Katy Perry topped the downloaded singles charts for four straight weeks, and she was finally brought down a notch (but only one notch). This week's Top 10 most downloaded singles are the exact same list as last week, but in a different order.
MOVING UP
As we mentioned, Perry and "Roar" got knocked out of the top spot, but by who? The answer is the biggest and most outrageous name in music right now: Miley Cyrus. "Wrecking Ball" fell back to no. 10 even with its kinky construction video debuting, but Cyrus promised fans she'd reveal the tracklist for the deluxe edition of "Bangerz" if the song went to no. 1. Check back later to see if she comes through. Lady Gaga's "Applause" remained relevant, jumping up one spot from no. 6 to no. 5. Drake saw a slight jump as well for his "Hold On, We're Going Home," which settled at no. 8, as listeners get ready for his new album next week.
STAYING PUT
Jay Z and Justin Timberlake seem to have found a nice spot at no. 7. The track "Holy Grail" has now stayed at numero siete for three straight weeks.
HEADING DOWN
The huge jump from "Wrecking Ball" caused some other artists to lose spots on the chart despite having a successful sales week. "Roar" still an impressive 331,000, making it the 12th single from Perry to go double-platinum. Lorde and Avicii both saw increases in sales for their respective singles, "Royals" and "Wake Me Up!," but each lost a spot. Eminem dropped to no. 6 with "Berzerk" and Lana Del Rey's "Summertime Sadness" continues to flirt with the edge of the list, at no. 10.
Perhaps the most interesting tidbit was Robin Thicke's "Blurred Lines" dropping four spots to no. 9. Arguably the song of the summer, has the public finally had enough of Thicke's hit? Only next week's charts will tell for sure, but the songs has been sitting comfortably in the middle of the Top 10 for 22 weeks now.
