Taylor Swift had a monster first two weeks, totaling north of 850k, and this week’s tally, though off 37%, was enough to take “Bad Blood” to 1.1m and change. There’s also some fresh blood on the leaderboard in the form of the debuting “The Hills,” the lead track from The Weeknd’s upcoming OVO/Republic album, while “Cheerleader” from Ultra/Columbia and Jamaica’s OMI enters the Top 10 behind a 49% increase in its 11th week.
In related news, Apple Music can’t launch soon enough. Track sales were down 6% vs. last week, down 9% vs. same week last year and down 10% year to date. On the other hand, digital album sales are up 1% year to date and make up 46.4% of all albums sold in 2015. So let’s stream tracks and download albums, shall we?
