"HIAM" should've sold more as a first single, but we clearly saw there was no public interest. Plus it peaking on radio in just 6-7 weeks. "TTWE" has sold pretty good, IMO. It spent a lot of time in the Top 10 of iTunes (combined + original), and seems like it'll hold up as it falls back for "IWG (not speeding down to #600 like HIAM). It'll be 2 million next month, just behind some other big Pop songs (besides Katy).
"I Wanna Go"..it's too early to call. But it being Top 150 on iTunes with such little airplay is a good sign that it will have great digital legs. Wait til the spins really begin to spark & the eventual video.
I think what they've sold should be expected. You were an advocate in calling this album a flop and the singles, now you suddenly think they should have been bigger?
The interest for Britney right now is moderate. We should take these successes, especially in comparison to that of sales like "Judas" or "Run This World".
and im sure you do it in the Britney voice too! 
I don't regret it being a single though, it is amazing & I honestly couldn't see it just being an album track.
I'm sure people will be saying it should have been way bigger two years from now - Just like what happened to the iconic "I'm A Slave 4 U".
