1 million sales in opening week is something out of this world. It's certainly benefeting from being lead single.

Hello is no more mediocre than Someone Like You and that one smashed.
And of course hype has a lot to do it with it. But like someone mentioned, Born This Way is the perfect example of how things can go south after the hype sales are over.
Hello is still not done yet so you don't know for sure if it's truly gonna stand out beyond the lead single hype. It's safe to say that Roar did more than just sell because it's a lead single. After all, it is her biggest hit.
