A week after the Billboard Hot 100 welcomed Lady Gaga's "Born This Way" as the 1,000th No. 1 in its storied history, the chart-topping counter remains frozen at that milestone number, as "Born This Way" refuses to relinquish its standing to the other Grammy Awards-fueled contenders that leap up the list.
"Born This Way" improves upon its opening-week sales frame, shifting 509,000 downloads (up 14%), according to Nielsen SoundScan. As reported yesterday, the sum marks the fourth-largest for any digital track.
The song is also the first No. 1-debuting title on Digital Songs to post an increase in its second week, since Beyoncé's "Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It)" in December 2008.
On Radio Songs, "Born This Way" bump up two places from its record-setting No. 6 debut with a 7% increase to 84 million audience impressions, per Nielsen BDS. That single-digit percentage gain might not seem like much when comparing this week's seven-day cycle to last week's five-day sum, but considering how frequently the track was played upon its debut -- some stations spun it multiple times an hour -- a gain at all after such a heralded launch is impressive.
"Born This Way" leads an all Grammys-fueled top five on Digital Songs, as each of the tracks were featured on CBS' broadcast of the 53rd annual gala Feb. 13.
