5 of the last 6 years being either Flo Rida, Ke$ha, or Taylor Swift, and each of them having 2 songs in a row. 
EDIT: What if Ke$ha gets another with Timber for 2014

I'm so proud of my girl Taylor, slaying two years in a row. Her power is undeniable.

He did over 3.4 million first week, 1.2 million second week, and 700k third week.
His first 3 weeks are higher than all the rest.

The Lord 
Diana's dead was a shock moment in a WW at that time so the sales for the song ain't surprising, though the song isn't even that good
