It's the biggest sales week of the year due to people getting iTunes gift cards for Christmas.
Past Number-Ones
2007: "Fergalicious" (294,000)
(A high for this time period)
2008: "Low" (467,000)
2009: "Just Dance" (419,000)
2010: "Tik Tok" (610,000)
2011: "Grenade" (559,000)
And just generally, the entire Digital Songs chart sales boost up. The issue date for the Christmas week is the second week/second number of the next year.
