Over on the Digital Songs chart, as previously reported, Taylor Swift debuts at No. 1 with "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together," which sells a whopping 623,000 downloads. It's the largest digital sales week ever for a song by a woman and the second-best overall. Only the arrival of Flo Rida's "Right Round" (636,000 in 2009) was bigger.
Speaking of Flo Rida, on this week's chart, his "Whistle" slips 1-2 with 199,000 (down 8%) to make room for Swift's No. 1 opener. Below Flo is fun.'s "Some Nights," which rises 5-3 (180,000; up 22%) and Maroon 5's "One More Night," climbing 7-4 (170,000; up 26%).
With the Olympics over, it's not surprising to see Phillip Phillips' "Home" tumble 2-5 with 161,000 (down 24%). The song was used during NBC's coverage of women's gymnastics and was also heard during the network's pre-show that aired before the closing ceremony on Aug. 12.
