Adele's "Rolling In The Deep" slips to #2, ending a seven-week run at #1. The song tops 4 million in digital sales this week. It's the second hit by a British female artist to reach this plateau. Leona Lewis' "Bleeding Love" has sold 4,183,000 copies since its release in 2008.
Sales numbers are usually rounded up to the nearest thousands though. The only case numbers in hundreds were revealed was when E.T. outsold RITD by 300 copies. For all we know, TEOG was probably at 999,000 by last week.
