I figured this was going to be massive when I saw tribute versions flying up the itunes chart, when it was finally released on Sunday at midnight, it jumped from 225 to 39 in no time and had reached number one by about 1.00pm yesterday, a very fast climb which normally means high sales.

And then you look at the itunes popularity bar:

His album is going to be just *massive* isn't it?!

Maybe, but he has huge equally huge single success in America and his album has sold only ~500k there.

3:43 is not really short for a song at all.

Lady GaGa's debut pnly was 24K so 55K was quite respectable and the album is still top 10 on the US itunes chart so sales are sustaining well.

It's ok..seems like a grower. I am just shocked that Her World Goes On, which is the best track Bruno Mars has recorded, didn't even make the cut for the album!! That is crazy. He badly needs an uptempo number like that to show he is versatile.

The album appears to be coming out tomorrow now instead of January 24th and no wonder really, I knew those itunes bars indicated big sales...

Number 1 - Bruno Mars - Grenade (150K)

Bruno Mars, the Los Angeles-based singer, songwriter and producer, blasts his way to the top of the Official Singles Chart with new single Grenade selling close to 150,000 copies, the Official Charts Company reports today.

This gives Grenade the biggest first week sales for a single released in January since Babylon Zoo’s Spaceman (383,000) in 1996.
Incredibly impressive sales for a single released in January and sets him up very nicely for the album now, which I imagine will comfortably debut at number 1 with healthy sales.

But i feel it could be at least4minutes. The verses are really short and it feels like there is only 2 verses.

I don't know why YouTube is saying it was uploaded a month ago when it was added on the 22nd of November. Still good obviously.

No. Well, it's not a terrible song. I wouldn't pay to listen to it, or go out of my way to listen to it on youtube or something, but if it's on the radio, I can tolerate it (so far ).

I can't believe how much it's sold though! 150,000 is incredible! It was obviously going to be #1, but I wan't even expecting over 100,000.

But this means he'll probably beat Adele and Britney to #1 next week then.
