Gotye: "Somebody That I Used to Know" tops 6 million
Quote:
"Somebody That I Used To Know" by Gotye featuring Kimbra reaches the 6 million sales mark in just its 30th week. That lopped four months off the previous speed record for a digital hit, which was held by "Party Rock Anthem" by LMFAO featuring Lauren Bennett & GoonRock. The exuberant 2011 smash reached the 6 million mark in 48 weeks. Want to know the two songs that are next in line? Adele's "Rolling In The Deep" is in third place. It took 54 weeks. The Black Eyed Peas' "I Gotta Feeling" is in fourth place. It took 59 weeks.
"Somebody That I Used To Know," which is the #1 song for the year-to-date, is still going strong. It dips from #5 to #6 on this week's Hot 100. The song is the front-runner to win the Grammy as Record of the Year in February.
