I think you're the debbie downer if you honestly don't think that at least 5-10k of that total sum is made up of her hardcore purchasers buying the third version.

Don't ahahaha me.
I'm not the one trying to make her sales for this single seem like they're nothing. I know there was a third version. I know that it probably made up X amount of sales, but no one really knows anything for sure, so why assume? And so what if it makes up 5-10k? Does the possibility that it could've sold 5,000 - 10,000 copies less somehow make the single's total less factual? I don't think most people even think about how many versions her singles had when comparing sales. In the long run, people look back and say: "Oh, this sold so and so amount of copies" without really caring about how many different kinds there were. If you want to get that technical about it, then what about A and it's 7+ versions? What about the 4 different covers of H? Do those facts somehow make the 1 million+ copies that those singles ended up selling any less significant? And to take it a step further, what about MY STORY? Do the four CD+DVD versions of MY STORY cancel out the fact that it was her last million seller?
How is trying to look on the bright side of things being a downer on this situation?
Just to clarify what a Debbie Downer is:
1. a: a person who says something terribly depressing (a downer), typically only tangentially related to the present circumstance or topic of conversation, and thereby destroys the positive atmosphere., Someone who throws in a negative comment or brings down the mood when something positive happens or is said. (ex. people being happy about the single outselling S/S... only to have someone bring up that there's a possibility that the third version was the reason why it sold 111k+ copies.)
