Yeah, I don't know who reported that post, but a report wasn't necessary.

It got nearly as many streams on YouTube as fun.'s video has since its release. I understand they don't count, but it seems like a miserably misweighted way of evaluating things.

Even with the big radio debut, fun. still had a pretty massive radio advantage (104M audience to 40M for "Boyfriend"). And that's even before you get into the streaming advantage. Yes, streaming did give fun. the ultimate advantage, but Bieber really wasn't leading by THAT much before the streaming was kicked into the equation.
My point still stands: If "Boyfriend" had been released under the same formula against any other song that reached #1 this year (other than, maybe, "We Found Love"), it would have been #1. Easily. Bieber just ran into what could be the biggest hit of 2012.
for the first week of course, IMO, it will have that 500k or more likely first week and will continue to sell with sustainable drops
