Artists with most million-selling downloads.
Quote:
After combing through Nielsen SoundScan's archives, here is a look at the artists (including lead and featured billings) who have tallied the most million-selling downloaded songs in the digital era:
Total million-selling downloads, artist, top-seller (in millions)
24, Lil Wayne, "Lollipop" (4.3)
19, Rihanna, "Love the Way You Lie" (5.1)
17, Eminem, "Love the Way You Lie" (5.1)
15, T-Pain, "Low" (6)
14, Taylor Swift, "Love Story" (5.1)
12, the Black Eyed Peas, "I Gotta Feeling" (7.5, the all-time best-selling download)
10, Britney Spears, "Womanizer" (3.2)
9, Beyonce, "Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It)" (4.7)
9, Kelly Clarkson, "My Life Would Suck Without You" (2.5)
9, Ke$ha, "TiK ToK" (6)
9, Lady Gaga, "Poker Face" (6.4)
9, Ludacris, "Break Your Heart" (3.5)
Perry just misses the top 10, having banked eight million-selling downloads, led by "Hot N Cold," which, at 5,026,000, just outranks "California Gurls" (5,013,000).
A special mention, too, of Michael Jackson. Eight songs by the late King of Pop have passed a million downloads despite all having been released long before the dawn of the digital era. "Thriller" is first at 2.8 million, followed by "Billie Jean" (2.2 million) and "Beat It" (1.9 million). Of course, sales of Jackson's songs spiked following his June 25, 2009, passing.
As for the Beatles, the Fab Four haven't racked any million-sellers since their catalog was made available digitally, but "Let it Be" (mop) tops their tally (421,000), followed by "Here Comes the Sun" (387,000) and "Hey Jude" (293,000).
