1.

Aside from the fact I was expecting it to stay at #1 this week, the 55% drop is more than acceptable. In all honesty, considering the very front-loaded 1st week numbers and how 'Grenade' gained on 'HIAM' and passed it Friday, I thought it was going to drop 60%.
Right now I'm thinking 110-120k for next week's chart.

When the iTunes store opens for Music sales in Brazil WE will show everyone what really means being a Britney fan.
It is not a disappointment..you cannot compare "HIAM" to her last 3 iTunes debuts.
Exactly, her previous #1 debuts were all released during or close to the Holidays, so there is a BIG difference on how songs perform if they are not getting loads of promo.
hehe.
I just want a performance or a Britney appearance somewhere.
