Yea I think Glamorous was "smashing" (hovering in the lower rungs of the iTunes top 100) prior to its radio release, so it was destined to be a big hit. The label probably wasn't expecting it to get such a big boost on iTunes after the video dropped, so that's probably why they decided to do it for that specific instance.
There's a post somewhere on UKMix that showed that her album sales were increasing whenever her label would make her singles "album only."
obviously, in today's music climate, it wouldn't have much of an effect at all.
