True. It's all about timing. If WRWWR had been released right after it premiered even it would've struggled to pass Like a G6 to top the Hot 100. The digital release was perfect, it had moderate airplay support by then & Like a G6 has died down a bit. WMN?'s numbers typically wouldn't put it at #1 (being a new song & all), but the release week worked out in its favor.
Competition & timing is everything when it comes to topping the Hot 100.
