LMFAO scores a second week atop the Billboard Hot 100 with “Sexy and I Know It.”
The confident duo’s previous leader, “Party Rock Anthem,” featuring Lauren Bennett and GoonRock, meanwhile, continues its lengthy residence in the chart’s top 10.
“Sexy” remains in charge of the Hot 100 by logging a fifth week at No. 1 on the Digital Songs chart, selling 417,000 downloads (up 6%; its best sales week to-date), according to Nielsen SoundScan, over the Dec. 26-Jan. 1 sales tracking week.
“Sexy” stays at No. 3 on Radio Songs with 100 million in all-format audience (down 3%), according to Nielsen BDS.
LMFAO additionally claims the Hot 100’s No. 6 title, as former six-week No. 1 “Party Rock Anthem” rises 9-6 as the chart’s top Digital Gainer (296,000; up 38%).
The surge is typical, as months-old hits annually climb in sales in the week after Christmas, when consumers fill newly-unwrapped electronic music players with the year’s top smashes.
“Anthem” registers its 28th week in the Hot 100’s top tier, a total that only two titles have bested: LeAnn Rimes’ “How Do I Live” (32 weeks, 1997-98) and Santana’s “Smooth,” featuring Rob Thomas (30, 1999-2000). Jewel’s “You Were Meant for Me”/”Foolish Games” also racked 28 weeks in the top 10 in 1997-98 (as “Games” followed “Meant” to the top of Radio Songs in 1997).
