Over on the Digital Songs chart, Thicke's "Blurred Lines" (featuring Pharrell and T.I.) regains the No. 1 slot, after being temporarily dethroned by One Direction's "Best Song Ever" last week. "Blurred" sells another 405,000 downloads (up 30%), rising 2-1 on the chart. It's now the only song to have ever sold at least 400,000 downloads in four different weeks. (One Direction's "Best Song Ever," meanwhile, tumbles 1-12 on the chart with 91,000, down 72%).



"Blurred Lines" also overtakes Imagine Dragons' "Radioactive" to become the second-biggest-selling song of the year. "Blurred" has shifted 4.3 million, while "Radioactive" stands at 4.1 million. Ahead of both is the year's biggest seller, "Thrift Shop," by Macklemore and Ryan Lewis (featuring Wanz), with 5.8 million.



Miley Cyrus' "We Can't Stop" rises 3-2 with 173,000 (down 9%) while Jay Z's "Holy Grail" (featuring Justin Timberlake) ascends 4-3 with 162,000 (up 2%).



Imagine Dragons' "Radioactive" moves 5-4 (155,000; down 3%), Anna Kendrick's "Cups" jumps 11-5 (110,000; up 8%), and Florida Georgia Line's "Cruise" steps 7-6 (108,000; down 10%).



Daft Punk's "Get Lucky," featuring Pharrell Williams, moves 8-7 (103,000; down 9%), and Capital Cities' "Safe and Sound" zips into the top 10 with a 12-8 rise (nearly 103,000; up 1%). Avicii's red-hot "Wake Me Up!" flies 32-9 with 100,000 (up a whopping 88%) while Macklemore and Lewis' "Same Love" is steady at No. 10 with 97,000 (down 7%).



Digital track sales this past week totaled 22.8 million downloads, down 2% compared with last week (23.2 million) and down 6% stacked next to the comparable week of 2012 (24.1 million). Year-to-date track sales are at 798.1 million, down 3% compared with the same total at this point last year (821.4 million).

I suppose 91k is good enough for 1D's second week. Would have been nice if it could have held on to top 10 on digital songs to give it a chance on H100.

405K.

last week. "Blurred" sells another 405,000 downloads (up 30%), rising 2-1 on the chart.

Blurred Lines

Holy Grail, Wake me Up and Cups

What if Blurred Lines actually outsells Roar and Applause's first week sales? At this point it's possible.

The article seems to have come late this week. Can't wait for the Hot 100 one to be posted with the airplay numbers.

Still a pretty crappy sales week tbh. I was hoping Miley would do above 180K and Robin would do close to 450K. Anna Kendrick though!


Nah, it's not. The only reason BL scanned over 400K was because it was the week of his album release and he had a string of television appearances to promote it. Katy and Gaga are definitely hitting at least 450K with their lead singles, while Robin's will be on a decline (about a solid 330K for this week in my estimation, and then lower the weeks after that.)

I can't at BL selling so much for ANOTHER WEEK.

Do you expect its sales to continue increasing?

blurred lines

by the time Katy's single comes out i think her and Blurred will have around the same amount of sales, Blurred will probably drop back down to 320k and katy will sell about 350k ! but for Gaga, Gaga will sell more than the 500k mark ! im hoping

From this point on the only way his sales r going is Down.

Robin will probably sell 320-340k next week.

omg why did it rise so much?

Week of performances because his album came out last week.

Blurred Lines will probably sell less thN 350k this week, so I don't see how he can outsell Katy and Gaga's first weeks.
