Posted October 15, 200816 yr Womanizer #1? Sells 250,000+ First Week -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Anthony Jones - Celebrity News Service Contributor Miami, FL (CNS) -- "Womanizer", the debut single from Britney Spears' latest album Circus, climbed up to the #1 spot of iTunes Top Downloads chart in less than 24 hours upon it's release last Tuesday and has not moved since. A final sales tally won't be available until Thursday, but predictions are estimating sales of over 250,000 downloads through iTunes and other digital outlets including Amazon, Rhapsody and Walmart. A racy new video, which premiered Friday night and already has over 3 million online views, should propel its sales and could possibly keep it at #1 for another week. Rapper T.I., whose latest album Paper Trail was just released last week, scores 2 chart-topping singles with "Live Your Life" featuring Rihanna at #2 and "Whatever You Like," moving down to #6, respectively. "Live Your Life" is the current #1 Hot 100 Billboard single, while "Whatever You Like" is #2. Once sales and airplay are factored together, T.I.'s two monster singles and Spears' debut should round out the Top 3 singles at Billboard. Former #1 "So What" by pop artist Pink is still strong at #3 on iTunes, while the latest single by "I Kissed A Girl" singer Katy Perry, "Hot 'N Cold", is currently in the #4 spot. Newcomer Kevin Rudolf's single, "Let It Rock," featuring rapper Lil' Wayne continues steady on the iTunes chart at #5. Taylor Swift's "Love Story" hits its highest placement so far on the chart at #7, while Kanye West tribal love song "Love Lockdown" is at #8. Nickelback's new single, "Gotta Be Somebody," off their upcoming album is steadily rising up the chart at #9. Christina Aguilera's electro-tinged release off her upcoming greatest hits of the same name, "Keeps Gettin' Better," moves down to #10. iTunes Top 10 as of Tuesday, October 14th: 1. "Womanizer"-- Britney Spears 2. "Live Your Life"-- T.I. featuring Rihanna 3. "So What"-- Pink 4. "Hot 'N Cold"-- Katy Perry 5. "Let It Rock" -- Kevin Rudolf & Lil Wayne 6.
