And any singles, lead singles especially, debuting below 100k looks even more tragic and weak.

They're perfectly fine. I don't know why people freak out about this every year at this time.

The Monster deserves the crown this week, c'mon dethrone Royals

Some of you all really need to stop with this "low sales" thing. It's been a trend for years, and 2013 isn't any different.

The Queen of Pop, her yearly releases and collabs, and even covers of her songs SLAYING like there's no tomorrow

[Superiore]

So Applause must be #11, if it wasn't for the Voice's performance it would've been Top 10 on Digital again

Almost sure that Royals will snatch another week but TM may have a little possibility!

It's so hilarious when these girls pretend the 4 era and all its flops didn't happen.

Hope Monster is #1 this week.

The fact that Rihanna is #1 for the third consecutive year, and this current #1 sold more than any #1 in the last years.

Weak they said.



btw I don't think The Monster is #1 this week, but next week is very likely.

No
11 is Hold On We're Going Home. Applause will again lose some part of sales to complete my album. It may be 13 - 15

Well considering it's still selling well above some of the others' debut singles first week sales in its THIRD week, I'd say no.

[fridayteenage]

Christina from #1 download to out of the T10. How very 1D of her.

Applause is actually close to 0 sales due to the 'complete my album' iTunes feature.

Didn't the CMA feature already affected it last week?

[Eternium]

Congrats to "Roar"
Pretty soon it should be 4x platinum.

[liberalmusiclover]

If The Monster is #1 they'll probably wait all damn day to post it to make a big deal about it being Rihanna's 13th #1 and tying Michael Jackson.

So Stefani doesn't have any song above Legend X on the Digital Charts even though Stefani was in an album release week? Even when X predates the digital era? Really? A mess.

I think The Monster has it in the bag.

Last Week Lorde had 11% lead over Em/Ri with royals dropping 3% and Monster rising 4%.

If not this week then next week. I do want royals to get to #1 again in the future.
