Again, that's the point of a first single. You want it to be a hit, especially #1.
Yeah, but I miss the days when a first single actually had to work and progress toward reaching number 1, not just shooting to the top immediately and then tapering off week after week. It's so boring that way."Just Dance" earned the top spot in a more authentic way and it was one of the most hard-earned and well-deserved #1's of the last year.
