261,000 Digital Downloads Last Week
The numbers are in and last week’s big winner in the world of digital sales is none other than Katy Perry and Mr. Skripper Scholarship himself Juicy J. The song- which appears on Perry’s now platinum selling album Prism was officially released on December 13th of 2013- is now hitting its stride, currently it sits at #2 on the Billboard Hot 100, but don’t be surprised if it’s #1 by next week.
If it does hit number 1, it will continue the trend of 2014: 1 rapper + 1 pop singer = #1 record- Eminem & Rihanna, Ke$ha & Pitbull (sure whether he’s a rapper is disputable but still). The rest of this week’s top 10 digital downloads are below.
