hausofmike 127 Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 Over on the Digital Songs chart, Katy Perry rules at No. 1 for a third week with "Roar," selling 448,000 downloads. The song gained 14% in weekly sales, thanks in part to Perry's performance of the cut on the Aug. 25 VMAs. "Roar" debuted at No. 1 with 557,000, then slipped to 392,000 in its second week. At No. 2 on Digital Songs this week is a new entry from Eminem, whose "Berzerk" blasts in with 362,000 downloads. "Berzerk" is the first single from "The Marshall Mathers LP 2," due Nov. 5. Sales for "Berzerk" are comparable to the first-week performance of his last album's first single, "Not Afraid." That 2010 song, which led "Recovery," bowed at No. 1 on the Digital Songs chart with 379,000. Thicke's "Blurred Lines," featuring T.I. and Pharrell, falls 2-3 this week with 244,000 (down 3%). Lady Gaga's "Applause," meanwhile, rises 5-4 with 213,000 (up 31%). "Blurred Lines" and "Applause" were both performed on the VMAs. (A decline for "Blurred" this week isn’t surprising, as the song had already peaked in sales weeks ago. This is its fourth consecutive weekly dip in sales.) Meanwhile, Miley Cyrus  who sang "Blurred Lines" on the VMAs with Thicke after performing her hit "We Can't Stop"  jumps 13-5 with her new track, "Wrecking Ball." It moved 201,000 downloads in its first full week on sale (up 124%), after bowing last week with 90,000 after less than two full days of availability. (It went on sale on Saturday, Aug. 24.) Avicii's "Wake Me Up!" is pushed back 3-6, despite a 1% gain this week. It sold 176,000, up from 175,000 a week ago. Jay Z's "Holy Grail," featuring Timberlake, falls 4-7 with 170,000 (down less than 1%). Lorde's "Royals," like "Wake Me Up!," is also forced down the chart, slipping 6-8 with 167,000, though it gains by 16%. Cyrus also has another song in the top 10: "We Can't Stop" descends 7-9 with 157,000 (though it's up by 10%). It was part of a three-song medley that Cyrus performed on the VMAs with Thicke, 2 Chainz and Kendrick Lamar. Drake's "Hold On, We're Going Home" (featuring Majid Jordan), another cut performed on the VMAs, returns to the top 10 after a two-week absence, climbing 12-10. The song moved 141,000 downloads  up 57%. Digital track sales this past week totaled 22.6 million downloads, up 2% compared with last week (22.1 million) and down less than 1% stacked next to the comparable week of 2012 (22.6 million). Year-to-date track sales are at 888 million, down 3% compared with the same total at this point last year (916.3 million). http://www.billboard.com/articles/ne...-billboard-200 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

CHANTEL 2 Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 i think Berzerk will debut at #5 keeping Gaga at her position but maybe next week it will pass Applause unless he keeps dropping Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nick4bty 2,758 Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 I'm guessing another week at #4 for Applause Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Klou 2,414 Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 Isn't Berzerk dropping tho? Yeah, but we're talking about last weeks's sales where it sold 362K. We also have to keep in mind that it had some radio airplay and a good amount of streaming. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeffSwift 314 Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 that's the biggest mistake her and Interscope can make.. Why? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mariano 958 Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 How in the world is focusing on Applause a mistake? what's there to focus on tho ? the GMA performance will be more than enough .. She had Music Video premiered on Time Square, she had VMAs, Itunes Fest and now GMA... I think that's more than enough. P!nk performed Try like once or twice in the USA and It had such a longevity... There is no point in overpromoting Applause It will never ever hit 3M and that's really dissapointing, atleast don't ruin the rest of the era with overexposing Gaga... Why?
