"I Want to Hold Your Hand," and it's not even close (for me at least).

Easily "Rolling in the Deep." Although I love "Rock Around the Clock," too.
I can't get into "I Want to Hold Your Hand."

"Rolling In The Deep", followed by "Low".
I do kind of love "Rock Around The Clock" though.

Low seriously looks out of place on this list. Hard to imagine it being in the popular consciousness a couple decades from now.
Anyhoo, Rolling it is.

Are you sure the top selling digital singles for 2000's is "Low"? It should be "I GOTTA FEELING"? Both "We Are The World" and Elton John's "Candle in the way" are both for charity. It seems odd to compare those singles with other singles.

It seems odd to compare those singles with other singles. "I Gotta Feeling" wasn't even the best selling digital song of 2009. It's the best selling single from a song released in the 2000's, but not during the calendar period from the start of 2000 to the end of 2009. |

I Want to Hold Your Hand. Rolling In the Deep was overrated, as in Set Fire to the Rain is better and would have done more if released earlier.
