Before He Cheats will never die!! I remember it wasn't too long ago when it sold 3 million, maybe (i know its still pretty far away) but maybe 4 million is possible, that'd be insane

2 million is just a few weeks away!

Yeah, I find it amazing that BHC steadily gets 4k per week in sales. How many songs sell 200k per year after being out over 5 years? Amazing.

Goooooooooo How Great Thou Art Nice to see steady sales! Thanks for posting!

That shows what a great performance can do, some people still enjoy a good vocal

So, she really did not really enjoy an increase for "Play On".

It's great sales for "How Great Thou Art", I wonder whether it'll hold on enough to pass 200k copies in total.

 

[TOPDOG1001]

So 42,000 copies of HGTA sold since that performance --- very impressive.

Next week it could still have 10000 copies or so, if not a little more!
