Speaking of Madonna, on the Digital Songs chart, her new single "Give Me All Your Luvin'," featuring Nicki Minaj and M.I.A., debuts at No. 7 with 115,000 downloads sold. As the tracking week ended on Sunday, Feb. 5, this debut represents only the song's first three days of release (it bowed on Friday, Feb. 3). Comparably, Madonna's last lead single from a studio album, 2008's "4 Minutes," started with 217,000 downloads in its first week of availability (it was released on a Monday). Or, a little less than double what "Luvin'" sold in three days.
The aforementioned Clarkson is steady at No. 1 with "Stronger (What Doesn't Kill You)," selling 237,000 (up 6%) while Adele's "Set Fire to the Rain" is also a non-mover at No. 2 (165,000; down 2%). Nos. 3-6 are also in the same spots as last week: in order, we have David Guetta's "Turn Me On" (featuring Minaj) with 148,000 (down 9%); Tyga's "Rack City" with 139,000 (down 2%); Snoop Dogg & Wiz Khalifa's "Young, Wild & Free" with 127,000 (down 1%) and Flo Rida's "Good Feeling" with 115,000 (down 5%).
Gym Class Heroes' "Ass Back Home" (featuring Neon Hitch) jumps into the top 10 for the first time, climbing 14-8 with 113,000 (up 113,000; up 30%) while LMFAO's "Sexy and I Know It" falls one slot to No. 9 with 112,000 (down 1%).
The Glee Cast's rendition of Michael Jackson's "Smooth Criminal" (featuring 2Cellos), debuts at No. 10 with 108,000. It marks the cast's third-highest sales week for a single this season, following their Adele mash-up of "Rumour Has It/Someone Like You" (160,000 in its debut) and its cover of fun.'s "We Are Young" (137,000 in its debut).
Overall album sales in this past chart week (ending Feb. 5) totaled 5.81 million units, up 8% compared to the sum last week (5.39 million) and up 6% compared to the comparable sales week of 2011 (5.50 million). Year to date album sales stand at 27.16 million, up 3% compared to the same total at this point last year (26.34 million).
Digital track sales this past week totaled 26.39 million downloads, up 2% compared to last week (25.98 million) and up 7% stacked next to the comparable week of 2011 (24.61 million). Year to date track sales are at 141.58 million, up 6% compared to the same total at this point last year (132.94 million).
