Everyone should stop freaking out, its impressive that S/S sold as much as it did on the first day. The fact is its getting harder and harder for physical CD sales especially when 1) Digital downloads are way cheaper & 2) How many people out there are still willing to pay $15-20 for basically 2 songs unless you're a hardcore fan?

I thought WILD was one of Namie's best songs and that single ended up selling even less than Rule/Sparkle. Unless you're one of those boy bands that are invulnerable to worldwide recession, expect a dip in sales for everyone.
