Jason Aldean Tops Downloads Chart with 'Burnin' It Down,' But How Long Can He Hold Off MAGIC!, Sam Smith?

Country fans continue to prove their loyalty when an act releases a new single. Jason Aldean becomes the most recent performer to shoot sky-high on the Digital Downloads chart after dropping a new song, as "Burnin' It Down" moved 184,000 downloads and tops the list. Still, it will be more impressive if the song can stay near the top going into next week. Florida Georgia Line debuted at no. 2 a few weeks ago with the single "Dirt," but sales of the track plummeted in its second week. The duo and its song come into its third week at no. 9 with 95,000 downloads. Stay tuned to see how Aldean holds up.

Following Aldean comes a slew of summer standards who have seen a dramatic drop-off in the last week. MAGIC! and "Rude" fall from the top spot for a second time, although this occasion might be permanent. The song fell by 21 percent in sales, settling for 154,000 downloads. Sam Smith saw a less dramatic drop, but his "Stay With Me" still lost 12 percent, which totals 144,000 downloads. "Fancy" by Iggy Azalea also saw a 21 percent decrease, resulting in 123,000 total downloads for the track.

Two songs didn't see huge drops this week. Quite the opposite in fact. Nico & Vinz seemed set to drop from the list altogether after dropping to no. 8 last week, but this week the duo rose 14 percent in total sales for its hit "Am I Wrong," which moved the song back to no. 5 on the chart. The other riser is Meghan Trainor, who rose from no. 18 to no. 6 with her single "All About That Bass." The song sold 103,000 downloads this week.

Maroon 5 has seen a decrease in downloads for its single "Maps" for weeks now, but it's decreases have been consistently lower than those faced by songs 2-4 this week. The track managed just over 103,000 downloads this week, a hair behind Trainor. Ariana Grande moved another 100,000 downloads of "Problem," which settled at no. 8, but those lost downloads may soon be replaced by her new single "Be My Baby."

Rounding off the Top 10 this week is Charlie XCX, who previously spent three straight weeks in the last spot with her single "Boom Clap" before rising a tad up the ranks. The song only moved 87,000 downloads this week, and might get the axe come next week.
