Billboard Hot 100 Singles (April 11-18, 2012)
Over on the Digital Songs chart, fun.'s "We Are Young" (featuring Janelle Monae) regains the No. 1 slot (up one) with 390,000 (up 7%) while last week's leader, Justin Bieber's "Boyfriend," falls to No. 3 with a still-big 295,000 (down 43%).
Meanwhile, Gotye's "Somebody That I Used to Know" (featuring Kimbra) climbs 3-2 (311,000; up 28%).
Thanks to a red-hot song in "We Are Young," Bieber's huge debut last week, and then Easter weekend sales, the Digital Songs chart's top two both sell 300,000 for the first time in successive weeks outside of the Christmas season.
One Direction's "What Makes You Beautiful" is up one to No. 4 (294,000; up 48%) and Nicki Minaj's "Starships" slips 4-5 despite a gain (232,000; up 14%).
Carly Rae Jepsen's "Call Me Maybe" moves 7-6 (216,000; up 19%), the Wanted's "Glad You Came" climbs 8-7 (209,000; up 24%) and Flo Rida's "Wild Ones" (featuring Sia) falls 6-8 (198,000; up 8%).
Katy Perry's "Part Of Me" is up one to No. 9 (138,000; up 13%) and Kelly Clarkson's "Stronger (What Doesn't Kill You)" slips one to No. 10 (137,000; up less than 1%).
Overall album sales in this past chart week (ending April 8) totaled 6.40 million units, up 4% compared to the sum last week (6.16 million) and up 9% compared to the comparable sales week of 2011 (5.87 million). Year to date album sales stand at 84.23 million, up 1% compared to the same total at this point last year (83.69 million).
Digital track sales this past week totaled 29.12 million downloads, up 9% compared to last week (26.68 million) and up 26% stacked next to the comparable week of 2011 (23.17 million). Year to date track sales are at 390.44 million, up 8% compared to the same total at this point last year (362.28 million).

I just LOVE how this is doing for a song that was supposed to "flop on radio" and "fall out the Top 10 on iTunes a few days after release." It'll be Platinum next week! Proud of The Biebs!
