I didn't know there was such an Easter effect on singles sales.

It happens every year. Here's last years digital Top 10 Easter week.

1. Katy Perry - E.T. (featuring Kanye West) 344000 +21%
2. ADELE - Rolling In the Deep 298000 +99%
3. The Black Eyed Peas - Just Can't Get Enough 207000 +20%
4. Bruno Mars - The Lazy Song 188000 +52%
5. Rihanna - S&M 159000 -46%
6. Lady GaGa 156000 -4%
7. Jennifer Lopez - On the Floor (featuring Pitbull) 155000 +19%
8. Chris Brown - Look At Me Now (featuring Busta Rhymes & Lil Wayne) 153000 +19%
9. Ke$ha - Blow 151000 (re-entered Top 10, gained at least 26% but probably more like at least 30%)
10. Jeremih - Down On Me (featuring 50 Cent) 148000 +13%

Artists like Ke$ha, One Direction, Katy Perry benefit the most.

ADELE's humongous gain for RItD was due to other reasons beside Easter. That was the week it's popular suddenly exploded because I think someone had performed it on American Idol.

I hope 1D and Gotye both get a #1.

OR NOT.

I personally despise "Boyfriend" and "Part Of Me" so overall, this top ten doesn't do anything for me, other than WAY and STIUTK. I haven't listend to "Mercy" yet, but Kanye is about to fall, so... meh...

The rest aren't terrible, but... Yeah. I like WMYB much more than "Boyfriend"

I'm glad I have a vivid memory of all the amazing songs by BSB, 'N Sync, O-Town, Take That, even 98 Degrees, 5ive, Boyzone, Westlife. Good times

I wonder why S&M and Judas didn't do well.

That was the week after the remix, which freefell out of the Top 10.

It was also Judas's second week. Looking back now she couldn't have had worse timing for the release of Judas. I didn't realize it last year because I loved the song so much.

S&M went #1 the week after.

I think Kanye might let B.o.B. back into the top ten.

WAY's lead has decreased since that post. They're about to lose it to 1D.

Yea, I figured that was the reason. I was just making a joke at the correlation.

Judas should never have been single. If it were a 3rd or 4th single it probably would have flopped harder considering it would have been significantly after the album was released.

Yes, yes... S&M peaked too early in sales and the remix killed its remaining longevity.

Both 1D albums are in the top 5 now (neither was there yesterday).

What's this thing about giving kids iTunes gift cards for Easter? When I was young we just got chocolate and were ecstatic about it

I'm 15 and today I barely got an Easter egg . What I would do to get Easter present though!

I've come to enjoy it more than The Wanted's snoozefest.

Even the best of us are wrong sometimes.
