This is a good song, but I'm rooting against it. Anything it takes for Karmin to get a top 10 peak!

Justin Beiber is going to be such a HUGE force when he's older. Like Justin x 10. When he's 21, his albums will sell 1M first week guaranteed. When he's 25, he might just break every record.

Including all the female records? :O YES! I can see him EASILY breaking Britney's first week album's total. He's projected what.....750k for his first week? Imagine when he's 21-25. Those numbers will only increase.

Not what I meant lol. Like... "Highest album sales week for a female" "Longest #1 for a female" etc. Things he can't possibly get.

But i think we are witnessing a huge giant, colossal artist sprouting up. He's already got such a huge following, but is kinda under the radar at the same time. It's only a matter of time before he takes control. I suggest a name change.

I think, before making those calls, though, we need to hear single #2, along with the rest of his album. See what direction he truly is going. If he's making more songs like this, then I agree he will grow. If not, then who knows.
I like the idea of where he is going, but this song is just alright to me. Much better than other songs I've heard of his, though.

Those numbers will only increase. Honestly, that won't happen for him. I don't see how getting older logically has anything to do with greater sales weeks, especially given how so many people around here are obsessive when it comes to ageism (I know it doesn't really apply to him though). Look at it this way: Lady Gaga couldn't even do it with the massive amount of promotion, hype, a multi-week number one, a two day special discount, and basically one of the biggest fanbases in the world. I'm not denying Justin on that one, but I'm saying it's highly unlikely for him and if he even happens to pull it off it won't be "easily".

If he's making more songs like this, then I agree he will grow. If not, then who knows. I disagree. He's not going to grow if he continues making dated tracks that only appeal to his pre-existing audience like this. He needs to do something new, fresh and different. The "Boyfriend" video could have been a step forward for him, but clearly his team chose instead to scrap their original plans make another typical, juvenile video, which I don't think is a sign that they're planning to take risks.

Agreed. Absolutely horrid video. Basically a four minute shove in our faces of how much swag Justin supposedly has. They should have gone with the concept during the first twenty or so seconds. That was at least decent.

sex sells. The older he gets, the more sex appeal he will have. That = sales.

And besides, I expect the teenage girl demographic would be the most likely to buy albums for no reason other than sex appeal, and that's the demographic he currently appeals to.

which is why he WILL do it. 750k now will turn into 1M later on in life.

Justin is an alpha male in training. A beta male?

This screams a tiny bit of payola. Labels don't waste payola on dead songs. If Bieber's label wanted to use payola, they would have done it back when this song first peaked, or would wait to use it on a future single.

Isn't this still Top 8 at ITunes? I always thought this song would sell well but not for so long and so consistently. Now that this song is showing it's not such a quick burn at raido. I think his next single will do well at both rtail and raido.

Yes, it has never left the Top 10 on iTunes. In fact with Die In Your Arms losing steam, this'll be back in the Top 5 on iTunes again. And yeah, this is a nice significant turnaround.

Those hyphens are not the same width as the digits. How far do you think this will go? I'm not sure if this rebound is just going to end up being minor and it will be on the way down again in a week's time, or if it's going to pick up and go all the way to the Top 3. Between the two extremes, I expect it will be closer to the former, but with the way this is going, I think a #8 peak may be manageable.

^I contemplated fixing that, but then I realised I didn't care and just kept that copy/paste from Au$tin's posts.
I'm hoping this can manage Top 5. Either way, this current rebound goes very well with getting this song a good chunk of longevity that it didn't seem it was going to have.
