				I mean, Beyonce has done or said nothing since the song came out, nor has her team tweeted about it or promoted it for her. Katy Perry & Rihanna has been on american Idol & tweeting about their singles like they're just a local celebrity or something. Promo vs. No Promo, who comes out on top?

 I really don't mean to be disrespectful with this post but that is not a valid argument in any sense. Just based off of the first singles when none of the pop stars were promoting their stuff, they all skyrocketed to the top of iTunes and that list includes...
Rihanna - Only Girl (In the World)
Katy Perry - California Gurls
Ke$ha - We R Who We R
Lady GaGa - Born this Way
And even with the no promo argument it does not explain why the song wasn't able to crack #1 and has now slipped to #23. I do believe Bey stans are more the physical purchasers and that will come through when it comes time for album release but I'm just saying based off her name alone she should still be in the top 10 at the least. Promo or none because the other girls didn't start promo when their songs shot to #1 on iTunes they just released it and then got on their hustles.
