With the advent of technology fusing with music, it is no wonder why it is more convenient for everyone to listen to tracks even before the release of its album. We have all been attracted by huge music streaming outfits such as YouTube, Spotify, Apple Music and many others into believing that music can be replayed whenever you want.
Truthfully, patronizing music and all the things it encompasses have come a long way from being played on turntables or sold via laser disks. As much as we want to go back to the old ways, we all know that the current situation is what’s best for music addicts.
While the power of albums and radio remain significant, more and more music fans have succumbed into getting the latest tracks through modern ways. The people of today have their music libraries on mobile phones and other electronic devices. Listed below are the best-selling digital singles that have dominated the intangible lines of technology, and you’d be shocked to know that it’s not Beyonce or Taylor Swift who’s on top of the food chain.
Canadian-based singer and pop star Carly Rae Jepsen is dubbed as the Queen of Digital Airplay for her song ‘Call Me Maybe’, released in 2011.
It bested other tracks with almost 15.1 million copies sold. Not far behind, the techno group Black Eyed Peas placed second with 15 million copies for their anthem song ‘I Gotta Feeling’.
Collaborations have also made it to the first 10% of the list with the songs Blurred Lines (Robin Thicke, T.I., Pharrell) and Moves Like Jagger (pop group Maroon 5 and pop diva Christina Aguilera) respectively garnering 14.8 and 14.4 million copies purchased online. Solo act Kesha got a spot with the song Tik Tok that has been a humongous banner song of teenagers who think that life is a party, hence the 15 million copies sold as a result.
Of the ballads, Adele’s Someone Like You garnered a total of 9.9 million tied up with another collaboration in the song Just Give Me a Reason by Pink and Nate Reuss. Released in 2002, Eminem’s Lose Yourself secured his influence with 9.7 million copies.
Femme fatales like Beyonce, Leona Lewis and Katy Perry won’t just cease chart domination as their songs ‘Single Ladies’, ‘Bleeding Love’ and ‘Hot N’ Cold’ all reaped a 7.7-million-copy achievement.
Included in the prestigious list are Rihanna for ‘Diamonds’ with 7.5 million, Avril Lavigne and Nicki Minaj shared the 7.2 million mark with hits ‘Girlfriend’ and ‘Starships’, while established rock group Coldplay’s ‘Viva La Vida’ got astounding sales of 7.1 million.
