Best Selling Digital Songs - Digital Era

[franzjoseph]

How much is Call Me Maybe at now?

[Chris Ng]

I wonder if What The Hell already passed 2 million mark digitally ? Anyone has its sales ?

[iMustConfess]

@8 <3: Paul at Yahoo! Chart Watch probably would have made note if "What The Hell" passed 2 million, he does with most if not all songs that reach new landmarks.

[Rodze]

There's an official thread to ask for sales fixed just up there.

I don't know if anyone bothers to answer stuff on it, though.

[Agent Yoncé]

#1 Somebody That I Used To Know 6,300m
#2 Call Me Maybe 5,531m (just surpassed fun. this week)
#3 We Are Young 5,515m

[Rodze]

Attention to one detail: Those are only how much the songs sold in 2012, not their overall total.

CMM was released in 2012, so its total is the same.

STIUTK should be 6.384 million and WAY, 5.664 million.

[Enigma.]

Huge thanks!

But doesn't Rihanna have ten singles at 3m+? I'm thinking of Umbrella..

Umbrella, Don’t Stop the Music, Live Your Life, Disturbia, Run This Town, Only Girl (In the World), What’s My Name, S&M, Love the Way You Lie, We Found Love.

Yes, she has! Thank you for pointing on my mistake, I just forgot it.
You may just tell me if I overlooked any song and I'll correct my list.

[imbondz]

just think how much more they'd all be if people didn't still music.

[Deleted]

^That is a question I have always wondered. I haven't seen any real good estimates of how much music is downloaded illegally. The guesses are usually all over the place.

[Rodze]

Announcement: Soundscan Data

I don't want people who have access to SoundScan to lose their access just because you're too lazy to read the forum.

Especially digital songs sales, which we hadn't gotten in AGES.

[dlostfan]

Anybody knows the sales figure for Lights?

Idk if it helps but is passed 3 million recently

[dlostfan]

Doesn't help much..... but thanks. :)

[Deleted]

3,184,000 (rounded)

[dlostfan]

Thanks very much.

What was the last definitive officially reported number for lights and when was it reported?

[Deleted]

That is the current rounded number (9/22 chart date)

[Whi$tlin' Pete]

"Heartless" from Kanye West, and "Like A G6" by Far East Movement, both top the 4 million mark in sales this week.

[when the pawn...]

Gotye has now passed "Low" and closing in on "Boom Boom Pow".

[Whi$tlin' Pete]

Li$tenToARTPOP, in your list you have "Give Me Everything" listed as selling 3 million. I thought it hit 4 million in late January or early February. Am I wrong? Can anyone confirm?

[Rodze]

GME is over 4.4 million.

Honestly, I tried to find some legit information on RIAA and other sites, but it was useless. If you can prove it, I'll edit my post. On the other hand, I believe it already passed 4 million.

Edit:
Sorry, it passed 4 million in late January.
music.yahoo.com/blogs/chart-watch/week-ending-jan-29-2012-songs-super-promotional-015633778.html

"Give Me Everything" by Pitbull featuring Ne-Yo, Afrojack and Nayer tops the 4 million mark in digital sales this week. It's the biggest hit for all concerned. Pitbull's previous best-seller was Enrique Iglesias' "I Like It," on which he was featured, which has sold 3,682,000 copies. Ne-Yo's was Keri Hilson's "Knock You Down," on which he and Kanye West were featured, which has sold 2,225,000.

[Whi$tlin' Pete]

We have two additions this week. Bruno Mars and "It Will Rain" hits 3 million in sales, and Justin Timberlake's 2006 number 1 smash "Sexyback" hits the 4 miilion mark.
