You were one of the ones being awkward! :lol: Seriously, the multitude of excuses people came up with in response to a simple statement like "Christina Aguilera is top 10 on iTunes. Wow!" is ridiculous. :lol: We get literally dozens of collaborations in the top 10, and I've never seen excuses flood in like that. It was so OTT. :lol:

 

I agree with you. After the whole "LOL AT FLOPTINA" phase, when she returned to the top 3 (and top 10 for that matter) all her critics were making excuses (like saying it wasn't actually her song when in reality her feature definitely helped the song's commercial cross-over success).

One Thing will probably peak top 15 next week thanks to the EP/Physical release.

 

Hopefully Want U Back follows suit and re-peaks, it would be criminal if that peaked at #26 when it's Cher's best single!

OK, i'm not a Christina fan or hater, I'm pretty neutral about her but SERIOUSLY? Maroon 5 have had hits outside the US for years without her. I definitely think she helped the song alot, but at the end of the day it's still M5's song and Christina has yet to redeem her flop tag.

 

EDIT - Antidote! :wub:

Don't like this chart run :(

Another nice drop for Antidote! Now hopefully it will drop even more next week! :D

Because most of these collaborations don't result in someone hailing them as a 'massive comeback' for the FEATURED artist, especially when said artist is in the song for all of 30 seconds or whatever :huh:

 

It's not an 'excuse', it's the truth. Until Christina can prove to be able to sell her OWN songs then as far as I'm concerned she is still a flop. I'd be of that opinion whether I liked her or not.

Really enjoying this now, the way that "Antidote" is said before the drop (of sorts) just sounds brilliant IMO.
Dead at one of his older singles charting higher than his current single. :nocheer:

 

Maverick Sabre's chart success has caused you to die?

How did you manage to write the comment? :lol:

How much did "The One That Got Away" sell so far?

3 months of being between 30 to 18 positions equal to 200K?

It was just a weird thing, the way people seemed to be fighting so hard to say that Christina wasn't top 10 on iTunes, when she was. I just didn't get it. It doesn't matter how much she sings on the song, she's top 10 on iTunes. :lol:

 

I thought Swedish House Mafia had fell out of the top 40! :o I'm glad they didn't though.

vidcapper has it down as 209,200 on his sales thread.

To be fair, I'm not sure how much she helped with the song's success (maybe a little bit, but probably not hugely).

 

However, if she was really as hated as people like to claim/imagine, the song would've been nowhere as successful, if that makes sense. Christina isn't hated at all, apart from people that read Perez Hilton's blog and a few people on Internet forums.
