The week following the release of “50 Shades of Grey” proved very fruitful to the soundtrack’s two official singles.<\/p>\n
Ellie Goulding’s “Love Me Like You Do,” which last week rose to #6 on the chart, vaults to #3 on this week’s listing. While it remains one spot shy of Goulding’s career peak (“Lights” hit #2), “Love Me Like You Do” is proving to be a massive success story for the UK artist.<\/p>\n
The song’s three position Hot 100 rise comes in association with a three place rise on the Digital Songs subchart. With weekly sales of 205,000, “Love Me Like You Do” was the week’s #2 seller. Only “Uptown Fuk” (257,000) had a stronger sales week.<\/p>\n
“Love Me Like You Do” also enjoys gains on the Streaming Songs (#3, +3; 9.6 million, +30%) and Radio Songs subcharts (#17, +11; 52 million impressions, +21%).<\/p>\n
— The Weeknd’s “50 Shades” single “Earned It” also enjoys a Hot 100 boost this week. The track rises three places to #9 on the chart.<\/p>\n
It, too, enjoys gains on the key subcharts: Digital Songs (#6, +3; 120,000, +18%), Streaming Songs (#4, +14; 8.3 million, +53%) and Radio Songs (22 million, +37%).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":35290,"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],"tags":[3466,3368,674,3454,791],"adace-sponsor":[],"yoast_head":"\n
