Music Biz News: Hip Hop Single Sales- Bruno Mars, Migos & Rae Sremmurd, more
New York City, NY – This week on the R&B/Hip Hop single sales chart, Bruno Mars’ “24K Magic” jumps up four places to take the top spot, dethroning last week’s #1, Rae Sremmurd’s “Black Beatles,” which slips to #3. Elsewhere this week, Rihanna’s “Love On The Brain” and Big Sean’s “Bounce Back” both creep into the Top 10 and lastly, Zay Hilfigerrr and Zayion McCall’s popular single “Juju On That Beat (TZ Anthem)” slips to #13 following a 61% decrease in week-on-week sales.
Bruno Mars Takes #1 Spot
Despite suffering a 27% decrease in sales post-Christmas, Bruno Mars’ “24K Magic” still jumps four places to #1 this week. The cut, which features on Mars’ third studio album of the same name, sold 77,181 units during the seven days leading to January 5, taking its total sales since its official release to 907,222 copies.
Migos Stands Strong At #2
Migos’ viral single “Bad And Boujee” remains at #2 this week. The cut, which features Lil Uzi Vert and is produced by Metro Boomin, sold 75,635 units during the seven days leading to January 5. Donald Glover’s shoutout for the song during his Golden Globe acceptance speech last weekend will only help the track’s numbers going forward.
Rae Sremmurd Slips To #3
Rae Sremmurd’s “Black Beatles” was another single to suffer from a significant dip in sales following the holiday season. The Gucci Mane-assisted cut sold 65,749 units during the seven days leading to January 5 – a 52% decrease on the 136,323 copies sold last week.
