Hot Digital Songs


Switching gears to the top 10 of the Digital Songs chart, One Direction's "Live While We're Young" comes crashing in at No. 1 with 341,000 downloads sold. It's the third-largest debut sales week for a digital song by a group, outpaced only by Maroon 5's "Payphone" (493,000) and the Black Eyed Peas' "Boom Boom Pow" (464,000 in 2009).

But 1D isn't the only big bow this week, as the entire top three are new arrivals. Taylor Swift's latest single, "Red," lands at No. 2 with 312,000. It's the title track from her upcoming album, due Oct. 22, and is the third pre-release single from the set. It starts a bit larger than its last early single, "Begin Again," which launched a week ago at No. 1 with 299,000.

At No. 3, Adele's title theme song from the James Bond film "Skyfall" debuts with 261,000 after a little more than three days of sales in the tracking week (which ended on Sunday night).

PSY's "Gangnam Style" slips 2-4 with 257,000 (down 13%), Maroon 5's "One More Night" drops 4-5 with 167,000 (down 8%), and Swift's "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together" falls 5-8 with 149,000 (down 11%).

Ke$ha's "Die Young" tumbles 3-7 with 138,000 (down 27%), fun.'s "Some Nights" moves 6-8 with 129,000 (down 8%), and Rihanna's "Diamonds" dips 7-9 with 108,000 (down 18%). Alex Clare's "Too Close" rounds out the top 10, descending 8-10 with 102,000 (down 12%).

This should be interesting, psy drops more than maroon 5.

Taylor didn't get that no. 1 after all. Adele did better than expected.
1D probably goes top 5 on H100.

"At No. 3, Adele's title theme song from the James Bond film "Skyfall" debuts with 261,000 after a little more than three days of sales in the tracking week (which ended on Sunday night). "

Nice

Fourth week for Maroon 5, I guess

Wow, Adele did better than expected.

I see that too but if streaming points for Psy is way above Maroon 5.

One Direction i'm actually surprised at that number
Skyfall could snatch the week iF it's released on tuesday

1d absolutely KILLING IT

1D

Wow one direction surpassed swift? Who wulda thought.

I hope fun. "Some Nights" hold at #3 for the fourth consecutive weeks on billboard hot 100..

Wait 1D! Damn

they were #1 only for a little bit.

I guess they were REALLY selling a lot before Taylor and Adele dethroned them.

PSY will get #1, right?

I hope Adele debuts in the top 10.

Red.

probably not. the sales gap between it and OMN still isn't big enough, it actually decreased since last week. and OMN has been outpacing GS on radio updates since last week. looks like it'll hold at #2
