Foster The People's "Pumped Up Kicks," which drops from #5 to #7, tops the 3 million mark in digital sales this week. The ultra-catchy song is featured on the group's album Torches, which is the front-runner to win a Grammy as Best Alternative Music Album.
"Pumped Up Kicks" is the 10th song (from any genre) to reach the 3 million sales threshold so far this year. Twelve songs topped the 3 million mark in all of 2010, so this year may well set a record. There were just two 3-million sellers in all of 2008. There were seven in 2009.
