In The Zone era sized is coming!
Flop Lead Single
Huge 2nd & Hit 3rd Single
Forgettable Last Single!
Except MATM wasn't a flop lead single. The video was #1 in TRL for many weeks (which was VERY popular in America back then) and the song hit #1 WW. Don't let the BB charts (which were only based on radio play) fool you on the success of the song.
I wish people would stop worrying about first week.. how it does in the long run will determine the singles fate, now how much it sells in it's first week, or where it debuts at..
