Only 3 songs in the top 10 are fully male. 3, 4, and 5 all in a row!

Yes, but the top 5 songs are all by male leads. Has that happened for a while, or is it more common than I think?

I think that in recent years it's been fairly rare. Time to check..

ETA:
The top four had all male leads in the September 10, 2011 chart:
1. Moves Like Jagger
2. Party Rock Anthem
3. Pumped Up Kicks
4. Lighters
(5. Last Friday Night)

There were also four male leads in the top five fourteen times in the July to November of 2010. None of these were the top four, though.

But the last top five that was made up entirely of male leads happened on May 22, 2010. And guess what, the only female feature was Hayley Williams at #5:

1. Not Afraid
2. OMG
3. Nothin' on You
4. Break Your Heart
5. Airplanes

Other notable drop outs:

Paradise - Coldplay (peak: 15, 20 weeks on the chart)
Love on Top - Beyonce (peak: 20, 20 weeks on the chart)
Give Me All Your Luvin' - Madonna feat M.I.A and Nicki Minaj (peak: 10, 6 weeks on the chart)

Does anyone know where can I find the digital sales of the songs? I would like to know how much Calvin Harris's 'Feel So Close' has sold in the last three weeks (I guess it's nearly 100k in their combined versions) and to date.

Thanks in advance.
