People were predicting 600k, 700k for "Roar" but now Billboard projects 450k. Then what "Applause" and "Blurred Lines" are going to sell, over 200k?

Billboard is underestimating. I still believe in over 500k.

1. Roar - Katy Perry 2. Blurred Lines (feat. T.I. & Pharrell) - Robin Thicke 3. Applause - Lady Gaga Well, that was quick, less than 72 hours at #2. Thankfully "Roar" maintains a healthy lead with no signs of decline, I expect a great performance by Katy on the VMA.

Billboard is underestimating. I still believe in over 500k. they've gotta be low-balling. I know popbars aren't totally precise, but she's pushed "Blurred Lines" (which sold 346,000 last week) down to less than 0.5 since Monday morning, and it looks like BL won't reach even 0.5 until tomorrow at the earliest. even if BL is dropping another 15% this week and "only" sells about 300k, surely the size of Katy's lead suggests more than 450k? there's nothing to suggest that BL's sales have suddenly dropped significantly since last week.

What are the chances that Billboard was fed low-balled numbers from Katy's people?

Billboard has its own sources, they don't go off numbers from managers/labels.

that's because Kworb doesn't weigh countries, it just pits the # against each other. Livepopbars gives weight to countries that have bigger markets.

So my friend works at MTV and is pretty high up, and he shared some details from the VMA performance with me. Apparently it's costing them 2.6m to produce her performance... she's going to jump from the Brooklyn Bridge onto a boat in the East River and perform there, and there are going to be fireworks in the background. Don't Hold It Against Me /Britney if this info is wrong, but this is a friend of mine who I know personally and is usually right about this stuff. :o Holy hell if that bit is true!

The Hollywood Reporter: In three days, the pop star has sold over 272,000 digital songs and is projected to hit 525,000 within the single's first week of release. Katy Perry's new single “Roar” marks a career milestone for the pop singer. The ferocious mid-tempo track, which hit digital retailers at midnight on Aug. 12, has already sold 272,000 digital songs, and “Roar” is on target to move 525,000 in its first week of release, surpassing Robin Thicke's “Blurred Lines.” In addition, “Roar” claims the biggest digital song debut of 2013, surpassing One Direction’s “Best Song Ever,” which tallied 322,000 for the week ending July 28. The song marks a career best for Perry. Although she hit the ground running just as strongly with her previous album, 2010’s Teenage Dream — a release that would yield five No. 1 singles, a record for a female artist — the biggest digital track from that cycle was “Firework” with 509,000 unit sales for the week ending Dec. 26, 2010. Perry’s biggest digital song debut to date was 2012’s “Part of Me,” which moved 411,000 its first week out, according to Perry’s label, Capitol Music Group. "Roar" inched onto the Billboard Hot 100 after it leaked on Aug. 10 and is expected to topple Thicke’s "Blurred Lines" from the top spot on next week’s chart, which factors sales and airplay. It all bodes for a promising start to the Prism rollout. Perry’s third album is slated for release on Oct. 22.

^ Very exciting if true, BUT I think it's going to be really close between "Roar" and "Blurred Lines" on the Hot 100. I expect the songs to have similar streaming points, so it comes down to airplay and sales, and as of now it's uncertain if the sales gap in "Roar"s favor will be able to outdo the airplay gap in "BL"s favor. Even if "Roar" does not hit number 1 this week, I think it has a really good chance of doing so at some point as I predict airplay will probably skyrocket over the next few weeks, with sales and streams remaining healthy (especially after a video release).

Insane updates! Regarding it iTunes dominance, I knew TD was a huge era for her but I didn't know she had such a following. Happy for her!

WOW ... at this pace she will be right in the Top5 in no time. "Roar" is like a storm, in a hurry to reach #1. But after it will reach the top, how much time will stay there. Interesting to see if she will drop the second single before the album release.
Overall
17. KATY PERRY – Roar: 69.645 (+ 10.727)

Lawdy- now some DJ clams she copied his instant-messaging video with her lyric video? Leave her alone! The losses should come Monday and Tuesday, or just for one day? At its rate of gains, though, the rolling-total loss may not be so bad.
