Top 10 tracks

TOP 10 TRACKS: Robin Thicke once again sold north of 300k, but the mega-smash was bumped from the top perch by the wildly popular One Direction, whose “Best Song Ever” looks massive from the getgo. Another debut—from Nickelodeon starlet Ariana Grande—joined the big boys and girls during an otherwise down sales week.

1. One Direction, “Best Song Ever” – 322k
2. Robin Thicke, “Blurred Lines” – 312k
3. Miley Cyrus, “We Can’t Stop” – 191k
4. Jay Z f/Justin Timberlake, “Holy Grail” – 160k
5. Imagine Dragons, “Radioactive” – 159k
6. Ariana Grande, “Baby I” – 141k
7. Florida Georgia Line, “Cruise” – 119k
8. Daft Punk f/Pharrell, “Get Lucky” – 114k
9. Bruno Mars, “Treasure” – 110k
10. Macklemore & Ryan Lewis, “Same Love” – 105k

Two other records are charging toward the leaders: the exploding “Beneath Your Beautiful” from RCA’s Labrinth featuring Emeli Sandé, which rockets from #50 to #13, selling 92k (+176%), and right behind it the debuting “Burn” from Interscope’s Ellie Goulding, with 82k. (8/1a)
