LADY GAGA FIRST ARTIST WITH TWO 7-MILLION-SELLING DOWNLOADS

Hey @gthot20! Any idea the current sales for "Just Dance"? Has it passed 7 million downloads, making @ladygaga the first to earn that honor twice?

Hi Vivi,

As if she needed another, here's another reason why Gaga makes for such a worthy recipient of the honor of Billboard's Woman of the Year for 2015: with "Just Dance" (featuring Colby O'Donis) having passed 7 million downloads sold, according to Nielsen Music, she is the only artist with two 7-million selling downloads. "Just Dance" (7.01 million, through the week ending Sept. 24) joined "Poker Face," which has sold 7.25 million.

Notably, she could soon be joined by the Black Eyed Peas, as the group's "I Gotta Feeling" has sold 8.7 million, while "Boom Boom Pow" is on the doorstep of the 7-million mark, at 6.9 million.

If we expand to songs that have sold at least 6 million downloads, Gaga and the Peas are two of seven acts with multiple such hits. The rest of the select group:

Adele ("Rolling in the Deep," 8.4 million; "Someone Like You," 6 million)
Eminem ("Lose Yourself," 6.7 million; "Love the Way You Lie," feat. Rihanna, 6.5 million)
LMFAO ("Party Rock Anthem," feat. Lauren Bennett and GoonRock, 8.1 million; "Sexy and I Know It," 6.4 million)
Bruno Mars ("Just the Way You Are," 6.7 million; "Grenade," 6.1 million)

… and … the only artist with three 6-million-selling downloads: Katy Perry ("Firework," 7 million; "Roar," 6.11 million; "Dark Horse," feat. Juicy J, 6.08 million)

Meanwhile, the top five best-selling downloads, release-to-date: "I Gotta Feeling," the Black Eyed Peas, 8.7 million; "Rolling in the Deep," Adele, 8.4 million; "Party Rock Anthem," LMFAO feat. Lauren Bennett and GoonRock, 8.1 million; "Somebody That I Used to Know," Gotye feat. Kimbra, 7.9 million; "Radioactive," Imagine Dragons, 7.8 million.
