I'm not talking as if promoting is a bad thing. More like the other way around. MR wouldn't have been that high without promo.
I just stated that she has made promo and that the discount alone is not making it go to #1 because as we have seen, many discounted songs have shoot up straight to the top 5 on iTunes.
And yes, there are countries outside the US, but people are mostly talking about US iTunes right now.
