Temperatures have been cold across the country, and so have album sales. Due to the end of the year and the low number of new releases that comes with it, the Top 10 of the Billboard 200 features a slew of familiar faces, but at least the door opened up for a few hits from throughout 2013 to make a reappearance. -
Singles by Robin Thicke, Macklemore & Ryan Lewis, and Imagine Dragons Top Downloads for 2013
Yesterday we reported the final weekly Top 10 Digital Downloads list of 2013, but now we have a special end-of-year treat: The Top 10 most downloaded songs for the entire year, as found by our pals at Billboard and Nielsen Soundscan. -
Pitbull, Ke$ha, Eminem and Rihanna End Year Atop Billboard Digital Downloads Chart
Music Times warned you that the final Digital Downloads' chart of the year would be chalk full of sales thanks to people cashing in on the iTunes/download cards they received for Christmas. And sure enough, it was a huge week. Every song in the Top 50 saw a sales increase, and 46 of those tracks saw rises of more than 100 percent (aka doubling in sales since last week). -
Beyonce, One Direction, 'Frozen' Soundtrack Make Moves on Billboard 200
Last week was the last for musicians to make a statement on the charts for 2013, and at least four albums left a mark during the closing moments of the year. Let's start with the notable accomplishers. -
A Great Big World Tops Digital Downloads Top 10 Again
The end of the year didn't bring any new albums to the Billboard 200 Top 10 this week, and the Top 10 of the Digital Downloads charts didn't bring too many fresh faces either. -
Beyoncé Tops Billboard 200 for Second Week
The year is coming to a close, and that means you shouldn't expect too many new releases coming down the pipe. This week's Top 10 of the Billboard 200 didn't have any new entries, so expect to see some familiar names. -
Beyoncé Zeitgeist Leads to Billboard 200 Victory over Garth Brooks, Kelly Clarkson
Beyoncé's new album was totally unannounced, plus it came out on Thursday versus the traditional Tuesday release, plus it was only available on iTunes, so there's no way that it could have made a big Billboard 200 impact, right? HA. -
Pitbull and Ke$ha beat Eminem and Rihanna for Digital Downloads in Slow Sales Week
For some odd reason, Christmas singles don't sell. Although the Billboard 200 was full of suddenly-popular CD's containing boatloads of "chestnuts," the Digital Downloads Top 10 didn't reflect the same. Which isn't to say that popular music downloads did particularly well either. -
Garth Brooks Sells Strong, Britney Spears Debuts Weak on Billboard 200
Album sales were down from last week, but last week's totals included Black Friday, so it was bound to happen. That doesn't mean Black Friday's stars were ready to give up their spots on the Top 10 however. -
Pitbull and Eminem Clash for Top-Downloaded Track from Thanksgiving Week
For once, the album sales for the previous week made more headlines than the digital downloads, but that doesn't mean that singles are doing badly at all. In fact, after just declaring last week that Eminem's "The Monster" could hold down the top spot for weeks to come, a new track took its place. -
One Direction Tops Black Friday Album Sales Race
We've been real downers for the last couple months with regards to album sales. If you haven't read the news, music sales are down across nearly every format (aside from vinyl), and this has reflected in new releases too, even with some of the biggest stars. What the industry needed was a good Black Friday to boost sales. And boost did it ever. -
'The Monster' and 'Royals' Biggest Names in Holiday Downloads Battle
Album sales may have been down over on the Billboard 200, but singles downloads continued to be hot over on the Digital Downloads charts. The Top 10 sold a combined 5,000 more downloads than last week-a slight rise-but still impressive considering the recent increase in mp3 sales. -

Digital Download Roundup: Eminem's Back On Top, OneRepublic Coming Strong
Eminem's Marshall Mathers LP 2 may have dropped off nearly 75 percent since last week (it still sold more than 200,000 copies), but that only meant good things for sales of his individual tracks this week. -
