Just false sales are being used with no source. Katy has sold 310k in the UK, 80K in Australia, 50K in Italy, 50K in Canada, 15K in New Zealand, 20K in spain

That is 475K in just those 6 countries.

It sold 108K in its first week not including streaming in the US

that makes it at 583K sales without US streaming and I haven't included the other 7 weeks in the US chart which will definitely add up to more than 110K sales, meaning in just 7 countries alone she has outsold her 696K which Smithy has given for her worldwide sales value.

Let alone the rest of the US sales and even the other 20 odd countries its been top 5 hit. Meaning the song HAS sold more than 696k worldwide, so this number Smithy has got is made up, or like I said not updated.

Meanwhile her song is still in the main chart over the world and so this 'not updated figure' will overtake the irrelevant song regardless of what inaccurate source was used.
