September 1, 200618 yr I want to know how Fergie is still on top on the Hot Digital Songs chart seeing as Justin nearly broke Shakira's record... No he didn't. He got 250,000 and she got 265,000. There's a 15,000 difference, which is a lot.
September 1, 200618 yr No he didn't. He got 250,000 and she got 265,000. There's a 15,000 difference, which is a lot. If someone came within 15,000 sales of breaking Elton John's record for most sold in a week quite a lot of people would say that they came close...
