When you preorder an album on iTunes, you're "instantly gratified" the singles that are available in advance (in this case, it's "Hello"). As a "consequence," this will count toward an album sale and not toward the single sales.
She should still be able to snatch Flo-Rida's record with the instant grats not counted. 200k pre-orders means she's at around 550k pure single sales...with 4 days to go

She needs to sell 150k in 4 days.
That's 40k per day, she'll snatch Florida.

Did they have preorders back in 2001 when Britney set the first week record?
Someone educate me, I'm pressed!
Umm in 2001 everyone was buying music instead of illegally downloading it like they do know. Having preorders make the level field even
2001 had a healthy sales climate, even the number 10 on the sales list were over 100k, kinda sad really when u can be number one with less than 100k today.
in only 3 days 
If anything she probably doubled their record.
