In fairness to said naysayers, Bieber has still only been around for a little over two years, much like Kesha. I mean, fads can certainly last a while.
I fully expected JB to go #1 once he was released to iTunes, maybe not this quickly but still getting there. But whoever thinks this has any sort of chance at #1 on the Hot 100 is truly delusional...350K in a week? Don't make me laugh...
