Earlier Thursday, Christina Aguilera’s new “Fall In Line (featuring Demi Lovato)” reached #1 on the US iTunes sales chart.

Backstreet Boys’ new single “Don’t Go Breaking My Heart” now occupies the #1 position. “Fall In Line” follows at #2.

“Don’t Go Breaking My Heart” represents the first career iTunes #1 for the group, which achieved its greatest success prior to the digital era.
