Meghan Trainor doesn't seem to be the only one who's "All About That Bass." The track held down the no. 1 spot on the Digital Downloads chart for a second week, with sales growing even faster this time around. The single sold 239,000 copies last week, a 21 percent rise, and a total that more than doubles every other track on the charts aside from two.
Still, it's perhaps more fair to claim that this week's Top 10 belongs to Ariana Grande. The no. 2 song on this list, "Bang Bang," belongs to her, Nicki Minaj and Jessie J. That track sold another 131,000 copies and kept its place. No. 4 track "Break Free" belongs almost entirely to Grande however (with some help from Zedd). That song jumped back into the Top 10 from no. 14 with 116,000 downloads thanks to her new Barbarella-themed music video. Finally, the pop star landed the no. 6 spot with her new single "Best Mistake," which sold 104,000 copies. The trifecta makes Grande the first woman ever to have three singles in the Top 6, plus makes her the first performer in general to have three of the first six spots was Michael Jackson following his 2009 death.
You can some more tinder to Minaj's solo-beef with Iggy Azalea. It seemed that Minaj proved triumphant when her "Anaconda" single debuted at no. 2 last week, while Azalea's "Black Widow" debuted at no. 8. Minaj's track fell out of the Top 10 immediately however while Azalea's rose to no. 3 with 125,000 downloads. The Australian may have gotten a boost from her Kill Bill-themed video, and Minaj's new clip featuring Drake may revitalize "Anaconda" next week. In other Azalea news, "Fancy" fell out of the Top 10 for the first time in months.
Sam Smith sold another 105,000 downloads of "Stay With Me" and fell one spot to no. 4. MAGIC! and "Rude" lost a little bit more ground, as its 104,000 in sales caused it to fall two spots to no. 7.
A new track made its firs gentry into the Top 10 this week. Clean Bandit has already topped the UK charts with its "Rather Be" but is now making a move at American audiences. The track rose from no. 12 with 95,000 downloads sold.
Jason Aldean and Sia both sold 23,000 copies of their respective singles, although may gather different emotions from it. Aldean and "Burnin' It Down" may be on its way out as it dropped 13 percent in sales and three chart spots, while Sia's "Chandelier" has remained near the back of the Top 10 for some time and actually saw a 3 percent rise in sales last week.
