Bieber [WDYM | Def Jam]
Another solid — albeit reduced — week-over-week sales total brought Justin Bieber’s “What Do You Mean?” within striking distance of the 1 million cumulative mark.
According to Nielsen Music, “What Do You Mean?” sold 72,543 US copies during the October 9-15 tracking week.
While that trails the previous week’s mark by 10%, it allows “WDYM” to retain its #5 position on Digital Songs.
Moreover, it brings the song’s cumulative US sales total to 965,824. Sure to sell more than 34,176 copies during the October 16-22 tracking period, “What Do You Mean?” should thus have no trouble reaching the 1 million mark before the current week concludes.
