An annual spike in sales over Christmas yielded a Top 10 Hip Hop singles chart with nine songs doubling their previous week’s sales numbers and Big Sean again leading the pack with his E-40 assisted single.
Overall, five tracks broke the 100,000 sold marker in a single week, a height not a single song reached the week before. The only new track on the charts comes courtesy of R&B singer The Weeknd in the form of his Fifty Shades Of Grey movie single “Earned It,” which debuted with just under 92,000 purchases at the #6 spot. Meanwhile, Bobby Shmurda’s “Hot Boy” nearly reentered the Top 10 at #11 with 65,828 single sales last week alone.
Big Sean & E-40 See 145% Spike
After a steady reign at #1 over the last several weeks, Big Sean and E-40’s “I Don’t F**k With You” single more than doubled its previous week’s sales thanks to the holiday week. After pushing 68,499 singles leading up to Christmas, Sean and E-40 sold more than 168,000 singles in one week bringing the track’s total count all the up to 868,309.
