Magic! and its hit single "Rude" saw a bit of a drop off last week, partially because the band's new album dropped, which removed downloads of the track attached to the record from the "singles" charts. However, perhaps thanks to a humorous parody video response that went viral this week, the track is back at no. 1 with more than 185,000 downloads sold.
The biggest news of the week might be the no. 2 song however. Florida Georgia Line now holds the biggest track debut of the year, as "Dirt" drops with 182,000 copies sold. That's the largest sales week for a country single since Line's own track "Cruise" dominated last July.
Between the high sales for both of those tracks, that means that the two-week reigning no. 1 track dropped to no. 3. Sam Smith and "Stay With Me" remains respectable however, selling 162,000 downloads. Iggy Azalea and "Fancy" slipped at a similar rate, moving 154,000 units and taking the no. 4 spot.
Ariana Grande jumped up a spot despite "Problem" dropping in sales overall. The track moved 124,000 copies last week. Nico & Vinz also moved forward one spot, coming at no. 6 with "Am I Wrong," which sold 111,000 downloads. So how did those tracks, and the ones following it on the chart, jump places despite losing sales? That would be because Grande's other single, "Break Free," hasn't been quite as well received as "Problem," it seems. Although the track debuted with 161,000 downloads last week, it fell 47 percent this week. Still, that's better than 5 Seconds of Summer's "Amnesia," which debuted even higher last week before dropping off the chart altogether this week.
Maroon 5, for the record, actually saw a slight rise in sales, as "Maps" rose to no. 7 while selling 105,000 downloads. Charlie XCX had pulled off an impressive accomplishment, spending three straight week's at the no. 10 spot, but she finally moved up this week, selling 100,000 downloads of "Boom Clap" and settling at no. 8.
Jason Derulo joins "Break Free" with a huge drop off, as "Wiggle" lost 25 percent in sales and took the no. 9 spot with 90,000 copies sold.
