I was thinking that too. Selling a million was never hard. Even before the digital boom. Like i said before TOTGA can sell 2 million! WUIV sold 2 mill and TOTGA is already selling a lot better.

But Man Down wasn't released as digital download in the US and it wasn't sent to all formats of radio. Thats where it gets iffy.

WUIV should be at least a 3M seller, if not 4. It's one of my favs.

CKB and MD were like a double a side, MD to urban and CKB to pop, so they more or less count as one singe, like Taylor Swift's Mean/The Story of Us
And YAY! for TOTGAs success! I think it will go on to sell 2m, and eventually 3m, which has GOT to be a record!!

Oh the Pop songs. Yea, it did!! I only wish Katy performed the song while it was peaking in AirPlay. Instead they left it out to dry.  that whole era was a mess though.
@Ripedie, if it goes 3X plat it would be a record! Not sure about. 2X maybe...

I think it will, her singles have had GREAT longetivity! Firework keeps peeping back into the itunes to 100, and LFN is showing more longetivity than I thought! And TOTGA has much more longetivity potential than LFN, By this time next year I think ET will be 5x, TD will be on its way there, LFN will be close to 4m and TOTGA could be 3m!

YES it was! that was because HNC and WUIV music videos were released WAY too soon, which cause digital sales to peak WAY before airplay peak

i agree LFN will be close to 4M and TD will be still climbing towards its 5M, BUT E.T. will definitly be 5M, and TOTGA will definitly be a low 3M when you add in all its remixs!!!

I think Firework will be 6X. Her next two singles off her next album could do it too. She's coming for Gagas wig. 
Some of the things you said might take longer than a year...

True, FW and HnC could be 6 plat, and her next lead single is guaranteed to do close to that

Not just that but the album was released way too early. TOY should never have been a single. WUIV should have been the 3rd single. IYCAM should have been the 4th. If they really wanted a 5th than One Of The Boys. Ur So Gay shouldn't have been a promo single, let alone on the album. Plus, how much an when she performed her songs were a mess too! ESP for the last two singles.

Idk about HNC it took 3 years to sell 5 plat. CG might do it after awhile. It did sell over 600k this year.
