The Billboard charts reflecting the week following Christmas are out, and there was a MASSIVE surge in downloads... For the first time ever, SoundScan registered over 100,000 downloads in one week for a single song... But the thing is, EVERY song in the top ten had over 100,000 downloads!
Laffy Taffy was the winner with an incredible 175,267 copies sold that week, propelling it to #1 on the Hot 100.
And "Gold Digger" became the third million-selling download in history, following Gwen Stefani's "Hollaback Girl" and Kelly Clarkson's "Since U Been Gone."

Didn't take long after the post-Christmas iPod rush for another single to sell over 100,000 in a week. James Blunt's "You're Beautiful" has scanned over 100,000 three weeks in a row. It sold over twice what Beyonce's "Check On It" did last week, but "Check On It" will still likely be #1 this week because of airplay. It'll be very close.
For anyone who cares, thanks to downloads, ten different singles have become million-sellers in 2005 and 2006, more than there were during the previous FIVE YEARS. They are:
Hollaback Girl - Gwen Stefani
Since U Been Gone - Kelly Clarkson
Gold Digger - Kanye West featuring Jamie Foxx
Beverly Hills - Weezer
My Humps - Black Eyed Peas
Boulevard of Broken Dreams - Green Day
Mr. Brightside - Killers
Photograph - Nickelback
Sugar, We're Goin' Down - Fall Out Boy
Don't Cha - Pussycat Dolls (combined downloads and CD singles makes over a million)
At the rate James Blunt is going, his single should pass a million within 3 to 4 weeks.

Brian:
I've been watching James Blunt's run toward the top of the Billboard Hot 100 with "You're Beautiful" and am dying to see a bonafide pop single make it to #1. Radio airplay has been so heavily skewed toward hip-hop/rap over the past five years that it's become nearly impossible for a song from any other music genre to reach the top of the Hot 100 (unless the song is performed by an American Idol winner). Last week, "You're Beautiful" was #19 on the Airplay chart. If the song can crack the Top 15 in airplay, I think it makes #1 on the Big Chart!

Chart's out. Sigh. Not this week. "Check On It" still #1. Maybe next week.

Todd, you got your wish. "You're Beautiful" will be #1 on the Hot 100 next week, the first time since Clay Aiken that a pop song has hit #1.
http://www.billboard.com/bbcom/news/article_display.jsp?vnu_ content_id=1002114268
It was close, too:
James
Hot 100 Airplay: 55.95 million
Digital Sales (X2): 195.92
Total: 251.87
Beyonce
Hot 100 Airplay: 139.88 million
Digital Sales (X2): 102.51
Commercial Single (X2): 8.37
Total: 250.76
Difference: 1.11
Blunt also jumps from No. 16 to No. 11 in Hot 100 Airplay. Soundscan has monitored 881,882 downloads of the single so far, 97,961 this week alone.

Yeah, I'm stunned to FINALLY see a pop song actually grace the #1 spot on the Hot 100 again. But it amazes me that even with close to 100,000 downloads and a #11 placement on the Airplay chart that "You're Beautiful" still only manages to eak out the top spot by the absolute slimmest of margins.
The stay at #1 for James Blunt may very well be a brief one though as "So Sick" by Ne-Yo will have its first full week of download sales tallied toward the Hot 100 next week. Combined sales and airplay points will make that song a serious challenger for #1.

I had to post this. Some of you may know that Shakira's record label has been withholding her song "Hips Don't Lie" from release as an individual download, waiting until airplay peaked to try to get a high charter on the Hot 100.
Well, their strategy worked: the pent-up demand for a single has led to a massive 266,664 downloads of the song on this week's chart! The previous record holder for most downloads in a single week was Laffy Taffy at 175,267, but that was the week after Christmas, when everyone was testing out their new iPods.
This will certainly place "Hips Don't Lie" at #1 on the Hot 100, making it the Latin diva's first #1 hit.

Two years on from my starting this thread, it seems incredible that I was impressed at "Laffy Taffy" selling 175,000 downloads during the post-Christmas week in 2005.
This year, the #1 download for the same week sold 467,000! What's more, every single in the top ten on Hot Digital Songs sold over 200,000!
At least 49 songs peaking in 2007 sold -- or clearly will sell -- over a million copies. SouljaBoy's smash "Crank That" is about to cross the three million mark, making it the biggest-selling download so far. And Fergie's latest hit "Clumsy" just became her fifth million-selling single from her solo debut, making her the first artist to achieve such a feat.
Here is a list (certainly incomplete) of all the million-selling downloads I know of to date, compiled from SoundScan figures and RIAA certs. They're roughly in peak-date order.

Holy crap! For anyone who hasn't heard, the new Flo Rida single "Right Round" has sold an unprecented 636,000 downloads in its debut week! The only time we've seen numbers even approaching these has been the week following Christmas, when everyone was using their iTunes gift cards and new iPods. Unbelievable.
Incidentally, the RIAA certified 82 Platinum (million-selling) digital singles in 2008. That's the most certified million-sellers in one year, ever -- more than the 72 certified at the previous peak year of 1979 and the 71 in 1978.
Seems it's time for the RIAA to upgrade Platinum to two million and Gold back to a million, like it was up until 1989.

OK I'll bite. As a middle-aged guy who lives in a market with no CHR, what is "Laffy Taffy" Title? Artist? I didn't notice it on the list of top-selling singles.
Guess I'm getting old...at best I only knew maybe 40% of the listed million sellers (though I recognized most of the artists).

