Billboard Hot 100 Singles (July 31-August 7, 2013)
Over on the Digital Songs chart, we have a new No. 1: One Direction's "Best Song Ever" crashes in with 322,000 downloads sold. It's the biggest debut for a song since Swift's "I Knew You Were Trouble" bowed at No. 1 on Oct. 27, 2012, with 416,000.
"Best Song Ever" isn’t One Direction’s largest sales week, however. The group bulldozed through 341,000 copies of its "Live While We're Young" when it started at No. 1 on the Oct. 20, 2012, Digital Songs chart.
"Best Song Ever" was written for One Direction's upcoming documentary film "This Is Us," and it doubles as the lead single from the group's forthcoming third studio album.
One Direction bumps last week's chart-topper, Robin Thicke's "Blurred Lines," down to No. 2 with 312,000 (down 9%).
Miley Cyrus' "We Can't Stop" also falls a slot to No. 3 with 191,000 (down 8%) while Jay Z's "Holy Grail" (featuring Timberlake) is steady at No. 4 with 160,000 (down 3%).
Imagine Dragons' "Radioactive" descends two notches to No. 5 with 159,000 (down 8%), while Ariana Grande's "Baby I" debuts at No. 6 with 141,000. It follows "The Way," featuring Mac Miller, which launched at No. 6 earlier this year with 219,000. Grande is the only woman to debut two singles in the top 10 of the Digital Songs chart this year.
Florida Georgia Line's "Cruise" falls 5-7 (119,000; down 14%); Daft Punk's "Get Lucky," featuring Pharrell Williams, dips 6-8 (114,000; down 14%); and Bruno Mars' "Treasure" moves 8-9 (110,000; down 6%). Closing out the top 10 is Macklemore & Ryan Lewis' "Same Love," featuring Mary Lambert, slipping one rung to No. 10 with 105,000 (down 6%).
Digital track sales this past week totaled 23.2 million downloads, up 2% compared with last week (22.8 million) and down 3% stacked next to the comparable week of 2012 (23.8 million). Year-to-date track sales are at 775.4 million, down 3% compared with the same total at this point last year (797.3 million).
