SALES UPDATE:
TOP 10 TRACKS

Columbia has landed a third record in the Top 5, as One Direction’s latest smash joins the initial smashes from OMI and Rachel Platten. The other two Top 5 tracks—from The Weeknd and the debuting Drake—are from Republic, as is a second Weeknd hit at #7, meaning the two labels battling for weekly and YTD marketshare dominance continue trading haymakers. This one is far from over, as I.B. Bad explains in his latest column.
