It spent the duration of Friday at #1.<\/p>\n<p>The dynamic changed Saturday morning.  Lukas Graham&#8217;s international hit seized the throne and is currently (as of noon ET Saturday) the fastest-selling song at the US iTunes store.  It is #1 on the all-genre single sales chart.<\/p>\n<p>The international hit has proven immensely resonant with American music fans; it soared into impressive iTunes territory the moment it began to receive meaningful radio exposure.  In reaching #1 without any non-conventional\/viral promotions, &#8220;7 Years&#8221; has put an exclamation point on that claim of resonance.  American music fans &#8212; like music fans from around the world &#8212; love this song!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":54987,"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":[5462,5405],"adace-sponsor":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.1 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Lukas Graham&#039;s &quot;7 Years&quot; Reaches #1 on US iTunes Sales Chart<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"While Lukas Graham&#039;s &quot;7 Years&quot; finally overtook Rihanna&#039;s &quot;Work (featuring Drake)&quot; on the US iTunes sales chart early Friday, it did not immediately get\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/2016\/03\/05\/lukas-grahams-7-years-reaches-1-on-us-itunes-sales-chart\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Lukas Graham&#039;s &quot;7 Years&quot; Reaches #1 on US iTunes Sales Chart\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"While Lukas Graham&#039;s &quot;7 Years&quot; finally overtook Rihanna&#039;s &quot;Work (featuring Drake)&quot; on the US iTunes sales chart early Friday, it did not immediately get\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/2016\/03\/05\/lukas-grahams-7-years-reaches-1-on-us-itunes-sales-chart\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Headline Planet\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2016-03-05T17:12:41+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/02\/Lukas-Graham-WB.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"2500\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"1663\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Brian Cantor\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:creator\" content=\"@cantorpedia\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:site\" content=\"@headlineplanet\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/2016\/03\/05\/lukas-grahams-7-years-reaches-1-on-us-itunes-sales-chart\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/2016\/03\/05\/lukas-grahams-7-years-reaches-1-on-us-itunes-sales-chart\/\",\"name\":\"Lukas Graham's \\\"7 Years\\\" Reaches #1 on US iTunes Sales Chart\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/#website\"},\"datePublished\":\"2016-03-05T17:12:41+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2016-03-05T17:12:41+00:00\",\"author\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/#\/schema\/person\/b530255b81ceb7463ea060a9b8a302c8\"},\"description\":\"While Lukas Graham's \\\"7 Years\\\" finally overtook Rihanna's \\\"Work (featuring Drake)\\\" on the US iTunes sales chart early Friday, it did not immediately get\",\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/2016\/03\/05\/lukas-grahams-7-years-reaches-1-on-us-itunes-sales-chart\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"WebSite\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/#website\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/\",\"name\":\"Headline Planet\",\"description\":\"Music News &amp; Charts, TV News &amp; Spoilers\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"SearchAction\",\"target\":{\"@type\":\"EntryPoint\",\"urlTemplate\":\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/?s={search_term_string}\"},\"query-input\":\"required name=search_term_string\"}],\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\"},{\"@type\":\"Person\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/#\/schema\/person\/b530255b81ceb7463ea060a9b8a302c8\",\"name\":\"Brian Cantor\",\"image\":{\"@type\":\"ImageObject\",\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/headlineplanet.com\/home\/#\/schema\/person\/image\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/5726265e0532f231e46bbddd41009383?s=96&d=mm&r=g\",\"contentUrl\":\"https:\/\/secure.gravatar.com\/avatar\/5726265e0532f231e46bbddd41009383?s=96&d=mm&r=g\",\"caption\":\"Brian Cantor\"},\"description\":\"Brian Cantor is the editor-in-chief for Headline Planet.
