BELIEBE IT OR NOT: Justin Bieber’s "Boyfriend" has sold nearly 300k this week and has already surpassed his best-ever first week of 199k for "Baby" in 2010. "Boyfriend" is projected to sell 400-450k for the week, which would be one of the Top 5 digital downloads total of all time. (3/28a)
So if he sells 400k+ and has that good amount of airplay... He can't go #1?
@Peep Show explain this to me please...
Fun. sold 387K last week, let's say they sell the same amount this week, we would have something like this
387 + 140m AI (airplay tracking ends on tuesday and they've been getting 4m+ updates for the past few days) = 527 and don't forget spotify and other streaming sites that count for Billboard hot 100.
So if Justin sells 450K this week, he would need 80m AI to even come close to them. I just don't see it happening.

I was listening the Dance Again snippet, accidentaly listened Boyfriend snippet. And i realised that his voice changed a lot?! I checked it like who is this? Hes growing up i guess. Anyway the song is not that bad

Fun. won't sell 387K this week. Maybe 350K, but some predictions are showing less than that. Their airplay also won't be 140M, it'll be closer to 110 because of the disparity between Mediabase and what Billboard uses.
I hope his airplay holds up over the next few days, so he has something left after rolling. He needs a promo performance on TV and a trending topic on Twitter. He needs to keep #1 exposure for a bit longer, especially so he'll hold up over the weekend when more sales take place.

I know my predictions were pretty rough and I didn't know that Billboard wasn't using mediabase for their charts. It's going to be very close, the timing is just horrible, WAY's domination was so unexpected

He still can have the #1 later if he promotes it and if the song doesn't have the same destiny as Give Me All Your Luvin' towards the radios (no shade).
choreo, I hope they put some dance break in the video version it would be epic
