The "Now That's What I Call Music!" franchise collects its 16th No. 1 album on the Billboard 200 as "Now 43" arrives atop the list. The set sold 111,000 copies in its first week according to Nielsen SoundScan

...Over on the Digital Songs chart, Flo Rida's "Whistle" retakes the No. 1 position (217,000; down 2%), pushing Phillip Phillips' "Home" down a spot to No. 2 (212,000; down 7%). Carly Rae Jepsen's "Call Me Maybe" is a non-mover at No. 3 (156,000; down 6%).

Mumford & Sons earn its best sales week ever for a digital song as its new single "I Will Wait" barges in at No. 4 with 153,000. The cut, which is off to a great start on our airplay charts, gives the rock act its first top 10 on Digital Songs. Mumford & Sons has only reached the chart twice before, with "Little Lion Man" (No. 36) and "The Cave" (No. 11). "I Will Wait" is the lead single from the band's upcoming album "Babel," which is due out on Sept. 25.

Fun.'s "Some Nights" slips a rung to No. 5 -- despite a gain -- with 149,000 (up 7%). Katy Perry's "Wide Awake" has its first weekly sales gain in five weeks -- though it's pushed back 5-6 -- with 136,000 (up 5%). The song was temporarily discounted to 69 cents in the iTunes Store last week -- where the vast majority of contemporary hits are sold for $1.29.

Maroon 5's "One More Night" charges 16-7 on Digital Songs with 134,000 (up 71%) while Justin Bieber's "As Long As You Love Me" slips 7-8 (130,000; up 6%). Owl City & Carly Rae Jepsen's "Good Time" holds at No. 9 (122,000; up 3%) and Cher Lloyd's "Want U Back" tumbles 6-10 (117,000; down 5%).

The billboard shade :haha:

Pretty sad Katy's sales only rose by 5% with the discount. It may have gotten her a #1, though, so we'll see.

Magoo, what do you think of Taylor's new single in general? Do you have any insider information on how it did versus BTW?
