:deadbanana: Taylor

Passing Britney and Katy

Over on the Digital Songs chart, Taylor Swift yet again crowns the list as "I Knew You Were Trouble" bows at No. 1 with 416,000 downloads sold. It marks Swift's second-largest sales week ever for a song: Only the arrival of "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together" sold more (623,000 on the Sept. 1 chart).

"I Knew You Were Trouble" is the fourth of five tracks Swift has released in advance of her "Red" album, due Monday, Oct. 22. Next week will see the chart debut of "State of Grace," which hit retailers at 12 a.m. Tuesday (Oct. 16).

At No. 2 this week on the Digital Songs tally is PSY's "Gangnam Style," which rises two rungs despite a loss in sales. It moved 231,000 last week -- down 10%.

Adele's "Skyfall" sold 199,000 (down 24%) in its first full charting week and holds at No. 3. (Released on the night of Thursday, Oct. 4, it debuted on the chart a week ago with only three full days of sales.)

Maroon 5's "One More Night" is up a slot to No. 4 with 160,000 (down 4%), Ke$ha's "Die Young" rises two to No. 5 (139,000; up less than 1%), and fun.'s "Some Nights" climbs 8-6 with 137,000 (up 7%).

Swift's "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together" falls a slot to No. 7 (124,000; down 17%), Alex Clare's "Too Close" jumps 10-8 (108,000; up 6%), and Rihanna's "Diamonds" is steady at No. 9 (nearly 108,000; down less than 1%). Closing out the top 10 is the title track from Swift's "Red" album (another early-release cut). It falls from No. 2 to No. 10 with 102,000 (down 67%).

With three songs in the top 10 on the chart this week, Swift is only the second act to manage that feat this year -- following Adele. The latter claimed a trio of top 10 titles on both the Feb. 25 and March 3 charts as she basked in the glow of her multiple Grammy Award wins.

Your Body and Die Young sound so amazing on radio, I wonder why they aren't any higher on their own.

Ke¢ha, is suffering from what they call the "2HitWonder" syndrome. It's no different than the "1HitWonder" syndrome really, except these days 1HitWonders are a rare breed because we live in a singles artist age...however, the result will be the same. See, Ciara, Ashanti, Hilary Duff, Miley and (Ke¢ha's long lost twin sis), Ashlee Simpson's careers as examples...

Now ya'll have a nice day...

The Internet is buzzing over "State Of Grace" but I don't think it well sell as much since the album is out next week and the gap on iTunes isn't too big.

I think it will def hit 200,000. But no more than 300,000

For a song not doing too well on radio or charts. That's damn impressive. See: Lady Gaga "Judas" and "Marry The Flop"
