"Somebody That I Used To Know" by Gotye feat. Kimbra tops the 7 million mark in paid downloads becoming just the 4th song to accomplish this after:

"I Gotta Feeling" by The Black Eyed Peas (8.2m), "Rolling In The Deep" by Adele (7.7m), "Party Rock Anthem" by LMFAO (7.5m).

Just in the US? I heard it sold 9 million WW.

Crazy!

Great

Can't be true. It's around 1.2-1.3m in UK alone.

WW is much more than that. It's probably around 12-13 million WW.

Bada BING!

like the song but i seriously dont get the hype
7 mill, like damn

I don't know why the US took so long to catch on with this song, it was my jam when I went to California end of Summer '11. One of my most played songs on my iPod. True classic and will be remembered, regardless of what ATRLers say.


I can guarantee it is much much more than that. I wouldn't be shocked if it was near 13 million by now. The song is still selling like 50-75K WW a week when a year ago it was selling like 500-700K a week WW. By the time it was only starting to get noticed in the states, it already was a monster WW for months.

Wow, I thought this wasn't going to happen until after the Grammys! Congrats to Gotye, 7 million in unbelievable!

HUGE single, a classic for the decade.. One of the biggest hits in history, not kidding

It was such a monster like nothing!! Vying to become the bgest selling single in digital history

Call Me Maybe is next

Amazing song

And the Grammys still yet to come

Congrats Gotye! Love the song so much! I hope it can reach 8M by the end of the year.

Offtopic: Does Party Rock Anthem have a chance of outselling Rolling In The Deep?

I liked this song until it got overplayed

Congrats though

Song of the decade tbh.

Shocked tbh, it's not even good.


Congrats though.

You're right. It's not good, it's FANTASTIC.
