I wonder if they counted the views of the official audio which has been hidden.

Over on the Digital Songs chart, Katy Perry's "Roar" bows at No. 1 with a whopping 557,000 downloads. The song finished the week with a larger-than-expected sales sum. On Sunday, Aug. 18, forecasters had suggested the song was on course to sell 525,000-550,000 downloads by the close of that week's business (Aug. 18). That projection was increased from an original forecast of 400,000, made on the songΓƒΒ’Γ’β€šΒ¬Γ’β€žΒ’s release date, Aug. 12.

The debut for ΓƒΒ’Γ’β€šΒ¬Γ…β€œRoarΓƒΒ’Γ’β€šΒ¬ marks the sixth-largest sales week for a digital song ever, Perry's own best sales week and the biggest for her label, Capitol Records.

The only other larger weeks were logged on the chart by Flo Rida's "Right Round" (a debut with 636,000 in 2009), Ke$ha's "TiK ToK" (610,000; 2009), Bruno Mars' "Grenade" (559,000; 2010) and Taylor Swift's "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together" (a debut with 623,000; 2012) and "I Knew You Were Trouble" (582,000; 2012).

But wait, there's more: "Roar" also logs the third-biggest debut for a digital song. Only "Right Round" (636,000) and "We Are Never . . ." (623,000) started with bigger numbers.

"Roar" is the lead single from Perry's "Prism" album, which is due for release on Oct. 22.

A total of three debuts arrive in the top 10 of the Digital Songs chart this week, including Perry's "Roar." And all three of them start in the top fiveΓƒΒ’Γ’β€šΒ¬Γ’β‚¬the first time that's happened since last October. (On the Digital Songs chart dated Oct. 20, 2012, One Direction, Swift and Adele bowed at Nos. 1-3, respectively, with "Live While We're Young," "Red" and "Skyfall.")

Last week's No. 1 Digital Song, Thicke's "Blurred Lines" (featuring. T.I. and Pharrell), falls to No. 2 with 291,000 (down 16%).

At No. 3 is the second debut of the week: Lady Gaga arrives with "Applause." It sold 218,000 downloads in its opening frame and marks her 13th top 10 hit on the Digital Songs chart. It's her best sales week since "The Edge of Glory" debuted with 266,000 downloads at No. 2 on the May 28, 2011, chart.

OFFICIAL: Lady Gaga's "Applause" is #3 on Billboard's Hot Digital Songs chart with 218,000 copies sold in the US.

It is possible that the pre-orders aren't included though so we don't know 100% yet...
