Nelly’s “Die A Happy Man” Debuts With 35.2K US Sales

Nelly’s cover of Thomas Rhett’s “Die A Happy Man,” which is currently gaining traction at the pop and rhythmic radio formats, was one of the February 5-11 tracking week’s Top 25 digital singles.

According to Nielsen Music, Nelly’s cover sold 35,239 US copies during the seven-day period. Barring final revisions from Nielsen and Billboard, the tally positions “Die A Happy Man” at #24 on Digital Songs.

It ranks as the week’s third-highest debut behind Future’s #9 “Low Life” and Future’s #21 “Fly Shit Only” (the new Nicki Minaj remix of “Down In The DM” also sold slightly more, but its sales are lumped into the Yo Gotti song’s overall total).

— Up 10% in weekly sales, Rhett’s original version takes #16 on Digital Songs with 42,541. To date, it has sold 1,110,500 in the US.
