Migos’ “Bad And Boujee” Reaches Top 5 On US iTunes Sales Chart; Niall Horan’s “This Town” Returns

The climb continues for Migos’ “Bad And Boujee (featuring Lil Uzi Vert).”

The song, which recently cracked the Top 10 on the US iTunes sales chart, vaulted into the Top 5 on Christmas Eve.

“Bad And Boujee” is currently #4 on the listing, beneath only Bruno Mars’ #1 “24K Magic,” Pentatonix’s “Hallelujah,” and Rae Sremmurd’s “Black Beatles (featuring Gucci Mane).”

In addition to growing exposure at radio, “Bad And Boujee” is benefiting from inclusion in a new viral Internet meme.

Niall Horan’s “This Town” also moved into the Top 5 on Christmas Eve; it is currently #5 on the chart. “This Town” is currently discounted; it may also be benefiting from early iTunes Christmas gift card redemptions. Young-skewing pop artists tend to receive the biggest December 24/25/26 lift as users redeem the gift cards they received for Christmas or, in the case of 2016, Hanukkah.
