The Billboard 200 didn't let a knew album get to its top place this week, so there's no reason why we should expect the Digital Downloads chart to do anything different.
Pharrell Williams and "Happy" spent their fifth straight week as the most downloaded song in the country. Granted, the single saw a 26 percent drop off in sales, but that was still good enough for 364,000 units sold. That does, however, end the song's three week streak with more than 400,000 downloads.
The next two songs on the list saw increases in sales, but not big enough to challenge Pharrell at the top. John Legend sold 215,000 downloads of "All of Me," a three percent jump from last week. Jason Derulo reversed three week of dropping sales by posting a 1 percent gain for "Talk Dirty." The single sold 198,000 copies, but expect an even bigger boost next week thanks to the viral video featuring unlikely celebrities singing the track.
Katy Perry couldn't reverse the sales decrease for "Dark Horse," but she did gain a place on this week's chart, as she settled at no. 4 with 165,000 downloads sold. The move up was thanks to "Let It Go"'s step down. Although Idina Menzel's track is as viral as ever, the song came back down to Earth after the vocalist performed during the Academy Awards the week before. The track sold 122,000 downloads last week, coming it at no. 5.
The Chainsmokers continued their rapid rise of the charts, jumping from no. 10 to no. 6 this week with "#Selfie," which sold 111,000 downloads, a 26 percent jump from last week. Bastille dropped one place to no. 7 with "Pompeii," which moved 106,000 units. Aloe Blacc and "The Man" stayed still at no. 8, although it dropped 10 percent in sales to 97,000.
Two songs make their debuts in the Top 10 this week, taking the last two spots. "Turn Down For What" marks the first Top 10 appearance for Lil Jon since 2006, as he and DJ Snake sold 83,000 of their new track. The song came to no. 9 from no. 15 last week. The other jumper was less dramatic, as American Authors and "Best Day of My Life" move up from no. 11, selling 82,000 downloads.
