Katy Perry: "Part of Me" sells 411k in its first week
Quote:
Katy Perry's "Part Of Me" enters Hot Digital Songs at #1. It sold 411K copies this week. But one song sold even more copies, if you combine the three different versions that appear on this week's chart. That, of course, is "I Will Always Love You." Whitney Houston's version sold 367K copies. Amber Riley's version from Glee sold 36K copies. Jennifer Hudson's version from the Grammys sold 15K. Grand total: 418K. Will "Part Of Me" also enter the Hot 100 at #1? You'll find out later today when we post Chart Watch: Songs.
"'I Will Be' is a song I have known for a while… From the outside looking in I know that everyone was fighting for Avril to put this on her record but for reasons I will not disclose, Avril, did not... I remember Luke playing this song for me months ago and I was at the point of tears knowing I heard a song that would be the hugest thing ever… I mean, people, be prepared to hear this song at EVERY WEDDING for a LONG time."
