TOP 10 TRACKS OF THE WEEK: “Thrift Shop” simply will not budge from the top spot on the sales chart. Last week’s top three sellers are this week’s top three sellers, though none of them increased over the previous week. Baauer slips two positions, confirming that “Gangnam Style” it ain’t. P!nk is vaulting upward like Blake Griffin, even with Fun.’s Nate Ruess hanging on her shoulder; let’s see whether she has Blake’s hang time.
1. Macklemore & Ryan Lewis, “Thrift Shop” – 270k
2. Bruno Mars, “When I Was Your Man” – 230k
3. Rihanna f/Mikky Ekko, “Stay” – 222k
4. Justin Timberlake f/Jay-Z, “Suit & Tie” – 201k
5. P!nk f/Nate Ruess, “Just Give Me a Reason” – 170k
6. Baauer, “Harlem Shake” – 145k
7. Pitbull f/Christina Aguilera,” Feel This Moment” – 136k
8. Justin Timberlake, “Mirrors” – 121k
9. Drake, “Started From the Bottom” – 118k
10. Imagine Dragons, “Radioactive” – 102k
The big story once again is RCA, which has four entries in the Top 10, with Justin Timberlake accounting for two of them, as “Mirrors” hits the leaderboard. What’s more, all of them are up—“Suit & Tie” +33%, “Mirrors” +205% (!), P!nk/Ruess +40% and Pitbull/Xtina +8%—while the other six tracks are down. It’s good to be Peter Edge and Tom Corson these days. (3/22a)
