NO. Her biggest hit is 'Hot n Cold'. Song topped Russian Airplay Chart (TopHit). Also her 'One Of The Boys' era was really sucessful there.
But after her video with 'Please God Not Russia!' some people began hating her. Including Russian Little Monsters, cuz Katy snatch more sales with 'Roar' than Gaga with 'Applause'.
If Beiber sold 500k and was blocked by a song that wasnt nearly as huge as BL then I doubt Roar will it'll have to take a miracle but even if it doesn't she'll get there eventually
Maybe Katy isn't doing so well in Russia because Vladimir Putin is chasing the gays around with his machete and they have no time to check iTunes on their iPhone 3's when they're hiding in the gutters of Moscow.

"Boyfriend" would've EASILY debuted at #1 with the inclusion of Youtube. But you're right, this won't be #1 this week.
All these excuses about Applauses sales compared to Roar. A mess.
Being released prematurely is not an excuse. Our fav had "California Gurls" released early and it sold 294,000 digital downloads in its first week and Katy was not nearly the star she is now.
