It needs 638,000 more sales to reach 3M. Because it should be falling down again after the movie/holiday boost is over with, we might expect a pace of 10k a week or so once we get into January. So say it sells 35k/week for the next 6 weeks (till the New Year), and then it sells around 10k/week for the next 2 months. It'd still be 348,000 short of the mark, and it would be selling less and less. And we also have to factor in that sales of current singles are down almost 40% year-over-year, and the decline is just becoming steeper. This situation is just like how Hello will never reach 5M and Closer will never reach 3M.

I'm thinking it's totally within reach
its longevity on iTunes was insane (doubt it's just going to die all of a sudden) before the movie which came out just a week ago and it will get more boosts from the DVD/Blu-ray release next year as well as the awards season
and Can't Stop the Feeling! is holding up WAY better than Hello
day 192
#7 Can't Stop the Feeling!
#107 Hello
Hello kind of died fast... spent just 23 weeks on Digital Songs, couldn't even outlast Skyfall and barely beat Rumor Has It
