Blake Shelton beats out Taylor Swift’s previously Target-exclusive single to take #1 on this week’s Roughstock Top 30 Digital Singles Sales Report.
As mentioned in the headline, Blake Shelton debuts at #1 on our Digital Singles sales report with nearly 100,000 fans purchasing “Sure Be Cool if You Did” this week. The next single on this list is superstar Taylor Swift with “The Moment I Knew,” one of the few previously Target-exclusive bonus tracks from “Red.” Last week’s #1, “Cruise” from Florida Georgia Line slides to #3 and is followed by The Band Perry’s “Better Dig Two,” the lead single from their as-yet-unnamed sophomore album. Hunter Hayes “Wanted” hits the #5 slot this week with sales now well over 2.3 million (just as the single continues to rise on Pop and Adult Contemporary radio charts).
Gold-selling “Every Storm (Runs Out Of Rain)” Top 5 At Radio.
Top 5 this week at Country Radio, Gary Allan’s ‘comeback’ hit “Every Storm (Runs Out Of Rain)” leads the second-half of this week’s Top 10 Digital Singles. The song is from Gary’s new album “Set You Free,” set to be ‘freed’ on Tuesday January 22, 2013. Taylor Swift’s “We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together” is next with sales surpassing 3.2 million this week while Jason Aldean’s “The Only Way I Know” is poised to break Gold in the next couple of weeks, the same which can be said for #10 single this week, “Tornado,” the now hit title track from Little Big Town’s fourth Capitol album (in between the songs is Carrie Underwood’s last hit “Blown Away”).
