It received a Grammy nomination for Best Dance Recording. “Don’t You Worry Child” by Swedish House Mafia featuring John Martin returns to the top 10 after spending a couple of weeks just outside the top 10 (at #11 and then #12). The song tops the 1 million mark in digital sales this week. “Suit & Tie” by Justin Timberlake featuring Jay-Z holds at #8 for the second week.
It ties “We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together” and 2009’s “Love Story.” Only one Swift song, “You Belong With Me,” has had a longer run in the top 10 (16 weeks in 2009). This is its 13th week in the top 10, which makes it one of Swift’s four longest-running top 10 hits to date. “I Knew You Were Trouble.” holds at #4 for the second week. 2011: “E.T.” by Katy Perry featuring Kanye West (May 8) 2010: Train’s “Hey, Soul Sister” (May 30) 2009: Flo Rida’s “Right Round” (April 26) 2008: Leona Lewis’ “Bleeding Love” (Aug. The first to do it six times (and also seven times) was “We Are Young.” The first to do it eight times is “Thrift Shop.” Will “Thrift Shop” also become the first to do it nine times? Place your bets.ĭigital History II Refresher II: Here are the first songs to sell 3 million copies in each calendar year from 2008 through 2011 (and the week they topped the 3 million mark in calendar-year sales). The first to hit that threshold three times (and also four times) was Flo Rida’s “Right Round.” The first to do it five times was “Love The Way You Lie” by Eminem featuring Rihanna. The first song top 300K twice was “Live Your Life” by T.I. (It has sold 816K copies to date.) “Thrift Shop” is #2 on the all-format Radio Songs chart for the second week (just behind Taylor Swift’s mass-appeal smash “I Knew You Were Trouble.”) “Harlem Shake” doesn’t yet appear on the 75-position Radio Songs chart.ĭigital History Refresher I: The first song in digital history to top 300K in weekly sales was “Low” by Flo Rida featuring T-Pain, which did it in the week after Christmas 2007.
“Harlem Shake” spent one week (last week) at #2 on that chart. “Thrift Shop” has been #1 on Hot Digital Songs for eight straight weeks. And if it had been in place last summer, PSY’s “Gangnam Style” would undoubtedly have hit #1 (it spent seven weeks at #2).Įven so, it seems to me that the You Tube element is being given too much weight. If this policy had been in place two years ago, Rebecca Black’s “Friday” might have had a shot at #1 (it peaked at #58 in April 2011). Given all these facts, you might expect that “Thrift Shop” is also #1 on the Hot 100, but that distinction goes, for the third week in row, to Baauer’s viral phenomenon “Harlem Shake.” “Harlem Shake” is the first song to capitalize on Billboard’s decision to add You Tube streaming data to the Hot 100 formula.
