Yes. I hate how people are saying MMH was a flop because it wasn't as big as BBP or IGF. Well if we want to base what's a hit on that, then LoveGame and Paparazzi are flops as well. Hell, so is Like a Boy, Promise, and Get Up. Don't Tell Me, My Happy Ending, Sk8er Boi, When You're Gone, all flops. Please Don't Leave Me, Sober, Funhouse, flops. If It's Lovin' That You Want, Shut Up and Drive, Hate That I Love You, Russian Roulette, big flops. Me Against the Music, Piece of Me, Brak the Ice, Radar, If U Seek Amy, flopity flop flop!
Jeeze, people, get it together. Those songs you're comparing them to were SMASHES, not hits. There's a difference. SMASHES are songs that were BIGGER than hits. Hits are hits, smashes are smashes! MMH was a hit. BBP and IGF were smashes.
It's already been said, but I'll say it again. "Meet Me Halfway" is a worldwide hit, and Top 10 with longevity in the states, selling 1.2 million thus far. Obviously it's not the smash of the first two singles, but doesn't mean it hasn't done well. You're basically implying "Imma Be" will spend 12-14 weeks at #1 and be as huge as the first two singles, which I highly doubt.
Kworb honey, you are a little ahead of yourself. I too hope that it becomes a hit, but come on. 
I guess wishful thinking does help though.
