Okay.
Katy Perry released her song "Roar" when Robin Thicke's song "Blurred Lines" was #1 on iTunes.
Lady Gaga released her song a day later as Katy's song had established a 40% lead over the #2 song ("Blurred Lines").
Lady Gaga is at 54% after about 10 hours of release up against a brand new single that has a 40% lead over last week's HDS #1, which sold probably around 350k itself.
Not only does this 54% in 10 hours mean Gaga is selling faster than Katy, but also Katy managed to post GAINS over the rolling effect, which means that she is still increasing in sales... with Gaga increasing even faster and having sold more since it's release. You will not see Gaga at #1 yet solely because iTunes shows the top sellers for the last 24 hours, while Gaga has only even been out for 10.
It is unrealistic to expect her to have gone to #1 as fast as with BTW, and it's illogical to say it's underperforming (just in case anyone was going to throw that word out there yet).
Maybe it's a glitch.
