Predict Justin Bieber's Boyfriend 1st week sales

After just a few hours, it is already close to #1 on Itunes....

[iHooker]

The title though.

[EmaciatedHooker]

Since it's having trouble passing WAY three hours after its release, I'm gonna go with around 250k.

[MrMinum]

You can already see the impact.

[Peep Show]

300K

Is this supposed to be an insult? Being at 60+% of WAY after 2 hours and 40 minutes...

2 hours 40 minutes = 160 minutes
3 hours 30 minutes = 210 minutes

Born This Way reaching 100% in February, 2011 ~ 50% of fun.'s current iTunes popularity

60/50 = 120%

So, he's doing something like 120% of Gaga's 210 minute sales 160 minutes into his release.

Who said anything about Born This Way or Gaga?

BF has been out for three hours and 19 minutes and it's at #2, which means it's not selling as much as WAY is. If WAY keeps BF off, Bieber will sell less than WAY's projected 300k+, which is why I said around 250k+.

You and the other 50 people running from thread to thread trying to ensure that her record is safe.

And I am trying to show relative speeds of the two fastest-rising singles of all-time to someone who thinks it's moving slowly.

I'm really not in the mood to elaborate, but the iTunes chart is a rolling chart. Boyfriend is selling way, WAY more than We Are Young second-by-second at the moment.

Seriously, what kind of random math

I never said it was moving slowly and my projection had absolutely nothing to do with anything other than WAY holding Bieber off.

But that is irrelevant as long as WAY remains on top because that means WAY is selling more no matter how fast BF is selling.

It means that WAY has sold more in the rolling period than Boyfriend has...but that Boyfriend is selling many times what WAY is selling per second...

The reason WAY has sold more in the rolling period is because Boyfriend was not released until 3 hours ago.

[Icannot]

The hate for Justin here is intense.

[Peep Show]

Some people just don't get how iTunes works

[staracademy1990]

Hopefully anything 300K+

[IVY]

250,000 or lower he'll not debut at number 1 fun is way a head of him and it's huge right now

Once again, that is irrelevant because as long as WAY remains at the top, it doesn't matter how fast BF is selling. BF will eventually go #1, obviously, but it will have a lot of catching up to do.

Like JB stans who don't get that being at #1 = selling more.

[Dust2]

Just FYI:

Katy Perry Part of Me (7 full days) = 411k
Gaga Born this Way (3 full days?) = 448k ----it was release on Friday
fun "We Are Young" (7 full days) this past week that ended 7 days ago = 349,000

[SixWholeYears]

Only one who can break the record again is the queen herself cause she was born this way.

But it doesn't mean that.

In fact, since it was released 13 minutes after the charts for this week charted it means that Boyfriend has been outselling it many times to one each second of this chart week. AKA Boyfriend has sold more copies than We Are Young for this tracking week, which IS all that matters.
