It's like that time you claimed a flopping Leona single to be  a huge smash in the USA, or the time where you said Forever was HUGEE in Holland, just because 1 radiostation played it a couple of times. You're not being realistic.
Better In Time was a big hit in the USA. Although you can differ of course in opinion as it just missed the Top 10.

I never said Forever was HUGEE in Holland. However, I did say one of the most popular stations at the time (Sky Radio) played it in high rotation months before the single was released. Saying the only played it a couple of times is not being realistic as it was on high rotation for a couple of months.




  
Better in time was NOT a big hit in the USA.

I would say it was a hit (#3 at pop radio with a lengthly stay in the Top 40 and 1.5-2 million downloads is a hit), but it wasn't a SMASH hit the way "Bleeding Love" was.

OT, but I personally preferred "Better In Time". "Better In Time" had a cleaner production and sounded way more like Mariah; lyrically, vocally and melodically. I always found "Bleeding Love" overrated, the production sounded messy and the lyrics were just repulsive to me.