Looking back at the tracks that got downloaded so much 3 years ago, it begs a question. As a mobile entertainer, we always want to have the 'hits' as we do events.
In the last 5-10 years, it amazes me how short the life span of a song is. Laffy Taffy was HUGE 3 years ago, yet I haven't had a request for it in 2 years. In fact, that original list Brian posted from 2006 would probably send some people to their seats if played today at an event.
Music that's 15-35 years and older seems to have stood the test of time. Anyone have thoughts?

To John [eriejwg]:
Yes, I have thoughts.
Before the Telecom act of 1996 there were less super-serving formats on radio. More radio stations played a wider variety of hit *sounds*.
A wider demographic (& psychographic) actually HEARD the hit records. In a mobile DJ setting people generally need to KNOW the song to respond favorably (I.E. dance).
With today's niche formats a HUGE format hit (say Buckcherry's "Crazy Bitch") isn't even known by the people who only listen to, say, the Top-40, Adult Top-40, AC, Rhythmic, Urban, Country & AAA formats!
Same thing with a huge Rhythmic or Urban hit; the people that listen to Alternative & Active Rock formats don't get a chance to even hear the song. So unless one's spouse or family member blasts a different format of radio in the house, people tend not to seek out the sounds they don't normally prefer.
In the year 1967 for example, all Top-40 listeners HEARD "Light My Fire", "To Sir With Love" & "Respect".
Songs rarely reach critical mass these days, except within their own boundaries.

Comparing 1967 to today is rather tough.
Today's CHR is far from mass appeal.
Its become a niche itself.
I'm not sure how much the Telecom act had on the format, but even at that time the CHR became polarizing.
"Crack A Bottle" had a huge amount of downloads just last week.
Because of its horrendous subject matter its only played at night on most CHR's.
Although if you heard it you wouldn't want your kids listening to that rubbish even at night when the majority of listeners are kids.
The fact that had a large amount of downloads really mean it was a "hit" in the original sense of the word?
The picture is extremely blurry these days.
I agree with eriejwg music from the last ten years or so has very little lasting value to anyone.

Agreed. Radio formats were already fragmenting before 1996, the Telcom act may have accellerated the process, but the trend was already in place. I'd say the rock world was the first to see this in the early 80s when alternative rock hit the scene. For the most part, the crowd that was into Journey, Pink Floyd, Led Zep and all didn't much care for these new acts, and vice versa. And it snowballed from there.
As far as the shorter shelf life of music today, could it be that music just isn't as important to Gen Y as it was to the boomers and Gen X'ers? What once was the soundtrack to our lives has become disposable background music. Witness the popularity of relatively lo-fi mp3's.
Different generation, different culture. To them having a permanent music collection is as foreign as texting, Facebook, etc. is to me.

Agreed. Most of the people I know seem to love the '70s and '80s. There's not too much love for today's hits - for the most part, they're very forgettable.
For the most part, the music industry has lost me as a customer. Just about all the music I get now are older vinyl records from e-bay or record shows. There's hardly anything current that I buy. I even stopped reading Billboard 5 years ago (should have stopped sooner as those old issues take up too much room), but I still keep up with the charts online.
I'd eventually love to convert my whole collection to computer and do some DJ work focusing mainly on older tunes. Not sure how feasable that is though...

To Hykker:
Regarding your statement "Radio formats were already fragmenting before 1996, the Telcom act may have accellerated the process, but the trend was already in place" that, of course, is absolutely correct.
The reason why the Telecom Act, I believe, put the 'final nails in the coffin' and is so relevent to (eriejwg) John's question is because after that point if any radio station listener requested an out-of-format hit, the DJ could say something like "just tune in to our sister station WXXX if you like that song" because soon enough most radio chains soon had their bases covered musically.
Prior to that, with more radio station owners in each market, at least many of the absolute biggest records were heard on many peoples' favorite stations out of necessity. For example major Prince cuts like "When Doves Cry" were played on many AOR [rock] stations because they were undeniable and the station owners did not necessarily own a CHR or Urban station in the market to guide a Prince fan to. If Eminem's aforementioned "Crack A Bottle" hit came out in, say 1985, Rock formats probably would have played the song in at least light rotation - to prevent fans of Eminem migrating to another owners' station.

Oh I would have to disagree. As someone who has the opportunity to work with many teenagers, I am always seeing them either hooked up to an IPOD or with music blaring out of their cell phone. Music is equally important, if not more so, to this generation than any other. The difference is that now music is no longer a shared experience with boom boxes and hi-fi systems, it is a personal one with "ear buds." As a result, not all kids like the same music anymore like they did 20,30,40 years ago. Music itself though is still very important.
As for the quality issue, MP3s can still sound good, even if it doesn't match that of a CD. But the portability can't be beat. Heck, at some point most of us chose to buy a cassette or 8-track knowing full well that it wouldn't sound as good as the LP.

I have a few questions about about constitutes a digital download:
1) Are all downloads sites looked at (i.e. i-tunes, Rhapsody, 7digital, etc.)?
2) If a site like Rhapsody is included, does it take into consideration those who purchase the unlimited downloads per month package vs. just purchasing a single track?
3) What if someone purchase the entire album with a particular song on it.... Does that constitute a digital single sale?
