Over on the Digital Songs chart, Ariana Grande earns the eighth-largest debut ever for a download, as her "Problem" starts at No. 1 with 438,000 sold. It's also the largest arrival for a song this year, and the biggest since Katy Perry's "Roar" debuted with 557,000 downloads in the week ending Aug. 18, 2013.
"Problem" features Azalea, who herself jumps from No. 6 to No. 2 with her own song, "Fancy," featuring Charli XCX. "Fancy" sold 222,000 downloads (up 104 percent).
With the jump, Azalea becomes only the fifth artist to occupy the top two slots of Digital Songs at the same time, and the first to do so since 2012. The last artist to rule with both the No. 1 and No. 2 songs in the same week was Swift in the sales week ending Sept. 9, 2012.
Are you people actually letting Iggy Azealia happen? If she doesn't go the Ashanti way and dissappear after this I will start a petition to get Russia to bomb the US.
"It's been massively different for me, on a personal level and on a Charli XCX level," says the singer (real name: Charlotte Aitchinson) of supporting "Fancy," on which she sings the opulent hook, as compared to promoting "I Love It" last year. "With 'I Love It,' there was never a plan for me to go and write for Icona Pop -- they were just there, and it happened, and no one really knew what was going on. Then it was a bit of a mess that turned into a stressful experience, and something that I didn't really enjoy. They were traveling the world and it was great, but I never felt part of that process. I never really felt like it was my song."
"With Iggy, it's been the flip side of that -- I've been doing TV [performances] in America, which is so crazy for me," she continues. Indeed, XCX has been on hand to join Azalea and perform "Fancy" on national TV shows like "Good Morning America" and "Late Night with Seth Meyers" over the past two months. "I never thought that the first time I was on U.S. television, I'd be doing a dance routine, but I just went with it, and I actually really loved it. From the start, Iggy has been like, 'This is your song as well as my song,' which I think is very nice of her, and it made me very excited about the song. I feel valued."

poor Charli
and to think Charli deserves so much more than these little features she gets.
I still have hope for her cause the same happened to Bruno with his first two songs and then he was able to release an album.
I gave K-Pop it's final chance and I just absolutely despise everything to do with it.
sis, you should've asked for my counseling when meddling into Kpop. Poor thing, did you really listened to Super Junior's songs? I can understand your despise for Kpop now.
