Oh God, looks like Katy is going to give another overplayed radio headache again. I honestly don't see her appeal. It's a shame that we've gone from talent such as Mariah and Brandy who've had 3 consecutive #1s to people like Katy who are doing the same thing.
Well part of the reason TTWE fell was because each pre-order was a download of the song, so it was clear more people were getting the song because of the pre-order and not just buying it by itself.
I think its a little underwhelming, I cant remember. Loud went to #5 pre-orders, and then around the time it was gonna be released went back into the Top 10. It really depends. For pop artists, you want their pre-orders to be high, but Urban artists always get the physical sales.
I remember when people thought BTW would be a ww record breaking smash. Yeah right. It didn't even do that good in Serbia, Egypt, and Poland among others. Firework owned that song. No hate.
