It was a suggestion, no need to throw shade.
And I think you, as a Belieber, would agree that peaks don't mean ****.

And you didn't get my point whatsoever. How can streaming possibly reflect sales when there's no money being exchanged? It can't. It's a whole different entity entirely (and one that will become more popular over time, if it hasn't become so already). It's an unfair comparison to make.



It's nice to have one, sure, but it's not essential. Led Zeppelin never had a #1 single. The Who never even had a top ten single.

Although you are correct about Zeppelin you are wrong about the Who they had "I can see for Miles" reach #9 on the Hot 100 I know unrelated to the discussion

Times are different now though. You mentioning big names. Different stories.
Now a #1 single is kind of important

I mean let's face it after this single Fun. would probably vanish. They are not building a fan base. They are just having a successful single.
JB on the other hand has a huge fan base and will continue doing well.
So at the end of the day you can be happy for now, but JB will remain more successful and going gold in a week is something not seen very often these days.

Who knows? "Some Nights" may be a hit and I think it has anything to do being a 1-hit-wonder or not you know, maybe If his handlers have put more integrity to his work instead of being desperate to hit #1 with a chep, mediocre half-assed song it may been worth to top the charts.

I'm just astonished at the mediocrity, 2:53 lenght, horrible lyrics, rip-off beat. It was a bad song at least "Sexy and I Know It" was a great at parties and to have fun.

A good example for today would be Taylor or Bieber himself album sales are >>>> than single sales. Probably Mumford and Sons is the best example since I don't think they even have a top 40 hit

How the hell was he desperate? Did he discount it? Did he remix it? he tweeted about it like every other popstar and made a short video, y'all do too much

My God.
I was defending Justin Bieber from the haters, but as far as I can see, you're hating on everyone, come on, just relax.

Are you kidding me? the song is actually really good compared to most songs played on radio. But again it's a matter of opinion.
I mean I know people who absolutely hate JB but surprisingly like this track
And of course there are the usual haters who just can't handle his success

[WarriorQueen]

I was gonna go on a rant, but I don't want anymore points. Congrats to Fun. I guess.

I need the receipts because Selena is the only artist I shaded in this thread (and I didn't lie)

[annashaus]

omg that's actually sad

[ZachM]

Oh my god, 90% of the tweets from the trending topic are from Beliebers. I'm dying. They're hilarious.

Justin is desperate, WTF?? you want my hand in your face ??

Justin Is Desperate? That's totally why he skips out on having fun to work in the Studio on his album.

if justin is desperate, why has he been dating salena? uhhh, yeah okayy. i dont think so. hes nothing like that<3

Justin Is Desperate? at least he donates LOTS of the money from his singles to charities

Just some of my faves.

I meant on the other ATRLers.
You've been fighting since a week ago, just relax, let them hate, that won't hurt Justin, he's got his #02, it's a GOOD DEBUT, there are thousands of artists that wish to reach the Top Ten at least.

I don't really see what's funny about it, the little monsters made it trend so obviously some of them are gonna be pissed.

Ah, that's right, I forgot about "Miles". Thanks for that.

Another interesting fact: The Who and Zeppelin both had one top ten hit each. Bieber already has one more than The Who and Zeppelin COMBINED.

Two counter-points: Susan Boyle and Michael Buble. I know that they're not conventional big music names when compared to Rihanna/Britney/Gaga/KP/etc., but Boyle has sold about 20 million albums worldwide and Buble 30. Have either even came CLOSE to a #1 hit? Not even.

#1 singles are important, absolutely. But they are not even the be-all/end-all now.

Oh, and while times ARE different now, it's not as if being #1 wasn't important then, either. In fact, when it comes to the Hot 100 during their era, sales were the only thing taken into account. Radio did not impact the Hot 100 until decades later, and streaming...well, obviously.
