Taylor Swift ended 2012 and began 2013 atop the Billboard 200 chart with her latest studio album Red , and Bruno Mars is doing the same thing on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.
“ Locked Out of Heaven “ spends a fourth week at #1, and a second week at #1 on the Radio Songs chart, with a less than 1% increase to 140 million all-format audience impressions, according to Nielsen BDS.
The song serves as the official lead single from his second studio album Unorthodox Jukebox , which was released on December 4, 2012.
Not too far behind him at the #2 spot on the Hot 100 is Taylor’s “ I Knew You Were Trouble .” The song leaps from #4 and reaches its new peak, after bounding onto the chart at #3 nine weeks ago as a then-preview cut to Red. “Trouble” also serves as the fourth-best weekly sales sum of the digital with 582,000 downloads sold in a week.
“Trouble” trails only Flo Rida’s “Right Round” (636,000, Feb. 28, 2009), “We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together,” which is also a song by Taylor (623,000, Sept. 1, 2012) and Ke$ha’s “TiK ToK” (610,000, Jan. 9, 2010). With its latest frame, “Trouble” passes two million downloads sold to date.
