Bruno Mars’ “24K Magic” Claims #1 On US iTunes Sales Chart Following “The Voice,” “Carpool Karaoke”

With the dust settling from this week’s “The Voice” episodes, a vacancy opened atop the US iTunes sales chart.

Bruno Mars’ “24K Magic” seized the throne. It replaced “The Voice” winner Sundance Head’s “Darlin’ Don’t Go” atop the chart.

Interestingly, its boost comes partially due to “The Voice.” Mars performed the song during Tuesday’s “The Voice” finale.

The artist also sang the song during the “Carpool Karaoke” bit on Tuesday’s “The Late Late Show With James Corden.”

ZAYN & Taylor Swift’s “I Don’t Wanna Live Forever,” which had been #1 on the US iTunes store prior to Monday’s “The Voice,” is back up to #2. Head’s “Darlin’ Don’t Go” and “At Last” are #3 and #4, respectively, while The Weeknd’s “Starboy (featuring Daft Punk)” (also performed during Tuesday’s “The Voice”) is #5.
