Here's some MATHS:
So, as a starting point, let's assume fun. is on track to sell 350K.
Then, say Bieber matches them and both Boyfriend and We Are Young are at 100%. A 2% gain over it would leave BF at 100% and WAY at 98%. Fun. would would be on track to sell 350K, so Bieber would now be on track to sell 357,142 copies, an increase of 7,142 copies in his projected sales or 7,142/350,000=2.04%.
Now, let's consider a 2% gain when Fun. drops from 38% to 36%. When Fun. is at 38%, Bieber's projected sales are (100/38)*(350,000)=897,435. When Fun. is at 36%, Bieber's projected sales are (100/36)*(350,000)=972,222, an increase of 74,787 copies or 8.3%.
So, gains at this point are MASSIVE. Him gaining 2% now is the equivalent of Fun. dropping from about 100 to 82.4%.
