Meghan Trainor has risen to the top of the Billboard Digital Download charts once again, marking the third time that "All About That Bass" has held the top spot. The song experienced a drop in sales over the week but not enough to stop her from passing Taylor Swift and "Shake It Off." "Bass" sold 253,000 downloads while "Shake" sold 224,000. The pair of songs have switched places twice now but if sales keep dropping this may mark the end of "Shake"s run at the top.
Meanwhile "Bang Bang" has had a markedly not-back-and-forth run at the no. 3 spot on the chart. The song-by Ariana Grande, Jessie J and Nicki Minaj-sold 125,000 downloads this week and remained in the same spot it has held for six weeks now, with no competition close enough to catch and none close enough to catch up.
One act that is moving up, albeit slowly, is Swedish pop vocalist Tove Lo and her single "Habits (Stay High)." The song rose by 1 percent this week with 109,000 downloads sold. The song replaces Iggy Azalea's "Black Widow," which fell to no. 5 with 104,000 in sales.
Despite low sales all over the place, the Digital Downloads Top 10 is looking might fine for country music or at least Jason Aldean. The star debuts at no. 6 with his new single "Tonight Looks Good on You," which sold 90,000 downloads. That makes Aldean the most recent performer to be in the Top 10 on multiple songs this year—joining Grande, Azalea, Minaj and Jason Derulo for 2014—as his "Burnin' It Down" holds the no. 9 spot with 77,000 copies sold. Minaj retains the title of a twofer, as her "Anaconda" sits at no. 7 with 89,000 copies moved.
Clean Bandit and "Rather Be" was one of two songs to see a genuine increase in sales this week, although it still lost a spot, falling to no. 8 with 87,000 downloads moved. Kendrick Lamar is the second debut of the week, taking the no. 10 spot with "I," which debuted with 76,000 downloads. Look for that one to move up soon.
