So, there's a thread for free songs, but what about for those of us that are fine with spending dough on the a-listers, but not full price? It seems appropriate to make this its own thread since services tend to focus on different types of content for their free offers and their sales. (i.e. iTunes focuses on albums, Google alternates between a $1, $2, and free album, and Xbox sales tend to have a flashback, current, and set of albums; meanwhile, single sales are less commonly from the service and rather a push from the label that affects most if not all services)
Here are the highlights this week:

Beautiful Now (feat. Jon Bellion) / Zedd - On sale for its third week, I believe

Good Thing (feat. Nick Jonas) / Sage the Gemini - Much like Jealous' start and Chains' big push, Jonas latest is at the bargain price.
