But sales are sales.

Oh wow.

Do labels decide the release dates for new songs that appear on iTunes?

It's moving up.

A mess, and I just saw on Google that through a major distributor your music can be on iTunes within a matter of weeks.

This is definitely a PR stunt.

I've gotten used to him self-sabotaging himself for the past year so I knew it was only a matter of time until he did something like this to screw up his "comeback" and lose respect again.

I wonder if this will make blogs. It seems like no one cares or are aware that Chris Brown has a new single out. I wonder what Perez would say. lolz

[arkman]

^ But it's not a new single though. 'Deuces' has been out for 2 months, video a month. Label chose to jump on it now have the buzz to capitalize on it.

[Cap10Planet]

That's even worse. Yikes. I didn't know that. I thought it was just a mixtape song that he made a video to.

This actually seems to not be doing to bad. I wonder if people have seriously forgiven him and are giving him another chance.

How is it doing on iTunes?

[iLays]

They knew what tha hell they were doing. They had his performance scheduled for weeks and had a set date for iTunes to add tha song to see if it would be successful. No one's dumb

If this whole thing really was planned, that's kind of....shallow. Oh, that's the music industry for ya.

But expected.

How well did "Crawl" and "Transform You" perform on iTunes? What were their peaks?

^ I don't think so. Remember his Sweet Sixteen episode? He was going to get a call from Michael Jackson, and the boy freaked out. He was almost crying and he was talking about how much he loved MJ, I don't think this is fake. I think it's from his heart.

I wish people would stop talking about his career redeeming, this one single isn't gonna determine that. "I Can Transform Ya" & songs off Graffiti all did good on iTunes and look at his album sales.

He was giving a tribute. Why can't people see that? It's not his fault Jive or whoever his team is wants to get money off of it.

BTW, How much singles do you need to sell if you want to move one place up in iTunes?

I don't think anyone is denying Chris's feelings for Michael as an idol, but we're wondering if his label is trying to capitalize off this. This is too convenient.

The song was just leaked first. It was the 3rd song that got leaked before the mixtape dropped.
