This week, for only the second time in history, an album and a digital song both simultaneously sell more than a half-million copies in a single week.
On the Billboard 200 albums chart, Luke Bryan's "Crash My Party" debuts at No. 1 with 528,000 according to Nielsen SoundScan. While over on the Digital Songs chart, Katy Perry's "Roar" bows at No. 1 with 557,000 downloads.
The only other time that a download song and an album have sold each 500,000 in the same frame was over the Christmas week of 2009. In the sales week that ended Dec. 27, 2009, Ke$ha's "TiK Tok" sold 610,000 downloads, while Susan Boyle's album "I Dreamed a Dream" sold 510,000 copies.
