This site tracks the top iTunes songs for those who don’t want to keep bringing up iTunes. Some interesting movements this morning:
Top 100 Songs:
14. Somewhere Over the Rainbow – Israel Kamakawiwo’ole
44. Angels – Robbie Williams
77. Somewhere Over the Rainbow / What a Wonderful World – Israel Kamakawiwo’ole
Top 100 Rock Songs:
20. Innocent – Our Lady Peace

73. Angels – Jessica Simpson
Top 100 Country Songs:
11. Anyway – Martina McBride
Top 100 R&B Songs:
9. I Believe – Fantasia
Interesting numbers for I Believe. Interesing indeed.
THAT MANY PEOPLE really wanted Jessica Simpson’s download of Angels??? Not sure what the previous numbers for that song were, but DAY…UM some poeple really like to torture themselves don’t they??
Why do I have a feeling with the bump in the original artists download numbers after Idol performances that we could see more music companies cutting deals with Idol to get their songs sung on the show, regardless of whether an Idol really wants to sing a specific song. EEK!
Thanks Kirsten
