Jessie J + Ariana Grande + Nicki Minaj&#8217;s &#8220;Bang Bang&#8221; is #4.<\/p>\n<p><b>Update:<\/b> It turns out there was another song in the mix.<\/p>\n<p>While it seemed like Nicki Minaj&#8217;s &#8220;Anaconda&#8221; was at constant risk of losing its #1 iTunes spot to either her own (with Jessie J and Ariana Grande) &#8220;Bang Bang&#8221; or Meghan Trainor&#8217;s &#8220;All About That Bass,&#8221; that overview appearance left out another contender.<\/p>\n<p>Lecrae&#8217;s &#8220;All I Need is You,&#8221; that contender, jumped to #1 on the iTunes overall single sales chart Tuesday morning.  Included in the &#8220;Anomaly&#8221; pre-order, the song benefited from an initial spike that is unlikely to be sustained beyond the nearest of futures.<\/p>\n<p>It does, however, mean that &#8220;Anaconda&#8221; slips, at least temporarily, to #2.  &#8220;All About That Bass&#8221; follows at #3, while Jessie J + Ariana Grande + Nicki Minaj are #4 with &#8220;Bang Bang.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Wiz Khalifa&#8217;s &#8220;Promises&#8221; slides in at #5, besting Maroon 5&#8217;s #6 &#8220;Maps,&#8221; Sam Smith&#8217;s #7 &#8220;Stay With Me,&#8221; Alex and Sierra&#8217;s #8 &#8220;Just Kids,&#8221; MAGIC!&#8217;s #9 &#8220;Rude&#8221; and Jason Aldean&#8217;s &#8220;Burnin&#8217; it Down.&#8221;<\/em><br \/>\n=======<\/p>\n<p>Nicki Minaj&#8217;s &#8220;Anaconda&#8221; has officially reached the #1 spot on iTunes&#8217; single sales chart.<\/p>\n<p>It accomplished the feat after about 24 hours of availability.  &#8220;Bang Bang,&#8221; which is credited to the superstar collaboration of Jessie J, Ariana Grande and Minaj, slipped to number two to make room for &#8220;Anaconda.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Insofar as &#8220;Bang Bang,&#8221; &#8220;Anaconda&#8221; and Meghan Trainor&#8217;s #3 &#8220;All About That Bass&#8221; are all moving at roughly the same pace, it is possible they will play hot potato with the #1 spot over the next few hours.<\/p>\n<p>What will not change, however, is the fact that Minaj&#8217;s &#8220;Anaconda&#8221; did officially get to the top of the chart.<\/p>\n<p>Other Top 10 songs on iTunes include Maroon 5&#8217;s &#8220;Maps&#8221; (#4), MAGIC!&#8217;s &#8220;Rude&#8221; (#5), Sam Smith&#8217;s &#8220;Stay With Me&#8221; (#6), Jason Aldean&#8217;s &#8220;Burnin&#8217; it Down&#8221; (#7), Sia&#8217;s &#8220;Chandelier&#8221; (#8), Charli XCX&#8217;s &#8220;Boom Clap&#8221; (#9) and Becky G&#8217;s &#8220;Shower&#8221; (#10).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0},"categories":[1047,206],"tags":[2475,2625,692,2624,2622,2474,288],"adace-sponsor":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.1 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Update: Nicki Minaj&#039;s &quot;Anaconda&quot; Returns to #1<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Update 2: Following a brief drop to the #2 slot, Nicki Minaj&#039;s &quot;Anaconda&quot; is back to #1 on the iTunes single sales chart.
