Meghan Trainor Takes Digital Downloads Chart as Taylor Swift, Nicki Minaj and Ariana Grande see Big Drops
Normally it's album sales that we worry about...digital downloads have continued to rise and even record-low record sales don't correlate with the success of the hit singles from those albums.

It sold 230,000 downloads, a total only surpassed by Grande's "Problem" for most debut downloads this year. That song, however, fell out of the Top 10 this week. Closing out this week at no. 10 was Maroon 5's "It Was Always You," which sold 95,000 downloads, not at all a bad start. -

Sia Tops Slow Week on Billboard 200
