Not even 12 hours after its official release, Katy Perry‘s new song – ‘Daisies’ – has reached the summit of real-time iTunes sales chart.

After jaws dropped once reports surfaced Mariah Carey‘s 2008 album, ‘E=MC²,’ topped the real-time iTunes chart, fans of Janet Jackson and Madonna rushed to buy their albums as well, which resulted in their respective ‘Control’ and ‘Bedtime Stories’ sets soaring on the tally as well (as we reported here).

As fans wait with bated breath to learn where the new sales activity will land the projects on next week’s Billboard 200, the publication delivered a report to indicate it’s quite unlikely such will occur – especially given the absence of a streaming boost to assist.
