Drake’s “Hotline Bling” Drove 38.5K Sales Last Week; US Total Now 108.5K

In conjunction with its entry into the Top 40 on this week’s Billboard Hot 100, Drake’s “Hotline Bling” returned to its #30 peak on the Billboard Digital Songs subchart.

According to Nielsen Music, it earned that position on the strength of its 38.5K sales during the August 14-20 tracking week.

Up more than 30% from the previous week’s sales figure, the tally brought the cumulative “Hotline Bling” total to 108.5K.

Now being formally pushed to rhythmic radio by Republic Records, “Hotline Bling” officially arrived on July 31. The aforementioned 108.5K cume thus accounts for three weeks of availability.
