I didn't mean the day the song was released as in leaked and sent to radio, I mean the day the song was released to iTunes. It hit #1 the same day.
And the AMA performance only boosted it to 227k.....not 350k. lmfao.
Single Ladies first 3 sales week went like this:
204k (#1 digital, #2 Hot 100)
227k (#1 digital, #1 Hot 100, AMA performance boost)
159k (#1 Hot 100, #2 digital)
It was held back for about 4 weeks before iTunes release, but that was common practice back then. Just like how releasing songs immediately to iTunes has become common practice nowadays.
This start is very dissapointing no matter how you try to spin it. I can only pray the video/performance fixes this.
