    But they were hits at the very start of itunes, really. It wasn't until a few years later that online single sales became huge.

    Will Oscar have Riva Fever?

    I think those were both really airplay driven though. "Breakaway" sold more than both and actually "Already Gone" sold higher than all three!

    Great. Now who's going to watch Sunday Rose on SAG night??

    Digital sales weren't anything yet in 2005. Hollaback Girl was the biggest digital single of all time back then by breaking 1m in sales.

    You might think that people would gave gone back and bought them by now, though? It's not like they are songs that everyone has forgotten...

    That's not really how it works for any but the biggest/most enduring hits of any pre-digital era.

    Yeah, I'm not going to re-buy music I have on CD on iTunes. I'll just pop the CD in my computer.

    If memory serves me correctly the best-selling digital singles from before 2000 are Don't Stop Believin, IZ' cover of Over the Rainbow, Eye of the Tiger, Thriller, and Bohemian Rhapsody. May be forgetting some, but those are among the biggest digital catalog sellers, at least.

    I would guess also "All I Want for Christmas is You" by virtue of reentering the iTunes top 100 (and often even 50) every year.

    Ouch. Ke$ha's album is expected to debut at 80-85k. Animal started with 152k...Cannibal with 74k, but that was an EP.

    I personally dislike it, but I thought she had a bigger fanbase than this.

    Alicia just opened to 160k when she'd never had an opening below 400k (aside from her debut) before. The times and market are only getting worse, and Ke$ha definitely does not have the solid fanbase of even someone like Katy Perry or Rihanna, much less Gaga/Britney/Beyonce levels.

    Bruno Mars is getting that number 1 next week on the Hot 100 and he'll probably get the Christmas number 1 too.

    I'm not complaining. I kinda like "Locked Out of Heaven". Actually, I'm really enjoying his new material. His last album (with the exception of a couple of tracks like "Runaway Baby") range from meh ("Grenade") to borefest ("Just the Way You Are") to stupid ("The Lazy Song").

    I definitely prefer Locked out of Heaven to Diamonds and pretty much all of Bruno's previous singles.

    I really liked Grenade, but Locked Out of Heaven is even better. I've always liked his singing style; he just... sang some really stupid songs.

    Bruno had some great little songs in his debut, specifically The Other Side and Liquor Store Blues (so, so good).
