The prior mark was set by Lady Gaga’s Just Dance (419,000) exactly a year ago. Gaga surpasses that sum as well with Bad Romance selling 445,000 downloads this week, good enough for No. 3.

Iyaz’s Replay jumped two places to No. 2. Former No. 1 Fireflies by Owl City rebounded one to No. 4, while recent chart-topper Empire State of Mind by Jay-Z + Alicia Keys fell three to No. 5.

Jason Derulo’s Whatcha Say (No. 6) and Jay Sean’s Down (No. 7) each moved up a slot. Miley Cyrus’ Party in the U.S.A. returned to the top 10 after a six-week break, soaring 11 places to No. 8. Sexy Chick by David Guetta featuring Akon slid three to No. 9.

Do You Remember, featuring Sean Paul & Lil Jon, jumped four places to a new high of No. 10, breaking a three-week streak of no titles moving into the top 10.

Disney starlet Selena Gomez enjoyed some holiday download benefits as she and her accompanying band The Scene scored the chart’s top debut at No. 39 with Naturally.

They also re-entered the Hot 100 at No. 92 with Falling Down.
