It was going to pass it. The remix is helping it achieve it faster, but it isn't the reason why it would/will. And it's not on it's way down the digital chart. It only fell out the Top 10 on Easter due to Selena Gomez & Tinie Tempah, and was steady at #11-#13 before the remix came and made it decline. It was steady in the Top 10 even after the video effect wore off, and during the entire "S&M (Remix)" release week.

Dear Ricardo, that's what I said.

It only gained because of Easter week, otherwise it would have probably sold around the 100k mark or even less - the usual number for a non-holiday week.
It's looking steady? Yes, it was/is. But to bet on Easter numbers to build a comparison on how it would keep selling for the next 3 weeks when there's NOTHING to back it up it's just silly. So, IMO, for a song that was falling - it even dropped to #15 before the remix came out and it would certainly be lower than that
right now due to Glee - to go from 900k to 1.3 million wouldn't be as "on lock" as some were saying.
In other words, I'm not saying it would be impossible to beat 'HIAM' sales, but it's only a SURE-THING because of the remix. But hey, that's just me.
