Kanye West’s “Only One” Scores 125K Opening Week Sales

Despite not arriving until the middle of the tracking week, Kanye West’s “Only One (featuring Paul McCartney)” debuts in the top ten of the weekly single sales chart.

Per Nielsen, “Only One” drove 125,000 paid downloads during its first week of availability. That total thrusts the emotional track into the #10 spot on Billboard’s Digital Songs chart.

The song represents West’s first top ten seller since “Clique” reached a peak of #2 in 2012. It is his highest-debuting effort since his 2011 Jay Z collaboration “HAM.” That song also debuted at #10 on the Digital Songs chart.
