Kesha Rose Sebert, who previously performed under the name Ke$ha, and her former producer-songwriter Dr. Luke are still locked in a legal battle. Now, for the first time, Sony Music breaks its silence on the sexual abuse lawsuit that has been headlining for months. This past Friday (Sept. 18) Kesha asked for a preliminary injunction against her accused sexual abuser, Dr. Luke, real name Lukasz Gottwald, meaning that a judge will have to rule on the validity of her recording contracts sooner rather than later. -
Pharrell Williams and 'Happy' Dominate Digital Downloads Chart
The Billboard 200 was awash with debut albums this week, but things largely remained the same over on the Digital Downloads chart. Although every track in the Top 10 is the same as last week, there was some shuffling. -
Pharrell Williams and 'Happy' Top Digital Downloads Chart for Second Week
This week was pretty boring on the Digital Downloads charts, as the top five songs remained exactly the same as last week. Among those top five there was a huge divergence in those who gained versus those who lost however. -
Pharrell Williams 'Happy' to Top Digital Downloads Chart
Things are looking optimistic for America, as Pharrell Williams' track "Happy" rose to the top of the Billboard Digital Downloads chart last week (not that a song named "Sad" was ever at the top). Williams got a continued boost from radio play, Beats commercials, DVD sales of Despicable Me 2, The NBA All-Star Game...just about everything. The track jumped 31 percent in sales and moved 329,000. -
Katy Perry Tops Digital Downloads Chart for Fifth Straight Week with 'Dark Horse'
Last week's Digital Downloads chart was dominated by songs that received reinvigorating performances during the Grammys, but now things have shifted back to normal. Supposedly. Still, the top spot is still held by a Grammy performance track. -

Katy Perry Rides 'Dark Horse' to Third Straight Week atop Digital Downloads Chart
Just last week were commenting on how songs have a tendency to hold the top spot of the Billboard Digital Downloads chart for two weeks, but almost as soon as we said it, a song held on for a third week at no. 1. -
Katy Perry Stays Second Week atop Digital Downloads Chart with 'Dark Horse'
An interesting trend has developed over on the Billboard Digital Downloads charts: A streak of two-week streaks. The previous five songs to hold the no. 1 spot in the Top 10 have appeared there for exactly two weeks before being replaced by a different song. -
Katy Perry Rides 'Dark Horse' to Top of Digital Downloads Charts; Aloe Blacc Rises with 'The Man'
The Top 10 albums from last week might not have featured too many new entries, but the Digital Downloads Top 10 indicates that new players are looking to make a run at the top. The top six tracks are all returnees, but nos. 7-10 are all new from last week. We'll start with the old favorites for the sake of numerical ordering. -
Pitbull, Ke$ha and 'Timber; Rule Digital Downloads Again
Last week's Digital Downloads Top 10 (Top 50 for that matter) all saw an increase in sales thanks to the giving of iTunes gift cards, etc. during the holidays. That resulted in this week's inevitable drop off for all of the songs in the Top 10, which all saw a decrease in sales from last week. That doesn't mean sales were bad however: Five songs still broke 200,000 in total downloads, up from the typical two or three. -
Pitbull, Ke$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). -

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. -

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. -
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.
