• 'Frozen' Soundtrack Tops Billboard 200 for Second Week

    This week served as another chance for 2013's biggest hits to spend another week in the Billboard Top 10 as only one new release managed to crack into the upper ranks of album sales. The albums that stuck around managed to make some marks however.

  • 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.

  • Frozen Tops Billboard 200, Dethrones Beyoncé and Holds of Eminem

    Temperatures have been cold across the country, and so have album sales.

  • 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).

  • 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.

  • RIAA Issues Platinum/Gold Single and Album Certifications for Fall 2013

  • 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.

  • Ariana Grande Most Popular Twitter Topic During AMA's

    There's been some concern recently over how well or unwell pop music albums have been selling (we admit to have a role in this). Based on social media statistics from this weekend's American Music Awards however, people have no problem watching the same pop stars on television.
