As expected, Justin Bieber's new single "Boyfriend" has made an impressive debut. After dropping last Monday, the song has sold 520,000 downloads in its first week.
The number is particularly meaningful since it seats him at #2 in all-time first-week singles sales. Flo Rida's track "Right Round," featuring a then up-and-coming Ke$ha, has the Biebs beat, according to Hits Daily Double. Flo's track sits at #1 with 636,000 units went. Other huge sellers include the Black Eyed Peas' "Boom Boom Pow" with 465,000 in downloads (#3), and Mother Monster herself, Lady Gaga's "Born This Way" selling 447,000 (#4).
Not only are fans gobbling up the single, but his real-life girlfriend, Selena Gomez, has given the song two thumbs up. "Is it my ring tone? No. I didn't even know you could make it a ring tone," Gomez told E! News. "It is a fantastic song."
Bieber is hardly resting on his laurels. The teen star is back in the studio working on Believe. He clarified on Twitter that the baby book, for which "Boyfriend" is the lead single, will go there. "Here making music addressing the past and the rumors, clearing it all up in the music. Im putting it all out there on this baby book. #BELIEVE," he tweeted.
He also tweeted out asinine videos of himself acting goofy on mock-up sets of the "Boyfriend" record, which he shot last week. In one, he stands in front of a conservational screen of icy land and in another he stands in front of a conservational screen of a fireplace.
Of course, Bieber already shared that there really will be fire and ice in the record. "The concept of this record, I mean it's not like a steady concept," he clarified to MTV News on the Cali-based set in linking shots. "It's not like 'Justin follows this girl to this spot.' No, it's a bunch of incredible scenes: Like a fire scene, we have an ice scene.
"It's kind of like bouncing back and forth," he said. "And then there's scenes of me and just a bunch of girl dancers, and just some fantastic shots, fantastic artistic shots, fantastic shots of me smiling. It's fun."
