"Timber" seemed like it might have been ready to hold down the Digital Downloads chart for a while, but another track had other ideas.
More than five weeks ago, "Say Something" by A Great Big World feat. Christina Aguilera hit no. 1 on the Digital Downloads chart before falling off the list. During the last month, it's continued to climb and has retaken the top spot this week, moving 233,000 downloads last week, a 41 percent increase.
"Timber" only dropped 3 percent in downloads however, so Pitbull and Ke$ha could easily make a run back at the top spot next week. The track sold 187,000 downloads this week.
"The Monster" moved back another spot to no. 3, despite the debut of its music video this week. Eminem hasn't said anything, but those affiliated with Rihanna's crew have suggested that Beyonce's surprise album release was done strictly to screw with "The Monster's" debut. The track sold 175,000 downloads, a five percent decrease.
OneRepublic maintained the no. 4 spot with "Counting Stars," which moved 145,000 downloads. Passenger continued his slow climb to the top, selling another 118,000 downloads of "Let Her Go" while moving up one spot to no. 5. One Direction's "Story of My Life" dropped one spot to no. 6 with 108,000 downloads.
Lorde remains relevant at no. 7, with "Royals" selling 98,000 downloads, the first time in quite a while that the track failed to break 100,000 downloads sold. Imagine Dragons and "Demons" placed at no. 8 while moving another 90,000 copies.
Two tracks debuted within the Top 10 this week. The first was Ellie Goulding's "Burn," which moved up from no. 11 to no. 9 with 84,000 downloads. Justin Bieber's "Confident," which features Chance The Rapper, made its debut at no. 10 with 77,000 downloads.
